I’m not the biggest uniform fashionista but..

Eh, we've been mostly wearing the white helmets. Makes even more sense this week as I assume TAMU will be wearing Maroon helmets. We have completely different jerseys than in 2014, so I don't think that really factored into the choice.
To be fair, when I think of '14, I think of winning, so disappointment abounds.
When I think of '14, I do think of disappointment. Losing to Bama, Mississippi, & getting man-handled by GA Tech to finish the season left much to be desired.
I think of driving all the way back from Miami to Austin in one hit. Those 3 games to end the season never should have rolled our that way.
Not having us in throwback jerseys and helmets is nothing but a missed opportunity.
The white helmets just don’t do it for me. I just don’t get it at all. The look generic.
Fits right in there with the "Showtime" theme. What a joke of a program we are right now. Worst marketing & branding in P4 by a long shot.
I think the white helmets looks good when they wear gray trousers.
Everything about these uniforms looks generic. Look like Croom uniforms. And playing like Croom teams.
You cannot make &tate or the white helmets look good. It's not possible.
We get Dollar General Adidas. The whole reason for leaving Nike was this same stuff.
I didn't see the Snow Bowl unis . I recall them being particularly effective against aTm when we wore them.**
I don't care how many times we wear it or how long ago it was but white helmets, maroon jerseys and maroon pants will always = Croom
We’re accommodating the Aggie maroon helmets. Weve been second fiddle to them with regard to thought and care from Addidas. So why are we still with them?
White helmets- gay
&tate- gay
&- really gay
All current football unis- generically gay.

It’s borderline trolling at this point. They have to inject our fans are begging for the interlocking logo, so naturally we just keep steering into things we know they’ll hate.
Yea. When you are inundated with all that marketing from Rutgers, Pitt, Indiana, Iowa State, Wake Forest, Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Kansas State it REALLY makes you think, you know Mississippi State IS the absolute worst! **
Good grief.
We should make a deal with A&M. Every time we play, visitors wear white head to toe, home team wears maroon head to toe.
They probably have an equivalent proportion of fans complaining about white helmets, too.
It would help if they removed that Croomesque maroon stripe that runs down the middle of the helmet. If it’s going to be white, it needs a white face mask and no strip.
In a fan of the all white. Looks clean and fast to me.
My absolute least favorite thing that we have done over the past 12 years is going out of our way to not wear maroon when we play Texas A&M at home. If there's one game a year we should go all-maroon, it should be that one. We were here first, damn it.
Yeah, they ran around the field like we weren't there.
Yeah, but there was so much more good about the season than bad. I think the ending puts a sour note on it, but most of that season was amazing.
My only comments about our unis for about 20 years now... it's so simple.
1. NO MAROON PANTS. They make any jersey/combo look like shiit. Wear gray if you just have to wear something non-white.
2. WHITE HELMETS ONLY WHEN WEARING ALL WHITE. "Iced out" is the only time those helmets can look remotely cool/drip/swag/fire/sigma/showtime/whatever they are saying these days.
So, of course, we'll violate both of those tenets this weekend. Perfect.

I think the current uniforms look good. They don’t look a thing like Croom’s because they are maroon and not Alabama crimson. Also, keep MState off our helmets. Say it out loud M State. Sounds so stupid. M State mkay. It’s like Dollar General came up with it because we couldn’t afford an extra S or any other combo. Dak and his teams made MState look good, not the other way around.
I’m sure they do but when both teams wear both maroon and white it looks like a spring game. Give us olds some contrast.
I’m not either, but maroon pants and white helmets are the two worst things we do to ourselves. And for this game they combined them. This is a disastrous uniform.
Just win games and these conversations go away. Football sucks so everything else sucks.
I disagree with this, in a long-term, general sense. You don't see many teams that succeed at super high levels that don't understand the importance of branding.
I'm sure some of you will point out the exceptions to the rule. It's small time thinking. A lot of things add up to winning and changing perception of your program and school. If anything, we are proof of that, the M-State was there during our ascension over the past 20 years. Our baseball specific branding is another piece of evidence.
State has never had any sort of stable logo ever so saying one logo is THE logo is just conversation.
