Helmet- Shiny Maroon
Jersey- White (with new maroon-gray-maroon stripes) Pants- White (with new maroon-gray-maroon stripes) It's was the catch to the DWS 100 uniforms. It was what we hoped would go last year, but instead it only got bigger. It was the black eye of MSU's football uniforms. But it is no more. The oversized M-State pants logo has been removed for the 2016 season, and replaced with stripes.
The first sign of the impending change was that the 2015 game pants were being worn in practice throughout the fall. Still, it seemed too good to be true. As late as yesterday, I gave the oversized logo a 70% chance of return. Boy am I glad to be wrong. While the helmet and jersey (with black outlines) from 2015 will remain the same, the white pants have taken some influence from the gray pants that were introduced last season. The new pants feature a maroon-gray-maroon stripe down the side and a (much) smaller M-State logo on the left front. This differs from the gray pants, where the M-State logo is on top of the stripe on the left side. Maybe they've also altered those to be more consistent. But given how inconsistent this set is already, I wouldn't count on it. Speaking of consistency, while these pants are a YUGE upgrade over the 2014 and 2015 oversized logo pants, they don't exactly fit in with the rest of the current uniforms. The problem that we've faced since 2014 continues: Helmet: Maroon and White Jersey: Maroon, White, and Black Pants: Maroon,White, and Gray While I have proposed ditching all accent colors and going strictly maroon and white, the introduction of these pants seems to propose that gray is the accent color going forward. So the simple solution at this point would be to replace the black outlines on the jerseys with gray ones. There's honestly no reason they couldn't have done this before last season when they switched to the Primeknit template. It'll be interesting to see what maroon versions of these pants look like, as well as if the gray pants have been altered any. Other uniform changes for the 2016 season could be helmet related; the big question is if the white helmets from last season will return. The Nov. 5th game vs Texas A&M is scheduled to be a blackout. I would bet on the black jerseys from last season returning for that game, but maybe not the pants. Here's a look at how the new pants could look in a variety of combinations this season: UPDATE: New White Pants for the 2016 Season were revealed after this post.

The 2016 college football season is right around the corner, with classes starting in mid-August and the Bulldogs taking on South Alabama to kick off the 2016 season on September 3rd. It's been a rather busy summer in the state of Mississippi, but almost none of the news has revolved around uniforms. Personally, ever since the 2016 baseball season came to an abrupt end, I've been focusing more on the political news and elections than sports, but that is a topic for another place. In the first football season for the July 1st-launched hailstateunis.com, there just hasn't been much news in the way of uniforms. The closet thing to news is that fans have been instructed to "wear black" to the November 5th game vs Texas A&M, indicating that black uniforms, likely the same as those worn in 2015, could be worn again in that game. There hasn't been any indication that there will be any changes made to the 2015 uniforms, despite the fact that they could use some cleaning up. So while the uniforms may well be the same, black outlines, pants logo, and all, the HailStateUnis uniform model of two years, QB Dak Prescott, will not be wearing them this year. As determined through a series of twitter polls, WR Fred Ross will be Prescott's successor for the 2016 season. Ross's name and number will appear in all pregame and general graphics for the 2016 season. |
