"State" is used most often by Ohio, Iowa, Mississippi, Michigan, Idaho. However, all of those are adjusted for population, meaning Michigan is going to be ahead of us and Pennsylvania too.
I’m not buying that. Nobody calls Iowa state “state”, and I never hear the Ohio state univ called “state” either. MSU gets confused at times.

Of course not. We are STATE and should brand ourselves that way. Michigan State may also be "state," (i have no idea) but our paths rarely cross. NC State and Oklahoma State are not commonly referred to as "state." Mississippi is just too long of a word and doesn't roll off the tongue.

To be fair, they wouldn't be able to see us in the uniforms. Leach would go for it for the competitive advantage.

I think we should take a cue from Jules in Pulp Fiction and use what he had on his wallet. Imagine this across the chest of our uniforms.

I think I agree with you on Ohio State (and Ohio may be dark due to Michigan State fans living in Ohio?), but I did have it in my mind that Iowa State goes by "State" up there.

I lived in Iowa for 3 years and never heard it even one time

I don't think any of this matters. The SEC knows who STATE is, Mississippi State!!!!

In my 53 years on this Earth- I've never heard us referred to as "M-State"
I do live in Louisiana and they call us State or Miss State.
I went to the beach in Gulf Shores and the day I wore a maroon shirt? People interacted with me as "**** State" or "Screw those Bulldogs"
We are STATE....we will never be MState
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

I hope you replied back that you can't **** State because your mom is too busy doing that right now. She started with the basketball team and has currently made it to the backups of the football team.

Our helmets are trash. Got to upgrade. Recruits and fans care about this.

The MState logo has been plastered everywhere except for baseball. I went to Mississippi State or just State when asked. In conversation about our school or its athletics, I have never heard anyone reference MState this or MState that. It is one of the worse logos in the SEC. Even the Flying M would say more. I have never liked the MState. What is its history and who made the decision for the change? I know a little and I don't think it was ever fan or alumni driven. Hail State, MSU, and Mississippi State University!

I have no idea who was responsible, but it was a very dumb idea so that makes sense.

Our logo sucks. Looks like a butterfly. I get that it's been marketed everywhere for awhile now, but sometimes a re-branding is needed.
Whether it be the interlocking logo, m over s, or something new, this needs to be done.
