The fact that the athletic dept. has to constantly remind us how good Adidas has been to us despite making profane and embarrassing baseball jerseys speaks volumes.

I like it. We can even crazier and give it the silver/chrome look.
I don't mind trying out wild uniforms in football. It's not as if he have a standard go-to.

I'd rather feel like I'm watching MSU. And another thing, I no longer buy into this stuff about the players liking them, way too many traditional powerhouses stay basic.
You answered your own question. Traditional powerhouses. I don't think we fall into that category.

Sick. In a good way. Those are hot. 17 the whiners. It's one game and players/recruits love them. STFU.
And for the people bitching about how we play in black jerseys, it has wayyyy more to do with our opponents. Bama and FL, unless I'm remembering incorrectly. And I expect UK to play us tough this year. They have for several years now. We'll win, but it'll be a lot closer than most of you think it "should" be.
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

That makes sense.

No matter what their aesthetic appeal, I cringe every time we announce black uniforms. According to research at Cornell & Florida, teams that wear black uniforms consistently ranked near the top of their leagues in penalties. Additionally, switches from non-black to black uniforms have been associated with an increase in penalties. Anybody remember the 2010 kentucky game at The Hump? Varnado fouled out before Calipari's hair gel even had a chance to dry.

Love them, and I've loved 75-80% of what Adidas has done for our athletic program. And for the "we always lose in black" morons, we tend to have lost those games because we weren't very good…. Playing very good teams.

Wearing a black jersey isn't going to get us any recruit, just as not wearing won't lose us one. That argument is asinine and always has been.

Lol...Right. Here's my research. Every team that made the college playoffs last year with the exception of Bama have worn black jerseys lately. That company is pretty good and we're not Bama so we can kill all the history and prestige talk as well.

We beat Louisiana Tech wearing black in 2011. In overtime.
Like I said, I don't mind black uniforms for one game- but I would prefer it be a non power five OOC opponent.

The only thing I would change is add black pants and go for an all black look.

I'll agree that kids are not going to choose where to play football based on uniforms but I will also guess that most high school kids don't know or even care that Alabama, Penn State, etc. are wearing the same uniforms that they did 275 years ago. The kids do notice the different uniforms that teams currently wear which means they are paying attention to Mississippi State if they like their different uniforms.
As long as we go into the Kentucky game 7-0 I don't really care what we are wearing.

if the players like them, wear them. If they don't, don't. I'm all for whatever gets them rolling.

Whether they like them or not our past performances have shown that they don't exactly get us "rolling". Yes, we've played some good teams while wearing them but there is much more to it than that. We've mostly played like total crap while wearing them.
