How long has the baseball M-S logo been around?

I don’t know, but it irritates me that the MS on the baseball hats doesn’t match the MS on the batting helmets. The best version of the logo in my opinion is when the point of the M touches the 3rd horizontal line of the S. It doesn’t do that on the fielding hats. The M over S is my favorite and most classic state logo.
1968. Has been worn every year since except for 1976, for some reason.

For what its worth, this a picture of
a cap from around 1991 or 1992. The batting helmet version appears to be the newer rendition.

Why didn’t they use the M-S logo at the CWS? Noticed that the M-State logo was used on the outfield wall and in the ESPN graphics on TV.
Hijack:
I still have about 4 or 5 of these from that same era, for I got (as in my parents bought me) a new one each summer at State baseball camps. Sadly, & obviously, none of them fit.
I still haven't found a good M over S cap I like in years. I'm only in town a handful of weekends a year & I've purchased a team replica one thinking it was fine but caps are made differently now & I like my bills a little more curved than the current generation of players. Any suggestions?

Adidas made a nice looking M over S Flex fit baseball hat a few years back. But the past few times I have to the Lodge and Barnes and Noble all they had was the flat bill sized fitted cap.
Wish Adidas would do another run of the Flex fits. Mine is getting pretty nasty.

As stated the Adidas flexfit is pretty sweet. I got the maroon one which looks exactly like the onfield hat, and I got a gray one with maroon letters and bib. This last week I was in Starkville went to the Lodge and bought a fitted onfield black hat like the team wears. The only difference is the eyelets are maroon instead of white. I was worried about the bin and fit, but I think it is the most comfortable and best looking on my head hat of the 3.
I disagree and think that we should try and have a more uniform, recognizable logo. The baseball MS is the best we got, so let's roll with it. I think the M state logo is ****

I agree.
Never have liked the M-State logo. I’ve grown to tolerate it. The M over S is awesome and unique. Never understood why it needed to be baseball only. It’s by far the best looking logo, so let’s use it universally. Classic and timeless.

It's good that you've grown to tolerate the M-State logo. Because it's not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. I've seen some mockups of the MS baseball logo on a football helmet (BigMotherTrucker?). It didn't look as good as it does on a baseball cap.
Actually, with a quick Google, I found this image of the St. Martin HS football helmet.

There was a version floating around a few years ago...
Maroon with white M over S that looked good. Seems like the logo was a bit bigger than this one. Also, this is a 2 dimensional flat logo on a round helmet, so looks a little strange.

The M-State is more recognizable than the M over S to the average fella around college sports. It is what it is and we don’t need to switch up by bastardizing that logo to every single sport on campus. I love the M over S, but we got to keep it within the confines of DNF. Found a pic of SMHS’s helmet and that logo doesn’t look good on a football helmet.

well I’ll be damned. What an outstanding find!! Totally debunks my theory of us copying Notre Dame’s “N over D” logo.

Would be pretty cool to use one of the chillbilly designs just for the game where they honor this years CWS team....
I agree with everything you say about the logo except..
it is not the third horizontal “line” of the S. It’s the fifth and penultimate horizontal line of the S.

Thanks so much for posting this. We have had some very nice looking baseball uniforms since 1966 (and a few not so much) but it’s hard to improve on the pinstripes from the Paul Gregory era 1966-71 while I was in school at State. I have my Mom and Dad’s Reveille’s from the late ‘40’s and early ‘50’s
and I like those as well—the Alex and Pete Grammas era.
Pinstripes! That's weird and cool.
Do any college football teams have pinstripes?
Yes. It is the exact black hat the team wears, but it has maroon eyelets instead of white. The top button is white. I don't own any MSU hats that aren't Adidas.
It looks like the M over S goes back to 1918 but I have no idea if this is in relation to State.

The one in the photo most likely refers to someone or something around Boston Mass. The Co A, 101st Machine Gun Battalion (M G Bn) carved above it was a unit of the 51st Infantry Brigade made up of Nation Guard troops from that area.
