My name is Paul Sullivan- I'm a 2020 Mississippi State graduate with a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering! I'm originally from Taylorsville, Mississippi and currently reside in Starkville, where I work in the research park as a Software Engineer.
Raised by my dad to be a lifelong Mississippi State Fan, I started the MSU Football and Baseball Uniform Trackers in high school, and created the "HailStateUnis" Twitter account my senior year of high school. The summer before my freshman year at State, I launched the "HailStateUnis.com" website. It's been a really enjoyable hobby that combines by love of sports, technology, and the need to classify/organize things. |
HailStateUnis is strictly a hobby for me; I do not profit from it in any way whatsoever, and it is not affiliated with Mississippi State University in any fashion. I refuse to include any ads on the website as I feel that would be an unnecessary detriment to the user experience.
That being said, there are some monthly costs associated with keeping the website and database online, so if anyone feels so inclined as to donate to help keep them up and running, it would be greatly appreciated.

HailStateUnis Timeline:
- August 2012: Hail State Unis originated after a poster on the CCSLC asked for people to start up uni trackers for their favorite college football teams.
- January 2014: After two seasons of tracking only football on what was called the "Mississippi State Football Uni Tracker", the "Hail State Baseball Uniform Tracker" was launched.
- June 2015: A twitter account under the moniker @HailStateUnis was created, proving to be a great way to interact with fans and promote content.
- July 2016: Four years after the Football Uni Tracker was first created, the two blogs were combined into one single website, HailStateUnis.com, which covers football, baseball, men's basketball, and women's basketball.
- July 2020: The HailStateUnis Database is launched, providing even easier access to the Bulldogs' historic uniform records. The Database includes a large collection of historic individual game records for football, baseball, men's basketball, and women's basketball.
By July of 2020, HailStateUnis.com has gradually been expanded to include even more information and graphics about Mississippi State football, baseball, and basketball. In addition to a few concepts from over the years, the website currently includes:
