    Beating the dead horse: New unis are "alternate" so what are the standard next year?

    Are the Maxi pad helmet and douche shoulder stripe here to stay? I assume this question was asked in some form or fashion at the revealing, but have not seen an answer as of yet.

    Incorrect. I asked that on Twitter and Bill Martin confirmed. It's also in one of the press releases from today somewhere

    That baseball Jersey is for Saturday's game only also

    And hate email. One from me for sure. I would've been a massive dick when Adidas revealed the same ****ing uniforms for us as A&M. And then the trifecta of Maxi Pads were added for diversity. I have a feeling Scott said: "oh golly those are SHARP, definitely don't need a second opinion from someone younger and less wonky than me."

    Oh no doubt there will be new uniforms. I would expect them revealed closer to the fall.
    Adidas did note they are looking to further distinguish the two schools now that we are in the same division. Yea Yea what took them so long I know

    It's quite obvious that the same "design team" created both ours and A&M's uniforms last year. I guess what pisses me off so much is that:

    1. They were lazy as shit about their work
    2. Obviously ignorant to the fact that we were in the same division as A&M (I have no idea how people who work for a sports apparel company don't know that shit)
    3. Put out a mediocre product (at best)

    If I made a similar public spectacle about my laziness, ignorance, and general lack of skill at my profession I would be fired.

    I don't know why Uniform stuff don't really bother me either way.. I am usually a complainer but the uniform debate just doesn't matter to me.

    I don't get the hate for the legal banner.

    Scott had a great point that no other school writes "Mississippi" on their uniform. We are doing so to further our brand and our ownership of our state.

    For the billionth time it's not the responsibility of Adidas to make sure we are separating ourselves from aTm. That falls on MSU!! The same Ath Dept that's so devoted to "establishing our brand" with the MState logo can't take 5 minutes out of any day in the last two years and ORDER DIFFERENT UNIFORMS. Not Adidas. MSU.

    Good grief that scares me. If so I hope it's A&M that's gotta go with a different look. We've been "the maroon SEC team " (as a charter member) for 8 decades. Please don't have us out there in silver helmets and pants with our maroon jerseys with christmas ribbon for sleeve stripes.

    My only problem with Adidas' maxi pad design was they tried to pass it off to fans as "traditional jerseys" and nothing about MSU's tradition says stripe except for 2 times during our history when it was REALLY hard to be a fan.

    A 10 second google search reveals that we did in fact wear stripes on our helmets at some point. A separate 10 second google search reveals we wre especially bad, even by MSU standards, when wearing them.

    I would have been more okay with them had they been like "this is something new we're trying out" but they didn't... And I've never been able to get that out of my head since.

    But we're talking about a European company based locally in the northwest who really has no other business relatively close to Starkville, MS, and we've never really dealt with them ever in anything other than basketball. I'm willing to give them a pass for transgressions made out of ingnorance in the infancy of our relationship. Especially when it comes to the SEC adding their other similar school unexpectedly. They apparently had our shitty ass uniforms (which would be less shitty if not for A&M) in the works for 18-24 months leading up to the unveiling. No surprise that it's been 18-24 months since we've found out A&M is joining our conference that we get new uni's.
