Camo jerseys are terrible, even on Military Appreciation days. That said, it's the best one I've seen since the trend started. Mossy Oak influence?

Only if you are an arrogant, overweight, obnoxious Big 10 fan/hunter. Please stop it Adidas, just say no MSU

I assume the flag indicates

military appreciation day. I'm begrudgingly OK with it in this case.

Now you now I back MO and the gear. I just can't back it on our baseball unis. I'm a purist with our baseball uniforms. What would've been cool is if Adidas had partnered with MO to create some hunting clothes similar to under armour.

FWIW, Adidas Outdoor is making a push to get into the hunting vertical. They have some "technical" gear that is mostly considered "mountain wear". They do have some great hiking boots. Thier clothing line is OK. It's better than UA, but most stuff is. They are a client of mine. I'll update when I can.

I don't wear a lot of camo, but let's face it, this is the South and most people do. These are probably the best alt unis I've seen in a while. It's well done and I bet they sell a ton.

Wes R. Tweeted his disappointment that they came out after he left. Apparently he liked them.
I haven't got a problem with them.

Slight hijack: Has our military ever worn camouflage like this? I don't think we've fought in the deep woods since the Battle of The Bulge & that was winter. Maybe some in Korea?

They have zero understanding of contrast, especially how to maximize it. Other schools have naturally gone with Complimentary Colors to stand out / draw attention---Yellow & Violet (LSU), Red & Green (MS Valley), Blue & Orange (Auburn and Florida).

But for MSU, Adidas seems to design everything from the viewpoint of 1 ft. away---you have to design uniforms from the viewers perspective (where fans will be sitting in the stands viewing) like from over 50 ft. away. Think of it like a street sign, no one on God's green Earth could read Maroon text with a White stroke on a dark Camo background.

I think that's a bit of an overstatement. I rarely see it, and when I do they appear to actually be going hunting.

With the maroon color, it'd have to be in the fall .... and in a hardwood forest.

+1 Keyser ( you get it)
--Hopefully, its a "shout out" to our neighbors in West Point & hopefully, we're the first to use actual Mossy Oak® Camo in Uni-form. If thats the case, its real cool (minus the contrasting numbers of course).

Recurring patterns like this are easy to detect. The randomized military pattern may not look like a tree when you stand right next to it, but it's actually superior (at least for what they do.)

If it is for a salute to the Military we could have gone with the digital desert camouflage that our troops are using in Iraq and Afghanistan---Maroon on would show up well on that pattern. If it is Mossy Oak Breakup pattern which it appears to be, then I hope we got some $ from them (and hopefully permission from them to use their pattern).

I supposed you were a fan of the "traditional" Croom M-State logo on white football helmets too huh? Or does your "tradition" go back to the "Flying M"? You people need to get the 17 over yourself and realize that times change and we have to adapt. Should we choose to be bottom feeders and let every other school in the SEC run off and leave us for the sake of "tradition"? That is absolutely absurd! Oh and that "euro influenced uni supplier" got us a basketball coach that had a top 10 recruiting class before he ever coach a 17'n game!. You sir (or possibly, ma'am) can go 17 yourself.

Nope, not a fan of the "M-State" logo, I hate the white helmets, gold helmets, gold shoes, gold trimmed numbers on the jerseys, the ridiculous looking checkerboard cleats etc.

Funny, I just read a post where you said you would "definitely buy" a shirt with the old Bully walking upright holding an MSU penant. You are embracing "tradition" but, not embracing it? "Times change, we have to adapt" to quote you......

If there is ever a tradition we have, its our baseball uniforms, "maron**and white", M over S logo on hat. Its an old argument but what do you think of when you think of Alabama football uniform, USC uniform, LSU white home jersey. With that in mind, what do you think of when you see a camo MSU baseball jersey w/ dark numbers you can't read? I think of corporate sell out ********. I don't think of a recruit choosing his future school because of some ******** shirt

You were referring to a current uniform. Liking a shirt with the old logo on it don't mean that I want our uniforms today to have that on it. I liked it because…….well I simply liked the shirt. I hope based on your terrible attempt at an intelligent response that you are either drunk or stupid.
