Mississippi State Road Uni Leak

[amacomo]

Someone snuck in and took pictures of the new Mississippi State uni's. I kind of like them, although they are way more modern than State's ever had in the past. They do beat the heck of the crap they've had the past 5 years.

Hooray. Templated mess!

[logoman]

I like that they added the silver (grey) back to the uniforms.It should look pretty sharp on the dark jersey.

[Red Wolf]

Can't really tell for sure, but I think I like that wordmark

It's definitely a change...but I'm digging the change. At first I was scared off by Drew's description, and there is piping...but it's good piping.

It'll look better once the official relase come out. So far, I'm liking what I see. They won't look boring, but they won't look a damn mess.

so are there two helmets or just one maroon one?

Rooting for a school whose colors are crimson and gray, I'm getting pretty sick of teams that wear shades of red randomly adding gray, and thus ripping off our color scheme, even though gray isn't one of their official colors.

Texas A&M, Mississippi State, Western Kentucky, etc.

All they did was get the same away template all the adidas teams got last year. Horrible

Okay, please go away and come back when your school is actually relevant. How do you know that they are just randomly adding gray, do you know if they've had grey/silver in the past? If they have, then it's not randomly adding gray. I'm getting sick of people who are fans of teams that are scarlet and gray and haven't done anything worth mentioning and their complaining.

Just one. The white helmets are gone.

Yep, so now the SEC West has two teams with almost identical uniforms, unless Arkansas completely ditches the colored-in tooth stripe and goes with the colored-in side panel.

For some reason I expected to open this thread and see a Mississippi State player taking a piss. I blame the "pp" in "Mississippi."

While gray or silver is not an official color, it has long been used off and on in past uniforms for Mississippi State sports. I would hardly call it "randomly adding gray, and thus ripping off our color scheme."

[jimsimo]

oh boy, more templated piping and cheesy stripes.

[BigDmo]

Isn't that the Arkansas and Michigan template?

Wow - what well thought our responses. Great arguments, all.

At least statebully actually made a point, which is that MSU has used gray in the past, which therefore isn't "random". And you're right about that - bad choice of words on my part.

Still - a shade of red plus gray is pretty much unique to tOSU and WSU. Adding gray when it is an unofficial color is just as bad as adding black, IMO. Only people don't go as crazy about it because black is the more over-used color. And as a fan of a school with that color scheme I just think that other schools jumping at the opportunity to use it are, in a sense, ripping us off. That's all. Just my opinion.

I mentioned it was nice to see them add silver or grey back into the color scheme because in the late 70's / early 80's they used silver. When Bruce Threadgill was the QB, they had silver pants and silver outlines on the numbers and silver stripes flanking the white stripe on the helmet. It was a nice look to me. If I recall correctly, WSU uses Crimson?Cardinal?Burgundy? and Grey. MSU uses Maroon. They are both shades of red but maroon is much darker. I think it's ridiculous to make any comparison between the two universities' choice of colors based on what amounts to a non-issue.
