Was hoping for flying m.
Was hoping for the black uni's again.
I think we need to show our identity in the bowl games and I like the Maroon for that .... The black uni's and flying M are kinda cool but it's not our identity
Yeah, they have managed to screw up college football by creating a huge gap b/t the blue bloods and non blue bloods. It seems like college baseball has had a lot of wind at it’s back the last few years but a conference only schedule could endanger some of the smaller programs which could have long term consequences. They need to be propping up these smaller schools, especially when it comes to baseball.
That gray stripe is so hideous
A 52 game SEC schedule is going to be very taxing on SEC pitching staffs but our staff is deep and should be one of the better ones in the league so we should be o.k.
I suppose so. It's actually not that much different than say we go to Baton Rouge for a weekend series and then stay in Biloxi Tuesday night before to play South Alabama or going to Oxford for the weekend series and playing Memphis on a Tuesday before that series. That probably happens at least 2-3 times a year for the baseball team- conservatively. I imagine there will be a lot of online classes too.
Was Eagan the guy that passed out in the dugout a couple of years ago?
Yes, it was during the regional or SR........
I agree with you! Gray and white are too much the same color. Either have two white stripes with maroon in the middle or do what BYU does and use three stripes that have a variance in the middle stripe width. Looks cool to me....

Looks great to me
White or Maroon trousers?
I don't hate the MState logo. I wish we'd stick with maroon & white (the gray stripe is OK, as are the silver pants) - but I'll admit the black uniforms we had for our last game looked pretty good (much better than any of our alternate uniforms have looked since we started using them, IMO).
The black unis admittedly looked awesome. You can bring those out every blue moon but not something with regularity
I'm thinking Sun Belt and CUSA and SWAC. I'm sure the Northern small schools may have difficulties in Southern Swings for a month. Like Sacred Heart from Connecticut or Holy Cross from Massachusetts.
So, I'm talking Memphis, UAB, Alcorn, South Alabama, Jackson State, Southern Miss, Tulane, LA Monroe, etc.
Plus, these games are valuable for the pitching staff. You can afford to ease-in a Freshman that might get tagged a bit. Heck we lost to Texas Southern with KC Hunt getting shelled, but I bet it was valuable to KC Hunt.
Pie in the sky thinking - with huge rosters - you can almost create two bubbles - with bubble switch protocol. The Midweek team and the SEC Weekend Team. To the connoisseurs, those Midweek games would be bad-ass and valuable to the younger kids. They get to play and be the stars. English soccer teams are doing this with their U-23 teams, separate bubbles
For me at least, the fact that we literally copied the graphic from Marshall ( I heard we even asked their SID for information on the graphic) and made the Mstate logo is a big reason to hate it. Then the university forcing the copied logo onto everything. Just a sign of laziness to copy from another school and then mass market it as your own. Every time I see the Mstate it reminds me of a reflection of laziness and lack of creativity at the time. Thank goodness Polk or whoever on the baseball side of things balked at allowing it on the baseball uniforms, even though there was a season or so where the university tried it.
The Flying M at least derived from the academic side of the university and has history and meaning. Allows the conversation of the logo to involve MSU academics and involvement in the space program.
The Flying M is unique as a logo, whereas the Mstate is a graphic type seen by a few other schools also. Iowa State, Marshall come to mind quickly.
Marshall Track, not the Thundering Herd .
The idea came from it.
But it does lead into a good question of how did several universities start using the same clip art type graphic. Not that I researched all of them, but odd that others also have it as well.
It just is not very unique.
The last Saturday of games, Iowa State with their Banner Istate and black uniforms looked similar to our black uniforms being worn on same day. Just a couple of state schools wearing black and with the same Banner State over their letter.
That is my soap box I guess for logos, ha, so I appreciate the conversation about it actually.
Flying M seem to me more unique.
