That's not Penn State we've worn white helmets since Jackie Wayne. And, we loved it then and players still love them now. I wish we would have worn them all year.

We wore them in the 1960's and since then have used them sporadically. They are awful looking. I know players may like them and once a season is ok with me- but like Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, etc- they dont change their helmets. We shouldnt either

[Bully13]

the way we do ours sux. they are so ugly and so not cool. with Penn State, they go pretty plain jane and have a kinda cool look to them. I can't believe the players like our white helmets. our white helmets have always sucked.

1999 = Best MSU uniform season ever. Also best MSU team ever since the 1940's.

I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures with our guys wearing maroon helmets too. I'm not expecting a lot of uniform changes personally.

If anything, we may get a silver jersey or something like that and I hope we go back to the Black 1999 uniform that we wore in 2015 for Kentucky instead of the patriotic black jersey. I also hope we bring back the Egg Bowl uniforms for 2019 at least if not this year as well.

We wore white helmets twice last year & have at least once or twice for the last 3-4yrs let's not act like JoeMo is bringing some new Penn St tradition.

ETA: we've been wearing maroon helmets at practice. My guess is recruits think the white helmets look fresher for their pics.

Horseshit. You’re sounding like Shotgun with this thread. If a recruit wants a pink helmet, give the guy a pink helmet; who the hell cares?

Brands are instilled when the games are played. What does the “average joe” remember from last year’s game at UGA when we played in prime time? The fact we got absolutely destroyed or the color of our uniforms?

Lovin' me some white!! Look good! I think we should wear about 4 different colored helmets during the season. Maroon, White, Black, & Silver. Keep everybody on their toes! If we're good, we can beat anybody in any color.

[Bothrops]

If we use white helmets I'm quitting. But really, we might as well do away with maroon and adopt black or gray in its place, if we do. Black..gray...white.. chants in the stadium, I can hear them now. If we go to white helmets we better damn well win the SEC.

Previous posts have already addressed those teams mentioned wearing different colored helmets. Let's be honest Mullen is the most familiar brand that people remember for MSU football. We haven't won anything to have a brand. We've been too inconsistent to establish one.

If all the fans were more like you, we would have sooooo many NCs by now!

[Todd4State]

If I was the MSU fashion coordinator this is what I what do and how I would do it.

1. I would buy back the interlocking MSU logo. I don't care if LT likes M-State and that's the real reason why we use it. I would have MSU take it out of my salary since you can do that when you are paid 2.5 million a year.

2. Maroon helmets, maroon jerseys, white pants for home games against SEC West teams not named Ole Miss and home games against in state teams- USM, Jackson State, Alcorn, and Valley. Also wear this when we are the home team in a bowl game or Kickoff Classic.

3. Maroon helmets, white jerseys, white pants for road games against SEC West teams and USM. We're never going to play the SWAC teams on the road in my lifetime. Or maybe the Earth's lifetime either. Use this uniform combination when we are the road team in a bowl game or Kickoff Classic.

4. Egg Bowl uniforms for at the very least home Egg Bowls. Gold helmets, maroon jerseys, maroon pants like we wore in 2013. Like the last time we won the Egg Bowl in Starkville and also the also the last time we had a coach that gave a shit during the Egg Bowl in Starkville.

5. Maroon helmet, maroon jersey, silver pants for home SEC East games.

6. Maroon helmet, white jersey, silver pants for road SEC East games.

7. All maroon uniforms for homecoming. Preferably an OOC team.

8. Maroon helmet, white jersey, maroon pants for OOC road games that don't involve USM.

9. Black out against an OOC team. Preferably let the SEC know we want this game at night if at all possible.

10. Maroon helmet, maroon jersey, silver pants against any other remaining OOC opponent. If Adidas wants to do something goofy in the remaining OOC game I wouldn't like it but I'd rather them do it here than a conference game.

[Homedawg]

Agree on most of that. I don’t think people use “home” or “away” uniforms anymore.
They just say, “I feel like wearing ______ for this game. Let’s do that.” But we need set uniforms; we wear this for home, that for road, etc.

[Homedawg]

Well, I guess as long as MSU people look at their program this way, it will remain true.

I don't give a happy damn what we wear if we win like national powers. I have an opinion on uniforms like everyone else, but at the end of the day, the unis are for the players and therefore, it really doesn't make that big of a deal to me at least.

