I'm with you. It's a one game deal in my opinion. Maybe use them in the Egg Bowl. We have got to get to one football look...too many gimmick uniforms.
Thus ends one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on the MSU fanbase

I'd say about half our fanbase is too self-conscious to even say Hail State to each other, and don't nearly understand how unifying that could be. Just like Hotty Toddy, Roll Tide or War Eagle. So scared of something new.
There is just no reason to go backwards. None. State is the answer, whatever it needs to be, not MSU. At least the banner MState emphasizes 'State'. And if we don't like the script, we could just use a block State. I don't care, but that's the direction we need to go.

Like I said. Goat gonna goat.
I’ll bet you $200 it’s used more than one time between now and may 15 2024.
Yeah, just got done spanking it to 1998 Victoria Secret mags. Got to let the ED drugs do their thang
The interlocking MSU is by far our best football helmet logo ever.
The cursive State is nice, but a combination of the two with MSU on the helmet and a large State in the middle of the chest might work. It doesn’t have to be cursive.
The banner M is an abomination in every form.

That may be true for football or basketball but the M over S is pretty well known. I was touring the colosseum in Rome back in 2014 wearing my baseball cap when a guy about 50 feet away yelled 'Mississippi State!'. He had on a yellow polo with a purple emblem so I went walking toward him said "LSU". He grinned and said nope. He pulled up his sleeve to reveal an Ohio State tat on his bicep. I was actually blown away that an Ohio State fan knew our baseball logo.
Good gosh.... What do you do when you go to campus and see MState everywhere .... have a stroke?
Assuming you even visit.
There’s plenty of gear to go around. I’ll stick with the baseball caps and old stuff if I have to but I really don’t think script will be the only option. I doubt these people are dumb enough to use a single word that means nothing outside of MS to be the single branding option.
Imagine just seeing “State” everywhere. On every cap, shirt, letterhead, TV graphic, building, etc. It’s silly.
State is ok but when since I don't live in Mississippi I tell people I went to Mississippi State or msu. You know there are state's in every state. Alabama state, Tennessee state, Louisiana state, penn state, Michigan state. To say state makes since when you are in Mississippi but when you are branding nationwide msu or Mississippi State or even miss state. Makes more sense with msu. Only juveniles and idiots think Miss. State is some kind of derogatory thing thing or feminine or is derived from ole miss.
The old uniforms with msu helmets and miss state on the jerseys was the best branding we ever had and idiots 17ed it up.

I agree. I think we are always going to struggle with brand recognition and out-of-staters confusing us with OM when we have a new logo every 10 - 15 years.
It looks much better than the 96 logo. Also It is a little adjustment to make the U more visible and a modern version.
We have the wrong AD. He makes decisions at the whims of fan boys. Now he has a mess introducing &tate and bringing back a dormant logo. Hopefully he hops on the hiring carousel late fall and is out of here.
Interlocking MSU on the helmet, block STATE on the front of the jersey. Appeases you, me, and most everyone else. Am I right?
I just don't care if we use script or interlocking. Doesn't make a damn to me. I'm just glad the MState/banner is dying.
I do wish our fans had the same level of passion for giving support as they do damn uniform design.

Banner MState is not dying. It's the official school logo. I don't know what has to happen to get this through the thick skulls around here.
I don't like being lied to either, but as far as lies goes this one was pretty harmless. We changed logos, and we weren't going back to the old one. The reason for it doesn't really matter.
I never understood the claim that Nike owned the rights to the logo, unless it was a copyright issue. If a Nike employee designed the logo, then Nike would own the copyright, which would explain why they supplied it to other schools after we dumped it. Maybe Selmon or Cohen could answer that as far as these unis go.
I did notice the logo is now being claimed as a trademark on the apparel, though.
He was hired for one reason - NIL. And I think that was a mistake. We need strategic planning, not just FuNdRaIsInG.
Enjoy this next academic year. I do think all the big 3 sports will be pretty good. But I foresee some dark days ahead beyond that for football and baseball.
I never heard Templeton say it. I think you're right. If that was the thought by our fans, then it was likely assumed. And everybody knows what the word "A$s U Me" means.
This one looks mushy. From a distance, it's hard to tell what it is.
Before the marketing "contracts" between suppliers and schools became such big deals AD's had a (allegedly) lot more autonomy in making decisions about what supplier to go with. It was RUMORED during that same period that some suppliers also formed very "close" relationships with some AD's while trying to influence their decisions. Again just unsubstantiated rumors and allegations BUT then I believe rumors are encouraged here.
Every time I see those "Croom unis" I want to throw up. Plainest, ugliest crap I've ever seen. I don't mind white helmets, but those things were an abomination. I remember when we went to Russell. It was an embarrassment. It's a wonder we are where we are now with the athletic department leaders we've had in the past.
The banner m looks pretty good on all the small flags and light poles on campus and on official letterhead. It’s not the best logo for a helmet/sports team.
He wanted that "BAMA" plain jane look for MSU.....them and Penn St. never change.
