Bulldogs go Traditional in Homecoming Win over Kentucky

For the second straight homecoming game, Mississippi State wore their traditional Maroon-Maroon-White uniform combo. This comes after a three year stretch from 2013-2015 where the Bulldogs wore Maroon-Maroon-Maroon for homecoming each year. Coming into the week, I expected the Bulldogs to go back to all-Maroon (which isn't the best combination but should be better with the updated maroon jersey) for the matchup with Kentucky, since they hadn't worn it yet this season. I was pleasantly surprised when the traditional combo was announced.

Kentucky wore blue-white-blue for the third straight time in Starkville, and this is the best it's ever looked for them. The matte blue helmet really pops along with the rest of the uniform; it's a much better look than the chrome decals and facemask that were worn on a shiny blue helmet in Starkville two years ago.

This was the most traditional that the Mississippi State vs Kentucky matchup, which has had an inconsistent uniform history, has looked since 2010, and the best that it has ever looked, in my opinion. The last 6 seasons, Kentucky had worn black uniforms (11,12), chrome helmets (14,16), and anthracite uniforms (16) against State. In that span, the Bulldogs had worn matte helmets each of those six years (11-16), including the oversized Bulldog helmets in 2013, and along with black uniforms in 2015. The traditional matchup this year was a breath of fresh air, especially now that both teams have really solid uniform sets. It was the seventh above average uniform matchup of the season involving the Bulldogs in as many games; their first below average matchup of 2017 will probably come next week at Texas A&M.

This week's uni model is defensive end #9 Montez Sweat, who was a big reason why the Bulldog defense held to 7 points a Kentucky team that they allowed 40 to a year ago. Sweat accumulated 7 tackles (2.5 for loss), 1.5 sacks, and a QB hurry.