[yjnkdawg]

My favorite uniforms and helmets were the 1999 Jackie ones , but if the recruits or our players like some of these other (Adidas) designed uniforms and white helmets, etc., it's for them and not us.

[yjnkdawg]

Actually there are rules about jerseys. To my understanding for teams like LSU and Georgia Tech that like to wear white jerseys at home they have to get approval from the opponent to do so. We've been kind of asses about it to LSU before where we have worn white jerseys for a couple of home games against them because of that. It didn't work out very well for us on the field.

One game that I think is kind of cool is USC and UCLA. If I'm not mistaken they traditionally both wear their home jerseys when they play each other. I think the penalty for wearing an unapproved jersey is the team loses a timeout in the first half.

[Todd4State]

It's for ALL of us. We're ALL in the MSU family. I'm not saying that the players thoughts and what they want to wear should be totally discredited but at the same time I don't think it's right to just discredit the fans and alumni either. I think there can be compromise between the two.

Heck, I remember last year two of our recruits had an interlocking MSU helmet on the table when they signed their LOI with us. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a lot of the players like what a lot of us like. I've seen recruits take pictures with both maroon and white helmets and all kinds of uniform combinations. And I've seen a lot with both maroon and white helmets when they're taking pictures and putting them on Twitter.

[bulldawg28]

Right. Due to Mullen and he's gone that's been our brand.

[bulldawg28]

Winning and longevity creates a brand. What has the football team done to create a brand outside of Mullen? Nothing wrong with trying new things.

[Dawgface]

Actually, even though we got Joe from Penn State I would imagine that he is much more ingrained at Fordham. Based on the Fordham uniform combinations- I'm not too worried about the maroon helmets going anywhere.

[Todd4State]

It's not a commonly known rule.

Just ****ing win.

[CadaverDawg]

1. Most likely the kids chose white for pics
2. I doubt we wear them more than a time or two (like the last few years)
3. As long as we don’t go Penn State look like Croom tried to make us look like Bama-lite, I’m fine with whatever.

As long as Joe knows we are not a program for him to turn into Penn St, We are Mississippi State....he’s cool in my book. That Croom shit scarred me, so just don’t let us show up with plain white helmets with no logo or I’ll go apeshit.

[DudyDawg]

We wore them in the 1960's and since then have used them sporadically. They are awful looking. I know players may like them and once a season is ok with me- but like Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, etc- they dont change their helmets. We shouldnt either

I can think of at least 3 different OU helmets baker mayfield worn in his time there alone. You?re flat wrong about that. Alternate helmets/uniforms are the norm in college football now. Way more teams change them up than only use one.

As for our whites, I love them. We are maroon and white. It makes sense. The silver I hate. Looks bad and doesn?t fit our color scheme.

ETA- I think every single SEC team outside of Bama, Auburn, and UGA use alternate jerseys and helmets.

[Matty Dispatch]

9. Black out against an OOC team. Preferably let the SEC know we want this game at night if at all possible.



One thing our marketing department needs to do is hold off on announcing which games are which until we know game times. They announce the black out in August every year and then by the time we get there the SEC says it's an 11:00 game.

One game that I think is kind of cool is USC and UCLA. If I'm not mistaken they traditionally both wear their home jerseys when they play each other. I think the penalty for wearing an unapproved jersey is the team loses a timeout in the first half.

Here's a little more background about USC/UCLA both wearing color jerseys (http://thecomeback.com/thestudentsection/2014/uniforms-of-the-week-usc-and-ucla-continue-a-colorful-tradition.html) and the current rules, in case anyone is interested:

The tradition of both teams wearing home uniforms goes back decades in the series history. USC and UCLA each played home games in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1928 through 1981. Because both schools called the Coliseum home, both teams wore their home uniforms when the two met in a game...

Part of the reason this practice of wearing road uniforms also continued was due to an NCAA rule requiring road teams to wear a contrasting color of the home team's uniforms, which typically meant road teams were expected to wear white uniforms. This rule is also why LSU has been able to wear white uniforms at home. The rule did not require the home team to wear a colored jersey, just that the road team must wear a contrasting color...

The following season, back in the Rose Bowl in 2012, UCLA stuck to its traditional home look and USC suited up in its home uniforms once again. By now the NCAA had adjusted its rules regarding uniform choices, allowing road teams and home teams to agree to allow for uniforms like this in any particular game without penalty*.

