I don’t mind the State monicker. We own it in the South. Having the baseball jersey font with the tail as our main logo is stupid and should be corrected.

I’m a big college football fan. I can go 138 for 138 on D1 football logos and go 80 percent plus on D2 and D3. No one has a worse logo for standing out in power 4. Only Western and Eastern Michigan have worse logos for recognition in D1.

I would agree that State can have a unique helmet logo and still use the MState as the university logo. I don't have a problem with that. HOWEVER...

You give an inch, they want a mile .... with state fans. I've seen state people seriously discussing taking every MState logo off the football stadium. I've seen State fans lose it over the MState logo being a tv graphic for a baseball game. When we did the throw back uniforms for the 1996 basketball team, the school purposely left off the MState logo. Which 1996 was the first year we wore the logo on a uniform. I mean..... wtf? Why do some have such a hate for the logo. It's really odd and weird but sooooo, Mississippi State fan.
Nobody can shoot themself in the foot better than Mississippi State. Not just the logo. In just about every way you could imagine.
This is what I meant earlier about the bubble. Many people in Starkville and around MS don't want to see outside of it. Just argue and change based on what the loudest want, others just go along with it, and we never have had the tough leadership needed to stand up to it, and to stay long enough to ensure it is cemented.

We're a toxic, toxic fanbase. I think the only way baseball was able to stay out of it was Ron Polk staying for so many years, and then thankfully Byrne and Cohen coming around at the right time.

The logos from 1974-2000 are all pretty much just slight variations of the same basic logo.
f you're going to consider the original banner M-State as being the same category as the modern M-State logo, then you have to consider the MSJ logo as being the same as the interlocking logo. I have never like the M-State logos on hats or shirts, and for sure not on the helmets, that me. I have always thought the interlocking logos looked better on clothes, helmet, and 50 yard line. And yes, MS on baseball always.

I absolutely hate the banner M. I won't wear or buy anything with it. I graduated in 2010, but started watching and became a fan in 1999. I associate it with Croom, Russell athletics, and Larry Templeton. I hope they erase it from history.

Our logo is unrecognizable.

My father was an above average racecar driver. He never made it big on a national level but he was plenty talented and became a local legend. It was very fun childhood. He also has a way with words and confidence that we could be a little envious of. One of his best sayings is “you don’t even need a number on the side of your car. If you win, they’ll know who you are.”

win and it won’t matter.

Banner m was ugly. &Tate is much more appealing. Interlocking and &tate will be very recognizable if we just win some 17 football games!!

This logo (1974 - 1978)


Is not the same as THIS logo (1986-1990)



I will grant you the Bellard and Sherril era logos are very similar in font, but the Bellard era logo did not interlock. The Sherril logo is like the Bellard and Felker logos had a baby.

And if you go anywhere then it's just like the "state" logo. That's why I stopped buying it. If you get out of the south I was always asked is that ... state. No it was Mississippi State.
We need something unique. I can see why auburn and Clemson have Unique names. UM saw that as well and branded a name that was unique.
Like everyone on here usually agrees on, our marketing team has historically been bad.
That said I get the different logos. It's to sell merch. Finding one that we like to make it the face, well that's a different ballgame.

They’re both diagonally cascading initials. All they did was add the U. Pretty minor change.

Walking Bully and interlocking MSU should be State’s branding for football, and I’ll fist fight anyone who says otherwise. Iconic.
This.
Get that weak skinny cursive &cript away from anything football related.

It’s such a weak logo. Just do not care for it outside of the baseball jersey(where it originated ) and the basketball jerseys.

Now that it’s being used everywhere in media and TV , it just looks dumb and out of place.

Interlocking should be used on all tv/media during football season.

1,000,000,000 % YES

I especially think it looks far superior on polos and other clothing.
Many shirt options out now have that small skinny little script and it just looks like sh*t.

Hopefully we will see the interlocking at midfield this year where it belongs and not a damn baseball logo from the 1960’s.

Adding the U is enough to change the look and feel. The Felker logo changes the font, interlocks the letters, and adds a shadow background. There are similarities, but the differences overwhelm them from a logo perspective.
