I agree. That's one tweak I would make.Quote:

We just created what was called the hottest new helmet in college football. Our fans bought all the shit and loved it. So, State fans want to now go back to a 25 year old logo. Really makes no sense. But that's our fans for you. It's a throwback uniform.
THIS!!Quote:

So a logo can't be older than 25 years old?Quote:

Oh wait...
The interlocking being older isn't an issue. Switching to the banner in 2004 was.
Where all did you guys buy from today? I just hit up the bookstore. Any other good spots for some solid gets?
The Lodge had some good stuff. Maroon and Co too.Quote:

Bama wears what they have for decades because of a winning tradition in those uniforms and logos. Including national championships. Mississippi State wore the Nike MSU for 8 years and went to 3 bowl games, won 45 and lost 47. The program was spiraling down the bowl in 2003 when skinny MSU left the building.
After Byrne officially branded Mississippi State football under MState, football won more, went to more bowls, reached new heights. On and on....
You can't be serious. Logos don't play games, teams do. It doesn't matter what is on the helmet but what is in the helmet.Quote:

I didn't like the MState logo when we got it but had to learn to wear it. But I will say we made that style popular and a lot of other small schools started doing it after us. MSU needs to be IT like M over S in baseball.
The conversation wasn't about what wins games. For the record, I agree... it's players. But we were talking about building traditions like Bama. Winning builds traditions. Things like uniforms and logos catch on. Yada yada.
Yeah back then, 97-00 seemed like a mountain top. It was fun times. But then 01-03 happened. However then Mullen came along and built our program beyond what happened in 97-00. But anyways, I could write a book about all the different eras of State football. The Mullen era is the peak so far.
But here is the truth of all this... Bama wins so much and therefore has a huge fan base. They can keep the same uniform every year and still sell millions in merchandise. States fan base is small relatively speaking and the athletic department has do these marketing tricks "vault collection" to sell enough merchandise to satisfy adidas.
The side effects of that marketing is you get people all riled up and State fans start wanting this and that. &ome want &tate, some want the baseball logo, some want the 96 logo. Some want the 86 logo. I learned early on in coaching. You can ask parents what time is convenient for them to practice. You can ask players for opinions. When you do, you get a million different answers and no organization and everyone on a different page.
oh I don't like the MState either cuz........ Just never cared for the other... but I think its a good way to throwback to the past just wouldn't want it to be our every Sat uni is all. And yes I'm way younger than you....lolQuote:

I know things have gone up, but I'm not paying $40 plus shipping for a T-shirt. I'm too cheap for that.Quote:

Also found a small hardback book about the JWS years at State for $5. Hail JWS! Hail State!Quote:
