Same. This is without a doubt our worst look. I cannot believe we would go back after how good the unis looked last week.

I'm glad we are going back to the Script State helmet this week. Much better look and better for branding by far.
The interlocking MSU will be our primary logo by 2027 at the latest. It was always going to be a matter of time once the fanbase knew it was possible before they demanded it back permanently, and they will.
The blame on Nike for not being able to use it never made sense, and now we know it was BS. So they have opened that can and it will not close. I would not be surprised if we make the move this off-season.
I would love to see it, but I fear that our Ath Dept has their heads so far in the unmentionable that it'll never happen. We have no marketing when we change uniforms weekly and also color combinations, truly moronic. These folks know nothing about building a brand or customer loyalty, proof that we are an Ag and Eng school.
Smootness is right. The problem is Robbie Faulk and his minions were so vocal about wearing State script that we basically had to wear that for a little while once they got their way. The next year they changed their tune to interlocking less than a year later. Logo changes are expensive.
Yea the group of posters who were on GP at the time, now On3, all were pushing HARD for that script state and then the minute they won they wanted the interlocking. The thing is, the interlocking was available the whole time and they knew it was available. Rosebowl told everyone it was available in 2021 and they didn't start pushing for the Script until 2022.
Say what you want...but I have a pic of Dave Marler rolling out in his senior Egg Bowl.....That MS maroon helmet and those uni’s were the BEST EVER........interlocking no....spaceship no.....simplistic artistic beauty......Please go that design....
Even though Robbie claims that "no one knew".
For some reason and I don't remember everything I post but I remember this- I told them if we go to State script but get the interlocking back they're going to want that so why not wait?
And I do remember Rosebowl bringing that to light too.
I generally don't like white helmets, but with the interlocking MSU against TN, there it was for the world to see, MSU, Mississippi State University. When asked since 1977, where I graduated from college, I have always replied State or Mississippi State, never "MState. I have the Bulldog Club script State tag on the front of my Equinox, but the leading "S" looks like a musical note or symbol. An interlocking MSU decal has returned to the rear hatch glass of the vehicle. We have more choices to represent MSU than any university I know. Maybe it makes for more sales to our fractured fanbase, but doesn't do much for national identity. JMO, but M over S for baseball and nationally known, Interlocking for football, MState for MBB and choose from any of them including scrip for all other sports. Hail State!
I was pretty much over the interlocking MSU but admit they looked pretty good. I wouldn’t have a problem going all in or at least mix it up during the season. I hated the white helmets for a long time but don’t mind mixing it up as well. I would prefer maroon most of the time tho. Next time I have dinner with Keenum I’ll make that suggestion. Ha.
5.5/7
I am giving myself half a win on this week. White interlock again, really wanted maroon interlock, white, gray and figured we wouldnt go white interlock 3 games in a row.
Regardless super glad we listened and have a classic uni matchup in the swamp, now lets get the quote on quote upset
6.5/9, even I did not see it coming this much this early. Gray pants are a great touch too.
Looks like we are rolling with it permanently as white interlock is back this weekend. Great news for the program
Going forward wear M/M/G 4 times a year, M/W/G 2 times, M/M/W 2 times, M/M/M 1 time, W/W/W 1 time, W/W/G 1 time, M/W/M 1 time always interlock (throw in some alternates or throwbacks if you want)
Ask and you will receive/

Giving myself another half point. White interlock/Maroon/White this weekend. Never been a huge fan of W/M/W but just looked back at Croom and Moorehead era W/M/W and the difference with the interlock replacing the banner is incredible. This might be a sneaky favorite combo of mine now.
I like the logo but how do I know which MSU we are??? Oh that was a stupid ass argument? Yep.
But I thought Nike owned it? You mean that was a stupid ass lie? Yep.
But, but... branding? You mean branding to your own fans matters more than some random fan in Idaho? Yep.
Kudos to Selmon for making the move and listening to the fans. The interlocking logo IS Mississippi State football and the majority of fans that care about such things believe that. We've got our logo back.
What are the unis this Saturday??
Surprised we're not wearing maroon helmets against Georgia.
While I dont like white helmets ever, alot of the players apparently prefer the white interlocking helmet. I'm just glad the correct logo is back on the damn helmets
Starting to like the White interlocking more.
Now that we got the branding right, we can ACTUALLY play the game.
