|
White Script "State"
2017-2018 In the opening game of the 2018 NIT, Mississippi State wore some really cool throwback uniforms featuring the script "State" logo that was worn on the Bulldogs' uniforms from the 74-75 to 76-77 seasons. The throwback look was complete with a rounded collar, maroon piping on the sleeves and collar, maroon waistbands, and a triangle design on the shorts with vertical "M S U" lettering. |
Introduced in 2016-2017:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 to 2018-2019 Mississippi State received a custom basketball uniform design for the 16-17 season, giving the Bulldogs their best primary look in a good while. These featured a clean jersey design with simple collar and sleeve striping and shorts with a more traditional striping design, with double stripes down the sides and on the bottoms that formed a "ribbon" shape at their juncture. These jerseys would be worn for three seasons; for the 18-19 season, the Bulldog logo on the shorts was replaced by the "M-State" logo. |
|
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 to 2018-2019 The maroon versions of the 16-17 uniforms were a direct inverse of the white uniforms, with white collar/sleeve striping, white numbers and lettering, and white stripes on the shorts. |
|
|
Black "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 to 2018-2019 The black versions of the 16-17 uniforms featured a good balance of white and maroon accents, with white and maroon collar/sleeve striping, white numbers and lettering, and maroon fill in-between the double white stripes on the shorts. |
|
|
Cream Iced Out "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 to 2017-2018 Mississippi State introduced a second cream uniform in 16-17 as part of a special "Iced Out" series by Adidas. These uniforms featured a maroon "banner" wordmark, maroon numbers, and a subtle but reflective "Iced Out" pattern on the shoulders and shorts. They would be worn as alternates for two seasons. |
|
White Made in March "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 Adidas continued their "Made in March" program for the 16-17 season, providing new uniform designs to each of its teams participating in the postseason. This time, Mississippi State had the opportunity to wear both the white and maroon designs. The white design featured maroon and gray striping on the collar and sleeves (mirroring the striping pattern worn by the football team at the time), maroon waistbands, a large maroon stripe at the bottom of the shorts with a subtle cowbell pattern, and a Bulldog logo on the side of the shorts. |
|
Maroon Made in March "Mississippi State"
2016-2017 The maroon version of the 16-17 "Made in March" uniforms really went heavy on the gray accents, with white and gray striping on the collar and sleeves, gray waistbands, and a large gray stripe at the bottom of the shorts with a subtle cowbell pattern, and a Bulldog logo on the side of the shorts. The numbers and lettering were white to provide balance between the white and gray accents. |
Introduced in 2015-2016:
|
Cream "STATE"
2015-2016 to 2019-2020 Mississippi State introduced a new cream design in 2016, a throwback to the "Game of Change" design that was originally worn from the 59-60 to 65-66 seasons. These uniforms were strictly maroon and cream, with block numbers, arched block "STATE" lettering, and traditional striping on the collar, sleeves, and shorts. These were easily one of the cleanest uniforms in program history - a truly fantastic look that would stay in the rotation for 5 seasons. |
|
|
Maroon Made in March "Mississippi State"
2015-2016 In the 2016 SEC Tournament, Mississippi State joined other Adidas schools in wearing special "Made in March" uniforms for the postseason. These featured a simpler design than the Bulldogs' regular uniforms at the time, with no contrasting shoulders, simple collar, sleeve, and shorts bottom striping, and a chevron design on the shorts accompanied by the "M-State" logo on either side. A white version of this uniform was unveiled but never worn as the Bulldogs were never the designated "home" team in a postseason game. |
Introduced in 2014-2015:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2014-2015 to 2015-2016 The Bulldogs received a refresh in 14-15, upgrading to Adidas's then-newest design template, which featured contrasting shoulder caps. For the white jerseys, that meant maroon shoulder caps with a gap in the back for a maroon State of Mississippi logo. the shorts featured a triangular geometric design. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2014-2015 to 2015-2016 The maroon version of the 14-15 uniforms featured white shoulder caps, a white State of Mississippi logo on the back, and a white triangular geometric design on the shorts. |
|
Black "Mississippi State"
2014-2015 to 2015-2016 The black uniforms in this set featured maroon shoulder caps, a maroon triangular geometric design on the shorts, white player names and numbers, a white "banner" wordmark, and a white State of Mississippi logo on the back. |
|
Cream "STATE"
2014-2015 Mississippi State wore cream basketball uniforms for the first time ever in 2015. Featuring a "fauxback" design, these uniforms were not a throwback to any specific era, but certainly featured classic elements, including maroon block numbers, white block "STATE" lettering outlined in maroon, a white State of Mississippi logo on the back outlined in maroon, thick maroon piping on the sleeves and collar, and a maroon stripe on the shorts that ended in a "ribbon" design. |
