Haven’t you stated numerous times that our success in sports is kind of outstanding considering the demographics of both our fanbase and Starkville in relation to the rest of the SEC?
Did you not see me to just make mention to our success in the 2010s? Basically talking about the Byrne/Mullen/Cohen era all the way through Cohen's departure and Leach's death. That is why I am wondering why everyone wanted to pivot from what worked.
That's because we have TOO damn many logos to choose from to ***** about

For those of us a little.... *ahem*...."longer in the tooth," it is associated with 90's basketball and a Final Four.
That graphic designer (hired during the Fogelsong "watch") also did not have the most stellar portfolio of university clients when hired. In fact, their work was primarily for what we now know as G5 and Div 1-AA institutions. Hardly a resume that would be for an SEC school.Thanks for pointing that out, now I will never unsee it. Of course I had to find out why it is off center. Here is the explanation.
Why is the A in the Mississippi State logo off center?
The graphic designer, ultimately, chose to anchor the center to the five letters of 'STATE' rather than to the center letter 'A. '
For the most part, I agree with you. MSU's problem in this area (as well as others) has been essentially distilled to 2 categories:
1) Not changing with the current times (and falling behind the times); and
2) Changing when change is unnecessary.
"Goat?" Really? C'mon, man. That's like the equivalent of the winner of the "Tallest Building Contest" in Noxapater
The script State logo 1. Feels like a ole miss logo and 2. Is generic as hell. I’m not interested in wearing anything with that on it.
I totally misread @mcdawg22’s comment. I thought he was anti-banner. No wonder he thought I was stupid, guess I am……a mid level metal shack in Sebastopol
I refuse, because it’s the symbol associated with going back to mediocrity and comparing ourselves with Ole Miss
To be fair, I don’t see other schools making such awful logo changes like we do either.
I see multiple mentions of merch in this post. The biggest issue in all logo discussions is the absolute horrible coordination between what our teams wear and the availability of the merch. I can think of multiple shirts, hoodies and hats that where worn by players and coaches and were absolutely not available to buy for months or years later. The block STATE the pirate wore. The, what is now called the 85 baseball jersey, Mississippi State black hoodie the team wore a few years back. That one took a year for me to find.
The NFL coordinates when their teams wear a certain design or style sideline gear, it is available for purchase right then. They move on to something else each month or so and then that is what you see in the NFL shop. I mean it should be like insider trading. They know what they are going to splash out over the airwaves and they should be ready to ride the wave.

The block STATE looks better in football and men’s basketball, way more than the script &tate. Probably because it’s more masculine and has a stronger look to it, and both of those sports are physical combative sports. The script &tate looks more feminine and weaker. Baseball it’s fine and women’s sports, if we had to have it at all. The script &tate is the worst on the football helmet, especially with that reverse treble clef S. Feminine and weakness is not what we need on our football helmets. Not to mention we are literally copying ole miss. Even for the few loud message board folks who like that on the helmet, do y’all not even care that we are literally copying ole miss?
Agree with all you wrote. I'm making fun of the people that make the dumb argument that the "a is off center".
The word is what is centered. But they know that. They want their clef tate.
You should wear the M. That way everyone knows the only taste you have is the pecker of Larry Templeton in your mouth. The M lovers also love these:
