If MSU switched to Jordan

I saw these on 247 and man does it look so much better than anything Adidas has ever done.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Why would we switch continents? That's a logistical nightmare.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Be a long *** flight to home games for sure

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Our jerseys would look better, adidas or whoever, would look better if we dropped the banner wordmark and go with nothing or something similar to what is proposed in the above image.

 

[o_tacodawg]

Jordan is THE brand right now and any school with the ability to make the switch should do so. Adidas is complete *** and has shown theirs time and time again.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

That jersey is the best mock I’ve seen. You could put any brand on it … Adidas, Nike, Jordan whoever. That looks 100 times better than our current unis. The cursive State looks so much better than the banner above our numbers now.

 

[mstateglfr]

They look like a jersey. It doesn't look like some incredibly transformative uniform.
When the team plays I care very little about where the white piping is or if there is a maroon stripe on the pants.

 

[PineGroveBully]

Excellent work as usual, Cochise

 

[DoomSlayer]

I’ve been told countless times that Nike will never take us, Nike owns Jordan brand so if those people are correct it won’t happen.

Did they give you a reason why?

It seems like bad business for a company to turn down a school unless they had a specific reason for doing it. I saw an article from a few years back saying they already had 10 of the 14 SEC schools. Seems Nike (or any company) would want all the SEC.

You could put a Russell logo on it and people would like it. Has nothing to do with the Jumpman logo.

 

[Dog316]

It isn’t how the team dresses. It is how it plays. We must have a plethora of snappy dressers for there to be so many uniform threads.

Looks good, we should brand ourselves as, "State." Mississippi State is too long and doesn't roll off the tongue, "MSU" is already taken by Michigan State and "MS State," "M State "and Miss State are turrible.

I think the word "State" can't be trademarked, so that won't happen.

the "State" is a tad too big. It shouldn't be almost touching the numeral. Other than that looks awesome!!

 

[Yellowbob]

As long as Ole miss uses cursive I don’t want any part of that State segment.

Honestly those look worse than anything Adidas that I've seen. Eye of the beholder and such...

 

[thatsbaseball]

Little late for this question but does our agreement with Adidas require we wear whatever they send us to wear ?

Kit Morris is the senior director of college sports marketing at Nike. He’s been in that role for about a decade and has been with Nike for 25 years. Kit Morris graduated from Ole Miss in 1973.

That’s true…but imagine recruiting around all sports if you could come here and get a rare pair of maroon Jordan (insert your favorite number…mine being the 4s) along with better looking bulldog gear.

I consider myself more “snazzy pizzazzy” than “snappy”.

That would mean he's around 70 years old.

I wonder if he plans to work until death.

My plan is to stop working (i.e., retire) BEFORE I die . . . not WHEN I die.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Sorry, using just State on any of the MSU stuff makes us look like the imaginary team in Fansville. Of course if we get Dr Pepper to fully sponsor us??? (No need for color changes)

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Those look way better than the OP's. It has "grow on me" potential.

 

[PineGroveBully]

I guess I’m in the minority but I actually like the banner logo. I thought the uni’s Saturday looked great. I’m just thankful that Russell isn’t making them.

 

[bolddogge]

From the SEC to the MEC.

 

[OutaStatePlates]

Had to laugh at that one. I kinda agree.

The silhouette of a basketball player doesn't belong on a football jersey. The silhouette of a football player belongs on a football jersey.

Have you ever noticed that no one ever does a mock up helmet with the cursive STATE facing the other way? My guess is it doesn't look good on the other side of the helmet.

Yep. Compare the alignment and angle between the two. Totally different.

 

[IPMdawg]

I could be wrong, but doesn’t Jordan only have 1 football school in each Power 5 conference? I don’t think they’re letting Mississippi State in that exclusive club. Would love for them to, but we aren’t next up behind North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan, and UCLA.

 

[RocketDawg]

I don't see anything wrong with what we have except they look purple on television. Maybe it's the stadium lighting or something.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Between this and soft pretzels and bird **** on the seats we are struggling to find important issues

There is a big difference in how colors look at night versus a bright, sunny day. Maroon is a color that looks crimson when hit by direct sunlight. Then you throw in the fact that ***/body sweat darkens the color over the course of the game. Give me a darker maroon over a crimson looking maroon any day.

Best looking unis I have seen for a MSU team. I've never been a big fan of the stripes on the shoulders particularly on the maroon jerseys because the light gray blends in with the white too much. This look has a darker gray which contrasts better up against the white stripes. Really like the script "State" .

 

[aTotal360]

If you don't find the quality of soft pretzels important, then you're on the wrong board.

Because we’d be just another school to Nike and low man on the totem pole. We are actually really high up on the totem pole with Adidas.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I must be on the wrong board then because I sure don't find it important. Buy something you actually like and quit bitchin. Im sure there are options
