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.

Week 5: at Texas A&M- 17-30 Loss

Five weeks into the season, the Bulldogs have finally debuted the maroon pants, which were first leaked over the summer when they were worn in a scrimmage.  This will create the third different road combo for the Bulldogs in as many games; they wore the shiny helmet with all-white at Southern Miss and the matte helmet with all-white at Auburn.  This week, they are pairing the maroon pants with the matte helmet.

From a certain angle, this might be my favorite combo all year for the Bulldogs.  I've always been a fan of matte-white-maroon, and from the right side, this is no different.  From the left side, however, the large m-state logo can be seen.  The oversized logo really detracts from an otherwise sound look.

Week 4: at Auburn- 17-9 Win

When the Bulldogs kickoff in Auburn tonight, they will be sporting a road look vastly superior to that which they wore in the season opener at Southern Miss.  Only two changes have been made, but both were very significant.  First, the Bulldogs took the 3 week period between games to add shoulder numbers to the white primeknit jerseys.  They were missing in the season opener, even to the surprise of MSU AD Scott Stricklin. Second, the matte helmet has returned, sporting an updated M-State logo with a transparent banner and no silver outline.  These two changes should provide the Bulldogs with a very sharp road look for the rest of the season.  At the least, they will make for a good matchup in Auburn tonight.

UPDATE: Shoulder Numbers Were Added, the Silver Outline on the Helmet Logo was Removed, and Alternate Gray Pants were Added For the Third Home Game.

Last week, the Bulldogs debuted new Adidas Primeknit white uniforms in their season opener at Southern Miss.  There were several minor changes made, none too substantial but enough that the average fan noticed (and generally lamented) the differences.  This week, as expected, the maroon Primeknit jerseys were debuted vs LSU this week, with some similar differences from last year's DWS 100 uniforms.  Many of the changes were the same as those in the white jerseys, such as the removal of shoulder numbers and the modification of the stripes.  Other changes were made primarily to make the home and road jerseys consistent, for better or for worse.  The helmet and pants worn vs LSU were the same as those worn vs Southern Miss, but don't be surprised to see maroon pants or a matte helmet show up at some point.

Full list of changes:

Primeknit template
Changed Helmet logo (Transparent banner M-State with immediate silver outline)
No shoulder numbers (Could be added later, apparently even MSU AD Scott Stricklin was surprised)
No black outline on player names (Player names may be slightly taller also)
Straighter shoulder stripes (Thanks to the Primeknit template's sleeve caps)
No DWS 100 Patch
Lower M-State logo on the Pants
