A better representative for a MSU logo is the 1986 to 1995 MSU logo. It ran for 10 seasons and was the longest running MSU logo, that MSU has ever used.
Regarding 6, skinny MSU, represents the worst 3 years of MSU football since the 1960s. The last time MSU wore that logo, Arkansas beat State 52-6.. Skinny MSUs last 6 SEC games.....was outscored 267-57. Well, if you count the 03 egg bowl, in which Jackie wore Bama helmets instead. But the ugly thing was on the sleeves. .......and was capped off by NCAA probation.
It was on the football field for one year in 1996 and replaced at midfield by MState in 1997.