*I don't think this change negated the rule about contrasting colors completely. While it's not a problem for powder blue UCLA and cardinal USC, I don't think both "home" jerseys are allowed for teams with similar colors like if MSU were playing Alabama, much less A&M.

[Tbonewannabe]

It's for ALL of us. We're ALL in the MSU family. I'm not saying that the players thoughts and what they want to wear should be totally discredited but at the same time I don't think it's right to just discredit the fans and alumni either. I think there can be compromise between the two.

And I've seen a lot with both maroon and white helmets when they're taking pictures and putting them on Twitter.

That was probably more to do with what MSU helmet the school could get. I seriously doubt any recruits would go out of their way to get a helmet that hasn't been worn in over a decade because they liked it. I am not saying it is impossible because it could be the helmet that a family member or friend.

I think everyone that is so gung ho about the MSJ logo is definitely thinking back to winning the West and Peach Bowl when in actuality we used those helmets for less than a decade. We did have the MSU style helmet from 1979 - 2003 but there was the ugly ass MSU bubble letter in there for several years. That logo was the worst in my opinion because it looked like a 10 year old girl drew it.

I honestly wouldn't care if we went back to the MSJ logo but now all of our highlights of being ranked #1 and of Dak all are going to have the MState logo. Whether you like it or not, the MState is a lot more recognizable nationwide than MSU now. ESPN and other nationwide sports reporting also refers to Michigan State as MSU so there is confusion there.

[NCDawg]

10. Maroon helmet, maroon jersey, silver pants against any other remaining OOC opponent. If Adidas wants to do something goofy in the remaining OOC game I wouldn't like it but I'd rather them do it here than a conference game.

I like 1, 2, and 3. The rest, no. If Joe wants us to use a version of the Penn State uniforms, I guess it would be ok with me; white helmet with maroon stripe (nothing else-no numbers), plain maroon jerseys, white pants, and black shoes at home and plain white on white on the road.

[DudyDawg]

I?ll gladly say it to your face if the determining factor for you, or any other donor/season ticket holder, for not donating or re-purchasing is helmet color. And it would be accurate. If the players, students, and recruits all like it, embrace it.

[DudyDawg]

I will say it a different way; it is insanely hypocritical to hate on the younger generation for caring about new jerseys/helmets/?swag? when it comes to players and recruits, while in the same breath implying that boosters and ticket holders will back out bc of caring about those same things. Grow up.

The man has spent 2 years of his 20+ year career at Penn State.

Chances are they bought those helmets for spring practice.

Neither does TCU

So just to recap, every school mentioned has worn at least three different helmets in the last four years.

[Jack Lambert]

You let me know what tent you will watch the game from in protest bc of a helmet color, and I will be sure to chirp ya on my way into Davis wade to support.

I never said I would be in a tent. I don't tail gate. I will be in stadium but we can meet prior to me going in. Like I said i survived those ugly ass white Croom helmets. I will always buy tickets and go to games regardless but season ticket holders opinion should be taking into account.

Those UGA black helmets are sick

[Coach34]

Those teams do it about once a year. As I said earlier in thread- a white helmet once a year is fine.

[Bulldog1]

Goodness. Is there a way to decrease picture size?

[drunkernhelldawg]

I remember the chair harassing one of our ladies for a tatoo not covered when I was assistant volleyball coach. I'll never forget my pal, our head coach, saying to the chair, "What is this? A fashion show or a volleyball match?" The chair straightened up and extended her arm. Ready for serve.

I understand what you?re saying and I agree to an extent. But what I think you are missing about what I?m saying is a) the hypocrisy of acting like the younger generation is self absorbed/involved/whatever for caring about uniforms and helmets while bitching about it yourselves (not just you) and b) that if someone?s status as a ticket holder or donator hinges on helmet colors, they aren?t a fan I want associated with the program in the first place. Which is what you implied in the first place. If someone is really going to not donate bc we wore ****ing white helmets, good, we will be better without them

[DudyDawg]

Georgia doesnt change their helmet
South Carolina isnt changing their helmets often
UPig doesnt change theirs much
Neither does TCU

its about being consistent and instilling your brand

a) that isn?t what you said earlier in the thread. You were no where near that specific and clearly are changing the goal posts bc you?re wrong b) good on ya for getting this many clicks in a thread. But still, ya know, you?re wrong. Everyone bar a very very small handful changes helmets more than once a year.

