CONCEPT- WHAT IF- Mississippi State Switched back to Nike



Many know the story of the slanted “MSU” logo that Nike owns, not allowing Mississippi State to use it to this day.  A new logo set was created in 2009 and is in use currently.  Mississippi State is in a contract with Adidas until 2020, so this is strictly conceptual, but I put this together today to show what Nike might do if it got Mississippi State back.

The design is based on the DWS 100 unis from this year, which themselves are based on MSU’s Nike unis of the late 1990s.  Black is removed from the uniforms, something I hope happens with the current uniforms.  Gray is added in place of it, and as a result, the sleeve stripes mirror Kansas State’s.  A similar striping pattern adorns the pants and white helmet.

The slanted “MSU” logo is added back to the helmets; three different designs are used.  The first is a maroon helmet with a regular, shiny finish and a white facemask.  It would be worn only with the maroon jerseys.  The second is a maroon helmet with a matte finish and a white facemask.  It would be worn only with the white jerseys.  The final helmet would be white, with a maroon facemask and maroon double stripe.  It would be worn only with the white pants, but with both jerseys.  A maroon Egg Bowl jersey with gold accents is also included.
