2020 Baseball Season

Bulldogs Open 2020 Season With Sweep of Wright State

The 2020 Baseball Season is finally here! Expectations are high in Starkville once again, and opening weekend only bolstered those expectations, as Mississippi State handily swept Wright State to get out to a 3-0 start on the season.

For the first time in what feels like forever, there is stability within Mississippi State's baseball program. Even though things have always turned out fine in the end, with four consecutive Super Regional appearances and two consecutive Omaha trips, there has been a ton of turnover over the past four seasons, with four different head coaches and a completely re-built stadium. Now, the stadium is complete and entering its second season, and barring a 2018-like surprise, Chris Lemonis will coach his second complete season and end the rotating door at the head coach position.

A big sign of that stability can be seen within Mississippi State's uniform set and rotation. Mississippi State had a bare-bones uniform set in 2017, completely overhauled it in 2018, and made a litany of minor changes in 2019 to standardize the set. Now, in 2020, just like with the stadium and head coaching position, we seem to be at a point where we finally have a good fit and are going to roll with what we have with little to no changes.

Not only did Mississippi State not introduce any new jerseys on opening weekend (for the first time since 2016), but they wore the same three uniforms that they would wear in a standard home weekend in 2019: Maroon 85 jerseys with white pants on Friday, White STATE jerseys on Saturday, and the All-Black "Nickelblack" uniforms on Sunday.
The White STATE and Nickelback uniforms were completely unchanged from 2019; the only "new" uniform element debuted this weekend was a small change to the white pants worn with the Maroon 85 jerseys; they now have a double maroon stripe, matching the striping on the sleeve of the Maroon and White 85 jerseys.

​This means that the Bulldogs now have two pairs of white pants; one with double stripes (worn with the Maroon 85 and presumably White 85 jerseys) and one with a thick single stripe (worn with the White STATE jerseys).

Overall, the Bulldogs' uniforms still look great in 2020. The double stripe on the white pants to match the 85-style jerseys is a nice touch. I wouldn't have minded seeing the White Pinstripe jerseys on Saturday instead of the White STATE jerseys, but the STATE jerseys do look great, and as I said I  appreciate the consistency/stability with last season. Still don't love black pants on a baseball uniform, but at this point that is a thing that is not changing anytime soon; with the win this weekend, Mississippi State now has an 11-game winning streak in the "Nickelblacks" and is 20-3 all-time in All-Black.

Next week, Mississippi State is scheduled to host Samford in a Tuesday midweek game (though the weather forecast looks less than promising for Tuesday) and then host Oregon State in a marquee Friday-Sunday series.

​I would expect the same Maroon-White-Black uniform rotation will be worn against Oregon State; White "State" Pinstripes would be the most likely option for the Samford game if it gets played.

Uniform Models for the Opening Weekend of 2020:
Friday vs Wright State: Maroon 85 over White: #4 Rowdey Jordan
Saturday vs Wright State: White STATE: #19 Logan Tanner
Sunday vs Wright State: Nickelblacks: #6 Kamren James