Introduced in 2012-2013:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2012-2013 to 2013-2014 In Rick Ray's first year as Head Coach at Mississippi State in 12-13, the Bulldogs' uniforms were redesigned to prominently feature the "banner" wordmark logo, which was being adopted university-wide and had been worn by Women's Basketball, Football, and other sports since Fall 2009. The uniforms featured primarily maroon accents, with piping down the side, a gradient design on the shorts, and subtle dog bone design on shoulders. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2012-2013 to 2013-2014 The maroon uniforms introduced in 12-13 had the same core features, including the "banner" wordmark, white side piping, white gradient on the shorts, and subtle dog bone pattern on the shoulders. |
|
Gray "Mississippi State"
2012-2013 to 2013-2014 Mississippi State wore light gray alternate uniforms as part of the set introduced in 12-13. They were effectively just the white uniforms but with all the white replaced with a light gray. Unlike the gray uniforms worn in the 11-12 season, these did not feature any white outlines on the lettering or numbers. |
|
Black "Mississippi State"
2012-2013 to 2013-2014 The 12-13 set also included black uniforms, which featured a white "banner" wordmark and white numbers with maroon side piping and a maroon short gradient. |
Introduced in 2011-2012:
|
Gray "Mississippi State"
2011-2012 In 2012, Mississippi State introduced a gray alternate jersey for the first time since the 1980s. These jerseys followed the same pattern as the white, maroon, and black uniforms that were worn in that era, with maroon numbers and lettering outlined in white, a maroon collar, and a white and maroon side design. |
Introduced in 2009-2010:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2009-2010 to 2011-2012 In 2010, the rest of Mississippi State's athletic department switched over to Adidas, joining the Men's Basketball team, which had been wearing Adidas since 2003. This brought a new university wide font, which was used in the Bulldogs' new uniforms for the 09-10 season in both the lettering and numbering. The chest lettering retained the same "stacked" design that had been worn since 2003, just in the new font. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2009-2010 to 2011-2012 The maroon uniforms that were introduced in 09-10 and worn for the remainder of Rick Stansbury's tenure at Mississippi State featured heavy gray and white accents, with gray outlines on white numbers, gray collars, and a gray and white side design. |
|
Black "Mississippi State"
2009-2010 to 2011-2012 For the first time in program history, Mississippi State wore black uniforms in 2010. They would wear this design as an alternate for the next three seasons and have worn a black jersey design in every single season since. These jerseys featured maroon numbers and lettering outlined in white, maroon collars, and a gray and maroon side design. |
Introduced in 2008-2009:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2008-2009 The Bulldogs updated their uniforms for the first time in two years prior to the 08-09 season. With a baggy fit, wide collar and sleeve stripes, and a thick stripe down the side, these were the some of the Bulldogs' busiest uniforms. The wordmark and number font were the same as the previous few seasons; the M-State logo appeared on the bottom of the shorts and back of the collar. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2008-2009 The maroon uniforms in 08-09 were an exact inverse of the white uniforms, with heavy white and light gray accents. These maroon jerseys were worn as the Bulldogs won the 2009 SEC Tournament; the NCAA patch was worn on the right chest of the maroon uniforms in the subsequent NCAA Tournament appearance. |
|
Introduced in 2006-2007:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2006-2007 to 2007-2008 Prior to the 06-07 season, the side panel and shorts stripes were simplified, while the wordmark, number font, and collar/sleeve striping remained the same. The result was a much less busy look, arguably the best of the Stansbury Era. |
|
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2006-2007 to 2007-2008 The maroon version of this look featured a simplified white-gray-white striping pattern on the collar and sleeves. Both the white and maroon jerseys were worn with the NCAA patch on the left chest in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. |
|
Introduced in 2005-2006:
|
White "STATE"
2005-2006 Along with every other SEC team, Mississippi State wore throwback uniforms in 2006 to commemorate the 80th season of SEC Basketball. Modeled after uniforms worn from 1969 to 1970, the throwbacks featured "STATE" on the chest and traditional striping, along with a Bulldog logo on the shorts. |
|
Maroon "STATE"
2005-2006 Maroon versions of the 69-70 throwbacks were worn at Auburn, featuring the same "STATE" lettering and Bulldog logo on the shorts. |
Introduced in 2004-2005:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2004-2005 to 2005-2006 For the 04-05 season, the Bulldogs updated their uniforms to feature a more complex striping pattern on the side panels and sleeve/collar cuffs, incorporating more gray into the uniforms as an accent color. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2004-2005 to 2005-2006 The maroon jerseys had a matching complex striping pattern. Both the white and maroon jerseys were worn in the 2005 NCAA Tournament. These uniforms would be the first to be worn for more than one season since the early '90s. |
