I hope to god we never use those helmet stickers or that nickname for them. I hate the updated bulldog head logo.

Different strokes for different folks. You've done some good work in the past, I just hate the Humpin' Bully.

Actually I hate the current bulldog head logo as well (looks like a talented 7th grader drew it). However, thats not exactly the silhouette of current one. mostly, yes. but I ALWAYS tweak it to my likings.

-and the humpin' bully is in fact the worst.

I just got a new cowbell and would really like to put that on it. Can you DM me the image file?

In reference to the matte helmets and gray face masks that we are wearing this weekend, I’m a big fan. Curious what the uni combo is to go with it. Maroon jersey with gray pants seems most likely, but I guess it’s possible that we debut a new gray jersey? I have no inside info, just speculating. Love the helmets, though.

I didnt think about possible debut of gray jersey! Good thinking. Hope they look like this

Whether or not you like helmet stickers in general, what do y’all think about the shape of the ones we’re using? Usually helmet stickers are round (think buckeye) or symmetrical and small (think dog bones).

These relatively large, asymmetrical bulldog silhouettes are gonna look really 17n stupid when the helmets are covered with them by the end of the season. I think the new bulldog head logo would have been a better choice, even if you’re not a fan of that particular logo. What say the fashion-conscious pack?

Not a fan of helmet stickers unless you have a no decal helmet like Ohio State, Penn State, or Syracuse.

However, I love the maroon helmet with gray facemask. Looks good.

i think our version of the skull and crossbones is a good idea, just needs better execution. i could actually see a cleaned up version (read better bulldog head/skull) as a pretty decent looking main helmet decal. it has symmetry and size that would look good on a helmet.

also, what if we had a simple bulldog silhouette minus the pointy tail for a main helmet decal? keep it simple




make it white with silver outline and i think that is worth a mock-up for a maroon helmet.

The one thing that disappointed me the most Saturday were the white helmets. No white helmet should ever be on an MSU football uniform.

i would say that i mostly agree.....however, the all whites on the road are the only exception i would make. the all white looks good imo. otherwise, i hate, HATE white helmets with maroon....its taken me a lot of courage to even type this.

If you think this looks like the dog is humping the M then we might need to revisit the birds and the bees.

I was thinking about that, too. The stickers are relatively large, and they giving them out rather generously. If everyone is going to get one sticker for each win, and two for road wins (which is what I think JoMo said in his press conf.), then that is already 15 or 16 stickers per player. Then you toss in the statistical rewards and the subjective ones, some helmets are gong to be pretty full.

I don't mind the solid white uniforms. The white helmets are better with the white facemask and no stripe. If we put a stripe, a maroon facemask, and a maroon jersey with the white helmet, I think all of our Croom error PTSD will kick in.

Don’t be shocked if we wear the white helmets with maroon jerseys at some point this year. Possibly the Florida game since it is a White Out. Although ironically, as much as that would be hated on, it was what we were wearing the last time we beat Florida at home.

2 things we should NEVER do: 1. maroon pants 2. White helmets with maroon jerseys.

I would ban the white helmet permanently, but it's not as bad as the above 2 items.

Too many bad memories.

I think I'm going to puke. Trying to emulate TAMU? Looks like a cheap copycat at best, and no better than those insanely AWFUL white helmets!!

Agree on both. Maroon pants are horrible. I like the white helmets when we go all white. When we wear it at home we don't even look like Mississippi State

I wouldn't mind if our white pants were our ONLY britches (worn with everything). However, if we do wear maroon pants, it MUST be the ones we wore against Bama last year (solid maroon; no stripes).
