2016 Egg Bowl Uniform Idea

[ChillbillyRock]

If you don't follow The Flying W @MSUhistory , you should. They put out some real interesting stuff. The latest (I've seen) are some shots from 1970 Egg Bowl in Oxford. Which inspired me to do something with a real nostalgic feel (less 'Trendy' & more 'Tribute'). So this concept is for the True Dawgs Thru the Decades. And thanks again, to The Flying W.

I guess so if you like really cool jerseys.

I'd settle for simply going back to the old face masks.

I'm not one

to generally give a **** about these, mainly because I see them for what they are, but can we just not wear our regular uni?

The running back pictured, # 41 is Lewis Grubbs. He is my dentist and I was in his office today.

Cool guy - he and his wife raised a bunch of Bulldogs in his family.

I hate special unis just for the egg bowl. Makes us look stupid especially when we lose. I just wished we would wear our regular unis for this game.

Oh, I'm sure we will. We've got 3 or 4 hats, 3 or 4 jerseys, and 3 or 4 pants to choose-n-match. Not to mention, the game is in 2 days. It was just for FUN. Seeing those old photos just sparked an idea.

It' like: "Hey we're playing the rebels, we need to dress up for the occasion". You sure as hell don't see them doing anything special in the way of uniforms...same with that stupid Snow Bowl shat a couple years ago when they came in here and kicked our butts.

I think we should go ahead and put some stink on the black unis that we finally won with. ***

As long as we don't wear maroon pants or have the airbrushed Mstate logo, I'm content. The maroon pants look like dog ****.

Cool pics! Look closely

Great work on pics! Look closely in the top frame. Dude in white trench coat and arm in a cast is Archie Manning. Painful for Rebels to watch us beat them with Archie watching in street clothes. Good game for the Bulldog faithful though.

I like the white helmet with the gray facemask better than the all white.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Trench coat? That looks like a highfalutin pea coat. How apropos.

***You're right on all accounts. Rebs don't have new uni combos and they kicked our *** in the Snow Bowl uni's.***

If someone can paraphrase the Flying M logo, I would love to hear it. I'm not asking for the whole book, just an idea as to where it came from. It's always confused me.

I like how you put the double sleeve stripes on the undershirt and repeated on the stocking. Nicely done.

Flying M reference to aerospace engineering

If someone can paraphrase the Flying M logo, I would love to hear it. I'm not asking for the whole book, just an idea as to where it came from. It's always confused me.

From my understanding, the flying M was a reference to aerospace engineer graduates of State working in the space program and other related engineering fields at the time. (context late 1960s). The engineering program being a source of pride for the University then, as it is now.

It's egg bowl week so I'll have to add - not surprised a rebel would be "confused" by this. Happy Thanksgiving!

Being at MSU during that era, and also an aerospace engineering graduate, I don't think or recall that it was directed toward MSU's aero grads or the department. I think it was basically a representation of the "onward and upward" attitude that the University was attempting to present and promote. I liked it at the time.

I always like Chillbilly's uni's much better than the ones the team actually wears. State/Adidas should just let him take it over.

Looks great except the helmet logo needs to be replaced with "F@*K TSUN"