Introduced in 2003-2004:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2003-2004 In the Bulldogs' 2004 SEC Regular Season Championship season, the "stacked" wordmark remained on the uniforms, while simple double stripes were added to the sides and shorts. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2003-2004 The maroon version of the 2003-2004 uniforms was a strict inverse of the white uniforms, with white and maroon swapping and the gray outline remaining on the numbers and lettering. |
Introduced in 2002-2003:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2002-2003 Mississippi State wore Adidas basketball uniforms for the first time in the 02-03 season, resulting in a drastic upgrade over the 01-02 Russell Athletic uniforms. The first Adidas uniforms were the first to feature the "stacked" wordmark that would remain on the jerseys for the rest of the decade. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2002-2003 The maroon and white versions of the 02-03 uniforms were simply inverses of each other; both featured small "BULLDOGS" lettering on the right chest, an American Flag on the left chest, and white/maroon and gray side panels. |
Introduced in 2001-2002:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2001-2002 Featuring the Russell Athletic "Viper" font, the 01-02 uniforms were... not the best Mississippi State basketball history. These uniforms kept the geometric collar/sleeve pattern from the previous accent, but heavily featured black as an accent color alongside maroon. The jerseys featured a large American Flag patch on the left collar. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2001-2002 The maroon version of this uniform is best known for being worn as the Bulldogs won the 2002 SEC Tournament Championship. It featured white and gray accents on the sleeves, collar, numbers, and lettering, but white and black accents on the side panels. |
Introduced in 2000-2001:
|
White "Mississippi State"
2000-2001 The 00-01 uniforms kept the block numbers and lettering, but featured a geometric pattern on the side panel, sleeves, collar, and bottom of the shorts. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
2000-2001 The maroon version of the 00-01 uniforms featured an inverted version of the same geometric pattern on the side panel, sleeves, collar, and bottom of the shorts. |
Introduced in 1999-2000:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1999-2000 Mississippi State Basketball went back to Russell Athletic in Stansbury's second season; the result was uniforms that were extremely basic, with a simple block font, no sleeve/collar stripes, and 4 rectangles on the sides of both the jersey and shorts. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1999-2000 The maroon version of the 1999-2000 uniforms were just as simple, with a simple block font, no sleeve/collar stripes, and 4 rectangles on the sides of both the jersey and shorts. |
Introduced in 1998-1999:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1998-1999 In Rick Stansbury's first season as head coach, the Bulldogs' uniforms featured block numbers/lettering and a circle pattern on the collar/sleeve cuffs, waistband, and shorts bottom. As with all of the Champion uniforms, these featured black outlines on the lettering and numbers. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1998-1999 The maroon uniforms in 98-99 were near inverses of the home white uniforms, with the exception that the side panel on the jersey only featured a small chevron design and did not extend to the bottom of the jersey. |
Introduced in 1997-1998:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1997-1998 In the final season of the Richard Williams Era, the Bulldogs wore uniforms with simple double maroon stripes on the collar/sleeve cuffs, waistband, and shorts bottom. These uniforms still featured black outlines on the lettering and numbers. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1997-1998 The maroon uniforms in 96-97 followed a similar pattern, though they featured single rather than double white stripes on the collar/sleeve cuffs, waistband, and shorts bottom, keeping the maroon-white-maroon color pattern consistent across the entire set. |
Introduced in 1996-1997:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1996-1997 Switching to Champion for the 96-97 season, the follow up to the Final Four season featured uniforms with contrasting side panels (with an inverted M-State logo near the bottom) and black accents in the form of outlines on the numbers, lettering, and side panels. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1996-1997 The maroon uniforms in 96-97 weren't quite a perfect inverse of the home white uniforms, as they did not feature contrasting collar and shoulder piping. However, the rest of the uniform was a mirror image, with white and black accents on the numbers, lettering, and side panels. |
Introduced in 1995-1996:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1995-1996 It's only fitting that Mississippi State's most successful team ever wore arguably the best uniforms in program history. With a simple block font for lettering and numbers, a classic double stripe on the collar/sleeves/waistband, and traditional side panel striping with (the debut of) the M-State logo on the shorts, the uniforms worn during the 1996 Final Four season still look great today. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1995-1996 The maroon uniforms were worn in the Bulldogs' Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, and Final Four games in 1996. A simple inverse of the white uniforms, these went down in history along with one of the greatest Mississippi State sports teams of all time. |
