Returning back to Dudy Noble for a weekend series to brush up before the start of conference play, Mississippi State hosted and swept Quinnipiac this past weekend, improving to 10-4 on the season and getting back on a winning pace.
The Bulldogs were originally supposed to play Southern Miss in Pearl on Wednesday, but heavy rain forced that game to be postponed. As a result, Mississippi State only played three games this past week, all three against the Quinnipiac Bobcats. This marked the third three-game week of non-conference play- the prior two were opening weekend against Wright State and the second weekend against Oregon State (prior to which a midweek game against Samford was cancelled).
Just like in both of those weekend series, Mississippi State was simple and consistent with its uniform selection: Maroon 85 over White on Friday, White STATE on Saturday, and All-Black on Sunday. That was the weekend rotation for every Friday-Saturday-Sunday home series in 2019 and will presumably be the same for every one in 2020.
The win on Friday improved the Bulldogs to 3-1 in the Maroon 85 over White combination, including 3-0 at home. The Maroon 85 jerseys are 3-2 overall (the additional loss was in white pinstripe pants in game 3 at Long Beach State).
Saturday's win improved the White STATE jerseys' record in 2020 to 3-0. The Bulldogs are 4-0 on Saturdays in 2020- they also won in the new Gray Script "State" jerseys last Saturday at Long Beach.
After a week off, the All-Black look returned to its usual Sunday spot, improving to 2-1 on the season and potentially starting a new winning streak.

This week, the Bulldogs have a two-game midweek series against Texas Tech in Biloxi. I'm unclear on how the home team will be designated for those games, but I imagine State will be "home" for at least one if not both of the games. If State is home for both of them, I would expect to see the White 85s and White Pinstripes worn- if they're the road team for one of them, you could see the Gray Script "State" uniforms, Gray Pinstripes, or Gray Sleeveless Vests.
After playing Texas Tech, the Bulldogs will open SEC Play with a home Fri-Sat-Sun series against Arkansas; I would expect the same standard home uniform rotation for that series.
