2017 March Madness Uniforms Revealed

On Monday, Adidas announced their yearly "March Madness" uniform lineup, as they do every year. This year's designs are more restrained than previous years, though some quirks still remain. For Mississippi State, the designs for the Men and Women are nearly identical, with a slightly different cut and a gray waistband for the men being the main difference.

The women wore the white versions of these uniforms last Friday and Saturday in the SEC tournament, so we've actually already seen the design in action. It's likely that the women will keep wearing these white uniforms for the first few rounds of the NCAA tournament. There is a good chance that the maroon uniforms pictured above never actually see the court, but I hope that they do; it would mean a very deep run in the tournament for the Women to be the lower seeded team in a game.

The main differences between the regular season and postseason uniforms for the Women are the thicker stripe on the shorts, the addition of silver to the collar, and the use of the Bulldog logo on the shorts instead of the M-State logo. One of the more interesting inclusions in the "March Madness" uniform design is a subliminal cowbell pattern in the stripes on the bottom of the back of the shorts.

The men are not likely to play in any postseason tournament other than the SEC Tournament, but there's a good chance that they'll get to wear both the maroon and white "March Madness" jerseys with they're there. In their first game in Nashville, the Bulldogs will be the higher seed (likely meaning white uniforms) against an LSU team that they've already beaten twice. If they are to win, they will be the lower seed (likely meaning maroon uniforms) against Alabama. Last year, both maroon and white "March Madness" uniforms were unveiled, but only the maroon versions were ever actually worn.

The difference from the regular uniforms are more obvious for the men. Gone are the ribbon stripes on the shorts; thick gray stripes on the waist and bottom of the shorts are added, with the cowbell pattern on the bottom stripe on the back. The removal of the ribbon stripes the shorts a huge downgrade in my opinion, but the cowbell pattern somewhat makes up for it. Gray-White-Gray stripes are added to the sleeve trim on the maroon jerseys, which is actually a great addition. So it's a mixed bag for the men. The regulars are better, but these certainly aren't bad for postseason alternates, especially by Adidas's standards.
