Egg Bowl Uniforms [Archive]

Not gold. Gold on maroon screams old Italian men in crushed velvet maroon track suits with golden bracelets, rings, and chains. If we are going to use a metallic, use chrome instead. Just my thoughts.

Steve has hinted that we may wear the old interlocking MSU helmet / late 90s jersey for the egg bowl. Nothing for sure but he has thrown out some bread crumbs to insinuate it may happen.

I am not a big fan of the old MSJ logo, but for the Eggbowl it definitely seems to fit for a Thanksgiving game.
Would love to see the Kentucky game uniform and logo.

The late 90s interlocking MSU and the MSJ logo are not the same thing. What Steve was hinting at was the late 90s interlocking logo.

To me they are about the same thing. Three letters locking, like Montana State, and other schools. Hope we use Kentucky game uni.
Have to say though, the gold was always fun too.

You would be surprised that outside of a small vocal minority on message boards, nobody really cares what’s on the side of the helmet.

People will have an opinion if you ask them, “ do you like A or do you like B” but it’s not going to affect their fandom. Your not going to suddenly upgrade your seats and start donating more money to the BDC just because you like A helmet decal better the B helmet decal. I grew up and went to school with the interlocking MSU and while it does bring back memories, it’s probably my least favorite designs of the choices thrown around. I could be totally wrong, just stating my opinion.

I didn't say it will change anyone's level of fandom. But you would absolutely get a huge response if they ran out there in the interlocking MSU, and you would hear enough of a positive response that it would become permanent.

Same thing happened with the 2014 jerseys specifically made to look like the late 90s.

I get the latest trends with the cool kids is to wear something different every week. Hell, some of these schools switch so much, at first glance of some games, I don't know who is who. Memphis....I don't even know what their regular uniform or helmet decal is anymore.

Switch up all yall damn well want.....just don't lose our identity. We aren't the Pirates. Also, stop the gold EggBowl stuff. Show off our University, not the game.

On a different note, the first time I saw MSJ I thought it was a typo. But now I can see it's referring to a specific logo. Which one is it? The lRocky/early Jackie one or the late 90s one? For the record I actually like the earlier one better. I was also at the 50yl and for years was part of the Headline News Network lead in graphics.

Yes, it is time to pick a logo and stick with it - otherwise how can you create a brand (consistent one that is)?

Yeah, MSJ refers to the late 80s/early 90s logo because the S covered up the left upright on the U, making it look like a J. It's why they changed the logo to not be as bulky and connected the M and the U so you could see that left upright to make it clear it's a U. Personally, I think that criticism of the MSJ was always a little over the top; everyone knows it's a U. I'd be fine with either of those logos, or ideally a more updated version.

That just gives anyone who remembers some of those egg bowls a good vibe and sends a subliminal message for that game. Thanksgiving night at Scott Field, Egg. Dang, what more do you need.

Maybe I'm the odd one but the year we wore the gold was pretty cool. Don't want it all the time but it was good.

Santiago

11-15-2021, 07:42 PM

With the way our Air Raid is moving the ball every week, we should use the Flying M more, at least to reference our passing attack and WR's. Just too much of a perfect match.
Play the egg bowl with Flying M(or modify it), and run up the score passing.

I?m all for ditching the Banner M for a new football only logo, but the Nike era MSU ain?t it. I always thought it looked dated and cheap. The Banner M is a fine all-sports logo but doesn?t really pop on a helmet.

I'm a fan of both, but I have really grown to like the M-State more and more. The original banner M-State was bad though. The only ones I really despise are the 80's MSJ and the walking bulldog. We had that one and UGA had this mean ass Bulldog, it was really embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works. A massive amount of money went into the logos we have now.

And there are just as many who like the current logos as long for the old ones.

I remember state playing not long ago in the 1986 Uni's and most here loved it. Made me want to vomit as it brought back some horrible memories.

I would wager if fans were told we are actually replacing the Banner Mstate on the helmets, you would not have just as many wanting to keep it as those to replace it.
Massive amount of money on the university logo, yes. But that does not mean the Football helmet cannot have their own logo. Otherwise then, your comment would mean baseball as to ditch M over S because the university put so much money into Banner Mstate.

STATE is where its at and where we're headed. Leach's gear sez so.

Our baseball hats are iconic and will never go away however based on common sense and history. STATE will continue to be seen more on baseball jerseys.

This is a good summation, State I don't think will ever invest the large amount of money that the big boys do in football. Once every few years catch lightening in a bottle but not year in and year out. But we are a damn fine baseball program.

There are not nearly as many who like the banner. Almost everyone hates it actually. I’ve seen 3 different polls in the past month that all had thousands of votes and the banner M had less than 10 % of the vote on every single poll. It’s an awful logo that should never have been obtained to begin with and I’m extremely happy we are about to get away from it, oer Steve Robertson.

I've seen baseball jerseys with STATE only. Leach sporting STATE only gear. It would be a unique brand that I think would catch on quite nicely. I understand the concerns of those who don't like the idea.
