In 2015, the DWS 100 uniform design was carried over to full time.  Several small changes (Maroon, White) were made, however, as the Bulldogs transitioned to Adidas's newest "Primeknit" template.  Notable changes included the helmet logo, removal of shoulder numbers (a mistake that was corrected after the first three games), and the modification of the sleeve stripes and pants logo. Maroon pants, also bearing the oversized pants logo, were added.  Gray pants with maroon-white-maroon stripes, reminiscent of those worn in the late 1980s, were also added.  New black jerseys and pants were worn for a blackout game.  White Helmets were introduced for the first time since 2012 and were worn twice, once in the Egg Bowl vs Ole Miss.

4 Helmets^, 3 Jerseys (5*), 4 Pants, 10 Combinations

*For the first three games of the season, neither the maroon nor white jerseys had shoulder numbers, therefore there were technically 2 white jersey designs and 2 maroon jersey designs worn in 2015.

^For the first three games of the season, the helmet logo had a silver outline.  Starting with the fourth game and going forward, the helmet logo had no outline.  The outline-less logo appeared on both matte and shiny versions, whereas the silver outline only appeared on a shiny helmet.

The Bulldogs will cap off their 2015 season, and Dak Prescott's career, in today's Belk Bowl vs NC State.  This year, the SEC team is the home team for the Belk Bowl, and therefore gets free choice of uniforms.  For the first time this year, the Bulldogs' uniform combo was actually announced before the game- actually about three weeks beforehand.  Scott Stricklin quickly announced on Twitter that the Bulldogs would be wearing the shiny maroon helmet and maroon jersey, with the fan's choice of pants.  Using Twitter's new poll feature, the @HailStateFB account ran a poll asking fans if the Bulldogs should wear white, maroon, or gray pants in the Belk Bowl.  Predictably, with over 7,500 votes, gray pants won the vote in a landslide, gaining 60% of the votes as compared to maroon's 28% and white's 22%.

So, for the third time this season, the Bulldogs will wear the ever-popular shiny-maroon-gray combo.  It will be the fourth time that the gray pants have been worn overall; they were worn with the matte helmet and white jersey at Arkansas.

NC State, also an Adidas school, will NOT be going with a traditional look.  Instead, they will be pairing this interesting helmet with white jersey (with black outlines) and dark gray pants.  Doesn't that color discrepancy sound familiar?

The Bulldogs will tie their single-season record of 9 uniform combinations (set in 2012) by wearing the gray pants on the road in Fayetteville.  In what will potentially be the Bulldogs' best look of the year, they will wear the matte maroon helmets, white jersey, and gray pants.  When combined with Arkansas' Red-Red-White combo, the Bulldogs will participate in one if the nation's best uni matchups for the second weekend in a row.

In their 2:30 CBS home game vs #2 Alabama, the Bulldogs made a clutch decision and brought back the gray pants first seen vs Troy earlier this season.  Because of the lack of oversized M-State logo, the gray pants create the best home look for the Bulldogs in 2015.  I have to applaud the players and equipment staff for making us look as good as possible in what very well could be the biggest game of the year.

It turned out not to be much of a game, but it was recognized nationally as one of the best uniform match-ups of the weekend.

Word leaked as far back as two weeks ago that for the first time in three years, Mississippi State would break out white helmets for its Thursday Night game at Missouri.  Sure enough, the helmets were spotted on players' Snapchat stories after they were broke in during practice on Sunday night.  After some mild controversy over what decal would appear on the matte white shell, it was revealed Thursday afternoon to be a chrome maroon transparent-banner M-State logo with a silver outline.  Paired with the regular white jerseys and pants, the helmet creates the second all-white look worn by the Bulldogs since 2008, the last year of the Croom Era.  Coincidentally, both times have been in the Bulldogs' first meetings with SEC newcomers Texas A&M and Missouri.

As I reported they would in June, the Bulldogs debuted brand new black uniforms this weekend vs Kentucky.  The jersey was the one that was leaked in June, with shoulder numbers thankfully added.  It was paired with the matte maroon helmet that was previously worn in the Auburn and Texas A&M games.  The pants were black, with an over-sized silver M-State logo.

The silver numbers, maroon stripes, and matte helmets combined to make this look much better than the previous all-black uniforms, which had a shiny texture and nearly illegible maroon numbers.  The pants are outlandish, but more appropriate for a one-off alternate than full time use (like this year's maroon and white pants).

As has been the case for the past two years, the Bulldogs will wear all-maroon for homecoming.  This will be the second time that this year's maroon pants, which feature an oversized M-State logo, have been worn, with the first being two weeks ago at Texas A&M.  This will be the sixth combo worn in 7 games for the Bulldogs.

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.
