Is the cursive script &tate on the helmets copying Ole Miss? If so, do you care?

Funny. That’s another thing, I’ve wondered how many recruits, without knowing or being told, on a sheet of paper could even read what the new helmet logo says, especially with the capital cursive &. Kids today don’t use, or are taught cursive much at all anymore.
Not sure if it’s copying them or not. I don’t think it is. Either way, I hate the script look. Take your pick and I’m most likely to like any of them over the script option.
It’s incredible how questioning the state script gets people riled up.
Why did you use the name slaves had for their owner's wife as the name of your school?
Definitely copying Ole Miss--who also invented pre-game picnics, cheering, and the forward pass.
I like the State script more than the banner. But it’s also impossible to argue that it’s not a generic logo
The banner M is hideous. I agree the script is a little generic but it looks good. We should’ve gone all in on the Script in 2016-17 before everyone started going for Script designs
We’ve already gone all in - on the banner M. It was done, and it’s nationally recognizable.
But, Moo U gonna Moo U
First off, go to hell. Second, you're a giant failure in life and everyone would be uch happier if you ate all the **** out of your own ***. Third, the State script logo dates back about 50 years. Finally, go to hell again. Trolls are supposed to be clever. Do better.
What is this "football national titles" of which you speak? Is..is..that *Heaven?****************
You better find another board. We are not allowed to have nice things here.**********
I realize you folks think you invented everything, but this is a State message board for State Fans, not for Mississippi fans.
By some way, you mistakenly found your way in here. Feel free to find another message board where you are not a good excuse to try the ignore feature.
Ole Mis started using the cursive Ole Miss along side the confederate colonel in 1970. They moved to just the cursive Ole Miss in 2002 to be politically correct. Since we had the cursive State back in 1960 it was they that copied us. Funny how they want to rewrite history.
We are talking about football use, and even more specifically on the football helmet.
it is not copying ole miss.....but it does bother me because its so 17'in awful...
There aren’t any ole miss fans claiming to have originated the script, just some MSU fans worried for some reason that they may be seen as copying it. As they say, there is no thought that is original.
Script State looks like something you’d see on a fake cutting board in a Mendenhall homemaker’s kitchen next to the “Let’s eat ya’ll” sign.
Clearly, as it's a well-known fact that Ole Miss invented cursive
It's a metaphor, or a symbol, whatever......of the overarching collective thought process.
Jokes on Ole Miss... we actually stole it from Florida. It was a final 17 you to Stricklin:
To be fair, you guys won more Bill and Bob's Regional Football Pamphlet National Championships back when your mascot was an old white slaveowner.
Was it nationally recognizable though? Here in the DFW area, when I've worn something with the banner M (which is rare), I've had quite a few ask me what the logo was and one person tell me about how they have a cousin that went to Missouri State.
I don't know that I love the State script, but I like it a helluva lot better than the banner M. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. It's not going to make or break the university or the athletic department.
Same moot point again that dodges my questions. I get it though, this same non answer lets me know. Thank you.
Eight of the states have names which start with the letter “M.” Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Missouri, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Minnesota, and Maine. Any of those could be "M State" not to mention Morgan State, Minnesota St Mankato, Metropolitan St (MN), Mississippi Valley St, Missouri St, Missouri Western St, Montclair St, Mayville St, Minot St, Midwestern St, Metropolitan St (Denver), Moorehead St (KY), Murray St, McNeese St. It's just a dumb logo w/ no identity.......
What if….hear me out….we just put a picture of Will Rogers on the side of our helmets?
No identity huh. So how many schools around the country have “state” in their name? I’d bet more than eight.
