I agree. I like the uniforms and it being patterned after a plane named for Sonny makes it even more special. Great unis.

When I first saw the lids and the Mississippi from just the side I thought that shouldn't be on a helmet but when you see the pics all the way around and the back with the banner going all the way around they look pretty cool. Not cool as in that's what should always be on our lids but cool as in a one off specifically for the military, and I know our guys as well as the military will love them. Already seen several military guys from Columbus afb on Facebook wanting to get these helmets for their cases at the base. That tells me all I need to know. This is for them, not you.

I like the idea of honoring Sonny, and see where they were going with the uni - it just so happens going with a cargo plane as inspiration leads to bland colors and lettering. If you left the banner and "STATE" off the helmet, and let it be inspired by the aircraft then I think it would be much better. To me it looks like they tried to do too much with the helmet.

I do really like the back of the helmet with with the medals and Sonny's name in the raised letters. That's a unique way to honor someone.
Maybe I like simple stuff too much. We could have honored the MS National Guard - Jackie style - and everyone wears different unit patches on their shoulder, and added the Sonny items on a regular helmet and I think been much better off.

Someone else said that the banner is on the plane also.

I personally think they are great. The symbolism is awesome. If you are honoring one person from our university, it would certainly be Sonny Montgomery.

Everything on twitter I have seen is most people like them and the Players LOVE them.

I've wanted a grey alternate uniform for years and these aren't bad. The helmet, on the other hand, looks pretty terrible. I've always thought the Mississippi font in the state's logos looked bad though.

I like the uniforms but am just ok with the helmet. It makes more sense because that design is on the plane. I like grey uniforms - UT's smoke grey was the only ones I thought looked good. I have wanted to see what our version would look like.

Watch Ole Miss try to copy us only with a straight up confederate uniform. Their fans would love it.

If the gray helmet had the interlocking MSU on them would you like them better?

I would like them better than the Mississippi script, yes. I am too young to remember the JWS years well and have a real connection to the interlocking MSU logo, so that wouldn't be my first choice of all the options.

Before saying something is dumb, you may want to look at the reason behind it.
The design is the same design flown on the tail of many military aircraft based in Mississippi. See the link for an example
