1989
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 1 pair of Pants, 2 Combinations An update in 1989 removed the shoulder stripes, helmet stripes, and all silver from the uniforms, resulting in a plain look very similar to the 1979-1983 look, as well at what would be worn from 2004-2008 (white helmets and maroon pants aside). |
1988
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 2 Pants, 2 Combinations In the third and final year of the stripe-heavy, gray-heavy set, the Bulldogs posted an abysmal 1-10 record. After this season, gray pants would not be worn again until 2012; gray pants with maroon-white-maroon stripes would not be worn again until 2015. Like in 1987, I have been told that white pants were worn against USM, Auburn, and Florida in 1988. |
1987
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 2 Pants, 2 Combinations I have been told that white pants were re-introduced and worn in some games in 1987. In old photos, it is hard to tell the difference between silver and white pants. Personally, I was not alive in 1987, so I am going off of accounts from people who were; they have said that white pants were worn against USM, LSU, and Ole Miss in 1987. |
1986
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 1 pair of Pants, 2 Combinations The 86 uniforms added an updated interlocking “MSU” logo to the helmets and introduced silver/gray to the color scheme. Stripes were added on the helmets and jersey sleeve, and silver pants with maroon-white-maroon stripes were worn exclusively. |
1985
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 2 Pants, 3 Combinations In the second and final year of the shoulder stripe uniforms, the two combinations from 1984 were worn again, along with a third combination, all maroon, which was worn in four mid-season home games. It was the first time all maroon had been worn since the early 1950s; all maroon would not be worn again until 1995. Maroon Pants would not be worn again until the Peach Bowl following the 1992 season. |
1980
1 Helmet, 2 Jerseys, 2 Pants, 2 Combinations 1980 was the second season for the uniform set featuring a maroon helmet with an interlocking "MSU", plain maroon and white jerseys, and white pants with double maroon stripes. Maroon over White was worn in the historical 6-3 win over Alabama; all White was worn in the 1980 Sun Bowl vs Nebraska. |
