STATE on the football uniform/jersey
this is what I was trying to create the past week, but hell as a graphic designer, i'll admit this is even better. We should do this immediately. Even if we don't have Air Nike, replace the Air Jordan logo with the Adidas logo and it's still great.

'STATE' is infinitely better on both basketball and football uniforms than the banner logo. That one is straight garbage on athletic uniforms, and it doesn't help for branding since nobody can read it anyway. Also, on a football uniform, if you need them to zoom in on the chest logo to identify the team, you don't know enough to matter anyway.

You can't make out the current logo on the maroon helmet because the logo is to small and the same color as the helmet.
As for the helmet, State should design a helmet similar to Wisconsin and Tennessee. White helmet, big power maroon MState and maroon center stripe and maroon facemask. The logo would pop and a white helmet would differentiate from Texas A&M.

You're right. The only helmet that looks good with the current logo is the white helmet (not a fan vs. maroon, unless we're in the stormtrooper look) b/c it helps the logo stand out. If we added a silver border to the edges, it would look even better.

It looks good, but MSU fans needs to realize that NC State & Michigan State also call themselves State. So putting State on our jerseys & helmet isn't really a brand.
It's one reason I'm in favor of the M over S so much because that is our brand. That is uniquely MSU & known as Mississippi State. State on a jersey or helmet is somewhat generic & an ignorant belief that people are going to know who that is.

Michigan State put the script "State" on their helmets in game one.

All of them can go 17 themselves. I've had a 24-7 Hard On for STATE so long a certain part of my anatomy is turning blue. This thread makes me happy. Hopefully not too happy though, might get messy.

Agree about Michigan State and Iowa State beating us this year to the "STATE" on unis. It does show that even Iowa State is trying to move away from the "Banner I-State". I don't see how our admin is so adamant on using it on our helmets. I actually wish we could put the Flying M logo somewhere on the unis, large or small, and then use STATE as well.

M over S is our brand, it's a matter of opinion on looks but I agree with shotgun that we need a brand logo that sets us apart. I don't think you can accomplish that with just STATE when it could apply to probably a school in almost every state.

Because there are much better options out there than the MState that is used. The MState may be unique, but it is uniquely Fugly as well.

The Banner Mstate is a copy logo that other schools use. We actually took the idea from Marshall. How exactly does Banner Mstate set us apart. Not asking in a rude way, but just curious how people view it as a great logo that is setting us apart from the other schools that use the similar logo.

State fans that hate the current logos can twist their arguement any way they want to fit the narrative. This topic has been discussed over and over and over. It's just interesting so many fans of a school, hate said schools logo.
Many schools use a power (insert initial) logo on a helmet. Wisconsin, Tennessee, Washington etc. The power M incorporates (Mississippi) the banner STATE incorporates our nickname, State.

Are you talking about this beautiful and unique logo?

This is the best Logo for the Air Raid!
If anything, wish it was a little larger M on the helmet

Agree on STATE is just every regional team out there. "HAIL STATE" is a great branding to use. SEC network sometimes uses that reference to us already.
Seems we mostly all agree that Banner Mstate is not that great, and we need a version of STATE in the uni's. I still like Hail State, or add the Flying M somewhere subtle on them with our Air Raid offense.

I always like the MSU interlocking for football from back in the 80s-90s. Didn't like the Mstate at first but it has grown on me.

I hated the original MState, but I do like the updated one. I also like STATE on the front of the jersey. But then again I also don't mind the gold accents for the egg bowl or white helmets... I did loathe the Don Smith uni's from the 80's though. All those 17'n stripes everywhere.
