New helmet confirmed…

I got excited for a second when they started with Foreigner. Thought we might get a video aimed at us old folks. Alas, 'twas not to be.

Very cool helmet, though.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

I like it. The old MSU sure would look better.
I have a Snow Bowl helmet in my office right now and it looks damn good.

 

[onewoof]

snow bowl vibes, should be mid 60's at kickoff

I like the movement towards "STATE". Is this the same label used sometimes on our baseball jersey's? I would kinda like going with the "M-STATE" without the "M".

I mean EZ E has been around since the '80's. How old we talking?

 

[dorndawg]

LOVE it

 

[SyonaraStanz]

That’s the best looking helmet we’ve used in recent years.

Love it!

 

[Bullldawg78]

That is my favorite baseball jersey front we wear why not go all the way and have pinstripes too?

Well, he did tell you the opening was from Foreigner and that one was in 1977 which would have been in my wheel house as well.

I had no clue who EZ E was and still can't tell you a thing about him other that what I just read in Wiki. Rap is not my thing, I don't hate it, its just not for me. I do love the helmets.

I like State as well. It has history from the fight song to grindin for my State to this is our State to Hail State.
I’m curious if any other relevant programs use State? FSU is FSU Michigan State is MSU unfortunately , not sure about Oregon State. Other SEC fans refer to us as State so I think tying that branding to us on a more national level would be a great thing.

I've always liked the script State. If it could somehow be combined with a subtle outline of the state of Mississippi, it could be our primary logo.

As a child of the 70's/80's my musical tastes run from Waylon to Whitesnake to RUN DMC to Violent Femmes but I've always had a weakness for a heavy bass note and rap used to be the only way to get that. Once you've invested more of your net worth into your car stereo than your car you have to have the Straight Otta Compton CD, or so I thought.

Agreed. I think we are unique in the "STATE" thing. Lived in Memphis and all my Memphis and UT fans called us STATE. So did my LSU friends when I lived in Nawlins. It is a regional thing though because I've been out here in Fort Worth for 18 years and never here it even with Dak's populartity, A&M to the SEC and soon to be Texas. If I were an announcer, I'd prefer saying "STATE" than all those extra syllables. If the TV announcers would start using it, maybe it would stick which I think would be a pretty cool and unique brand.

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

Normally I react with horror to any white helmet. Too many life altering scars from our white helmet use in the 1960’s. I still get nightmares. However, I really have a thing about liking or not liking helmets from all teams and I must say that this is a GREAT looking helmet and I think that it looks much better as a white helmet than it would if the colors were reversed. I can’t believe that I just said that…..

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Not my favorite but better than banner m. Would prefer msu logo again. Michigan state has taken all the branding on that it seems though. You type in msu that is all that comes up.
I would prefer non script and bold block STATE. Little easier to read. Script looks better for baseball.

NC State folks refer to themselves as State.

 

[Cantdoitsal]

I like the Scripting STATE but not white helmets. They've just always seem to appear weak to me. For those whove played and or coached, are they less visible to the opponent during day games?

 

[Cantdoitsal]

error

 

[Cantdoitsal]

double post

 

[Cantdoitsal]

NC State folks refer to themselves as State.

Hmm. Do you or have you ever lived up there? Do they have any "STATE" branding? Do others refer to them as "STATE" like us? BTW, wished we coulda got NC State, NC, VA Tech, VA instead of MO.

 

[TheDawgSaint]

I like it. Will look even better if we win in them!

 

[maroonmadman]

I like it for road uniforms. The script 'STATE' on the helmet would look good across the front of the jersey, better than the 'M-STATE' logo.

 

[knock him out john]

perfection. hope Kentucky wears their blue helmets

 

[MaxwellSmart]

NC State folks refer to themselves as State.

Even Dr Pepper knows we are State.

 

[mcdawg22]

NC State folks refer to themselves as State.

That’s a good call, forgot about them.

 

[Cantdoitsal]

Would like the "M-STATE" without the "M".

They also used the “This is our State” moniker a few years back.
Not sure if they still do or not.

 

[missouridawg]

I wonder if we will be able to purchase one of these. I have an old 2007 Croom banner M-State white helmet in the mancave and would love to upgrade that display with this one.

 

[KorbenDallas]

Damn that looks great!

 

[ckDOG]

Dig it. What's the history of the "S" being a reversed treble clef?

I dig em. Could be a lot worse

Doesnt Michigan State use "State" quite often?

 

[STATEgrad04]

Friend of mine sent me this image, so I cannot take credit for it, but I Really like this option. Just subtle enough to work.

You gotta throw in the 60's for me. I go back to the Momma's and the Papa's. I guess I am a tad bit older or at least my older siblings had some influences. I never understood the bass thumping so hard so hard you got a headache. It even made chest hurt. I tried ear plugs but it still rattled so much it gave me chest pains. I just got out and found another way home until I got my own ride.
