2018 Football Season

Matte-Maroon-Gray Worn Against Florida

9/30/2018

For the second consecutive weekend, Mississippi State wore gray pants and matte maroon helmets. Being the home team, the difference this week was that the Bulldogs wore maroon jerseys instead of white.

The matte-maroon-gray combo was pretty solid, but it didn't quite flow as well as the matte-white-gray combo did last week at Kentucky. Several fans pointed out that the jerseys and helmets seemed to be a different shade of maroon; this is due to several factors. First off, the helmets are simply slightly darker. The matte finish exacerbates the darkness, as does the silver accents. The jerseys reflect light a bit more and also feature white numbers and stripes, making them a bit darker. The difference didn't really bother me, but it's definitely something to note.

The game marked the Bulldogs' third straight loss in gray pants (last year's Egg Bowl, last week at Kentucky, yesterday vs Florida) and second straight loss in matte helmets (Kentucky, Florida). Which sucks, because both the matte helmets and gray pants look good; I always hate for good uniform elements to be associated with losing. State still maintains an overall winning record of 7-6 in gray pants this century, but fell below .500 to 11-12 all-time in matte helmets.

Mississippi State had worn 8 different color combinations against Florida in the 14 matchups from 1986 to 2010. Last night was a repeat of the 86 M/M/G, but it was be the first time that matte helmets had been worn in the matchup. Florida, on the other hand, has worn the exact same helmet design in the last 22 matchups between the two teams, dating back to the 1979 season, when the "Gators" script helmets were introduced.

The uniform model for the Florida game is kicker #47 Jace Christmann, the only player to score any points for Mississippi State on Saturday.