ETA- TCU sells 3 different versions of their purple jersey alone on their website. I?d love to see the conniption if we had 3 different maroon jerseys in 2017 alone

Except they do. Just as OFTEN and AS MUCH as we do

[DudyDawg]

Even Notre Dame, who, like them or not, probably has the most recognizable ?brand? in college football wears alternates. Get with the times.

[Coach34]

no they dont. Those are pics of helmets over the last few years- not just last season.

[NCDawg]

I don't think Kirby Smart changed the Georgia uniforms any last year. Think he wants to establish a tradition at Georgia, like Saban at Alabama.

[TUSK]

We wore them in the 1960's and since then have used them sporadically. They are awful looking. I know players may like them and once a season is ok with me- but like Alabama, Oklahoma, USC, etc- they dont change their helmets. We shouldnt either

Point of note, buddy... Bammer went to white helmets twice (that I can recall)... one year in the early 60s and again under Perkins in 1983... the latter was an abomination and Perkins should have been tarred & feathered, drawn & quartered, boiled in oil & strongly chastised, even... IMO...

Oh, and get off my lawn.***

[bulldawg28]

No, we have white helmets.

The bear bryant white helmets were nice. you better not put those down or you go to bama hell with mike price

[99jc]

Oklahoma has white helmets they break out every now and then

I don't give a flying 17 what color our helmets are as long as we win the SEC.

[TUSK]

No doubt, they were pretty sweet... but Bear coulda put them boys in sequin helmets and we bammers woulda been on board....

I never said I was not going to donate or stop buying season tickets. All I was saying they need booster and season ticket buyers and our opinions should matter. It is however obvious that they don't really care about what I think. I still will donate and buy tickets.

I wonder how much Cohen opinion factors in?

The only reason I got angry is you called me a *****. I am not a *****. I spent five years active duty in the Marine Corp proving other wise. I don't think you would call me a ***** face to face. Not that you are scare I just don't think most people are that way. I will meet you on game. I don't drink Alcohol but I am not above buying a beer for someone.

I apologize if that seemed only directed at you. Wasn?t the intention. I simply meant anyone who wouldn?t buy/donate bc of a helmet being white when we chant maroon/white is a petulant child. I?d buy you a drink as well, apologies for anything personal.

[smootness]

no they dont. Those are pics of helmets over the last few years- not just last season.

But we’re talking about a change for next year and you brought up SC as a team who apparently doesn’t do that much. They change their base helmet color like every freakin year.

I would imagine that the athletic department has a LOT of input into the uniforms. Probably more than the players that allegedly "like" whatever the fans don't like if I had to guess.

All the schools you listed either used more helmets or the same number as we did (UGA and MSU both used 3) from 2014-2017.

Helmets 2014-2017
UGA: 3
TCU: 5+
USCE: 4
ARK: 4

MSU: 3

No apology needed. I apologize for making a ass of my self.

[Pit Bull]

I can think of at least 3 different OU helmets baker mayfield worn in his time there alone. You?re flat wrong about that. Alternate helmets/uniforms are the norm in college football now. Way more teams change them up than only use one.

As for our whites, I love them. We are maroon and white. It makes sense. The silver I hate. Looks bad and doesn?t fit our color scheme.

ETA- I think every single SEC team outside of Bama, Auburn, and UGA use alternate jerseys and helmets.

BAMA is the ONLY SEC team I have never seen wear any promotion or special jersey/helmet. I have seen UGA wear solid black jerseys and I think Auburn once wore a digital military jersey at a home game.......but BAMA......never. BAMA has never changed their uniforms one iota for any occasion.....not even pink shoes or socks for cancer awareness.

Alabama has worn them before but it was very subtle. I think they had houndstooth engrained into a special uniform once but it looked white like their normal uniforms.

That just shows that it's the administration, not the players wishes, that make the decisions. Bama players are higher rated, but as far as liking "kid" stuff they're just like anybody else. So we wouldn't be doing it either based solely on what the "kids" want. Personally, I prefer just a home uniform and an away uniform.

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

OH MY GOD YOU TYPED IN ALL CAPS. YOU ARE AWESOME. **** YOU. I LOVE MAROON HELMETS
