Week 6: Troy- 45-17 Win

What was expected to be a fairly uneventful game uniform-wise for the Bulldogs ended up containing several upgrades to the Bulldogs' home look.  As expected, the shoulder numbers were re-added to the maroon jerseys, as they were the white jerseys two weeks ago.  In addition, the silver outline was removed from the helmet logo, which drastically improves its look; the immediate silver outline just muddles things up.

Most noticeably, however, was the reintroduction of gray pants.  Completely unexpected, the Bulldogs came out in gray pants with a triple maroon-white-maroon stripe, exactly like those worn in the late 80s and early 90s.  The only difference is the small M-State logo on the left hip, which is not nearly as overbearing as this year's normal pants logo.  This is the first time that the Bulldogs have worn gray pants since the Gator Bowl at the end of the 2012 season, and the first time at home (and with maroon jerseys) since a game vs South Alabama in 2012.

Due to the lack of the over-sized pants logo, addition of shoulder numbers, and removal of the helmet logo outline, I feel compelled to call this the best home combo of year for the Bulldogs.  That being said, there is room for improvement.  First, the idea of wears 80s pants with 90s jerseys (and not to mention a modern helmet logo) is kinda odd.  This basically brings to light my primary problem with the "DWS 100" uniforms: the lack of color consistency.  In this look, the helmet is maroon and white, the jersey is maroon, white, and black, and the pants are maroon, white, and gray.  If the Bulldogs want to claim they have a top-tier uniform, they need to make a few small tweaks and even out these inconsistencies.
