I guess that I'm the only one that think the old logo looks...old. The center portion with the "S" is too congested and I never liked the way the point of the M overlapped the S. It always looked weird to me.

There's an Adidas logo in the upper right hand corner, if it means anything. Is there a reason for assuming they're Nike?

I actually like the white ones better than the maroon. Not sure what the final one is.

I wish we could get that back but know it's not realistic. It could be like movies that were popular that have been brought back to life, considering it has been 15-16 years since it was worn? I can hear it now, hey look at states new old logo!

Does the average fan really pay attention to what the logos are? I know the message board folks do, but I'm talking about the run-of-the-mill ticket purchaser, or television watcher.

No thank you. Too reminiscent of the pre-Nike "MSJ" rather than the Interlocking MSU of the late 90's-early 00s.

The gray one doesn't look as bad for some reason. But still- It's a no for me.

Look closer. Those aren’t the Nike-owned designs. The whole font is different.

Also, Maroon Nike helmets didn’t have stripes. The white, Snow Bowl helmets had a single, narrow, maroon stripe.

The mid-80’s/pre-Sherrill helmets had the white and grey stripes with another different,l font than this one (that Sherrill also used a few years with no stripes). We own that old helmet design.

It’s just a design some dude from ED came up with,
Not official with any one brand.

I would think so, the first thing you see on TV is the helmets and jerseys.

i did these. Also using the same font State uses now. It’s not as thick n squatty liike the old MSJ & not as slender as Nike’s. This diagonal is custom done. I did this logo about 4 or 5 yrs ago.

But, I don’t believe there is anything preventing us from using these in the original post. .

Look at the Don Smith era. We own those. Eric Moulds era. We own those too.

How bout this one. The diagonal MSU is never coming back. I used to wish it would, but this one looks pretty damn good too.

I am really curious what Nike actually owns, and how different we would need to be to avoid Nike's rights. But I don't think our ADept. is interested in pursuing it.

Don’t think Adidas could get sued, whatever intellectual property exists belongs to the university.

Love how everyone gets all worried about Nike suing us over a twenty year old logo they don't even remember they have. Only way Nike would ever sue us is if we start wearing the swoosh and make ads saying "just do it". Outside of that Nike doesn't give one single flying 17 what we do with anything.

One of the worst helmets ever. Should’ve never been worn just like the shoulder stripes.

All Nike owns is the specific MSU helmet we wore from 1995-2003. As of a few years ago, we still had the trademark for at least the logo we wore during the Felker years, and almost certainly for all the other variations as well. But you're right, the Athletic Dept. has zero interest in pursuing it. We didn't change to M-State because of any issue with rights to the old MSU logos. We would have made that change even if we had stayed with Nike. We simply made the decision to change our brand from MSU to M-State across the board, except for baseball.

I'm not really a fan of the old logo. I've got some great memories from the JS era wearing those but still prefer the current logo.

p.s. I hated the 'new' logo when it had the frilly banner, like the newest one.

I know I'm an outlier, but I prefer the John Bond era uniforms to any we've worn. (Without the TAMU stripes that were added at the end of the Emory era)

Without knowing what the contract said and what Nike's intentions were/are with that logo, it is really hard to say whether this would cause an issue. I am pretty sure, though, that if MSU wanted to start using that logo again then something could be worked out with Nike. The point is that our Athletic department has moved on and isn't currently interested in going back to that logo.

Man these bad boys are sweet, I wish we could buy the rights from Nike or whatever the deal is and wear these. Would never need to change helmet logos again.

Rule 1. Stripes on the helmet suck *** (white helmet remind you of Croom? Stripes on the helmet remind me of Tech and 10).....I win.
Rule 2. The gray pants are much better than maroon pants