Introduced in 1994-1995:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1994-1995 The 94-95 uniforms, while very similar to the "Final Four" uniforms worn the following year, had a few quirks that set them apart. Though the collar, sleeves, waistband, and side panels featured the same design, the lettering on the front used a western-y font, while a thin and round font was used for the numbers. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1994-1995 The maroon uniforms were worn in the Round of 32 victory over Utah and Sweet Sixteen appearance against eventual National Champion UCLA. An inverse of the home white uniforms, these also featured by far the coolest part about this uniform set: a diagonal "MSU" logo over an orange basketball on the side of the shorts. |
Introduced in 1993-1994:
|
White "Mississippi State"
1993-1994 The 93-94 uniforms saw the return of the "Mississippi" above the number and "State" below the number style, which had last been worn in the 85-86 season. The shorts had a rather innovative design, with a large, curved diagonal stripe wrapping all the way around them, with an interlocking "MSU" logo above the stripe on the right leg and inverted "BULLDOGS" lettering on the stripe on the left leg. |
|
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1993-1994 The maroon uniforms in 93-94 were a perfect inverse of the home white uniforms, with split "Mississippi State" lettering, double stripes on the collar, sleeves, and waistband, and a large stripe on the shorts with inverted "BULLDOGS" lettering. |
|
1990-1991 through 1992-1993 Seasons:
From 90-91 to 92-93, the Bulldogs wore fairly simple uniforms that followed the design of the 89-90 home uniforms, but with a diagonal "MSU" on the shorts. The uniforms had a "State" wordmark on the chest and featured double striping on the collar, neck, waistband, and bottom of the shorts. Everything, including the wordmark, numbers, and shorts logo, had a double outline. |
|
|
1986-1987 through 1989-1990 Seasons:
Richard Williams's first four seasons as head coach were a rather hectic time for State's uniforms. Going back to a simple "State" on the chest, the 86-87 uniforms featured an interlocking "MSU" shorts logo and maroon/gray striping on the waistband and shorts bottom. In the 87-88 season, the Bulldogs added the first alternate jersey in school history: a gray jersey following the same template as the 86-87 uniforms, with white numbers and wordmark outlined in maroon, maroon and white striping, and a circular shorts logo. It was worn until the 89-90 season. In 88-89, the wordmark on the white and maroon jerseys was altered. In 89-90, the white jerseys were altered yet again, with gray removed, the wordmark/outlines altered again, and an Oklahoma State style "MSU" shorts logo. |
|
|
1984-1985 through 1985-1986 Seasons:
In Bob Boyd's final two seasons, the uniforms were altered slightly. The front design with double outlines stayed the same, as did the interlocking "MSU" shorts logo. The changes included the addition of player names underneath the number on back and a third stripe to the striping pattern on the collar/neck, waistband, and shorts bottom. |
|
|
1981-1982 through 1983-1984 Seasons:
Bob Boyd became head coach in 81-82; for his first three seasons, the uniforms were given a more constrained design. The fronts featured the "Mississippi" - number - "State" design, but in simple maroon and white. The numbers, wordmark, and interlocking "MSU" shorts logo all featured double outlines; the collar/neck, waistband, and shorts bottom all featured a double-stripe design. |
|
|
1977-1978 through 1980-1981 Seasons:
One of the coolest basketball uniforms design in school history, the 77-78 through 80-81 uniforms featured silver heavily and had huge, loud stripes down the sides. Using the "Mississippi" - number - "State" design for the first time ever on a varsity jersey, both the maroon and white jerseys featured silver numbers and wordmarks (outlined in maroon on the white jerseys and in white on the maroon jerseys). The collar/neck, side panels, and waistbands featured white, maroon, and silver striping. The shorts had wide stripes that started on the side and curved along to the bottom, taking up a lot of real estate on the short shorts of the day. Couldn't have possibly been more "70's." |
|
|
1974-1975 through 1976-1977 Seasons:
Worn for three seasons in the mid 70's, the script "State" uniforms were the first huge design change in 15 years. With a large, beautiful script on the front and the triangle "MSU" design on the shorts, these were radical in comparison to State's previous uniform designs. Throwbacks to these uniforms were worn in the 2018 season; ironically, several days after the throwbacks were worn, Ole Miss hired Kermit Davis Jr. to be their new head coach. Why is that ironic? Kermit Davis Sr. was the head coach at Mississippi State when these uniforms were originally worn. |
|
|
1970-1971 through 1973-1974 Seasons:
The 70-71 through 73-74 uniforms were more or less a throwback to the 59-60 through 64-65 uniforms. The only differences were a slightly different font for the "State" wordmark and the lack of a number on the shorts. An interesting note about these seasons is that some players would still wear the jerseys from the 68-69 through 69-70 set, which were similar but featured a "State" wordmark that was in a wider, bolder font. This created a mis-matched, non-uniform look at times. Definitely something you'd never see happen today. |
|
|
1968-1969 through 1969-1970 Seasons:
These two seasons' uniforms featured a wider, bolder font for the "State" wordmark. The shorts stripes were simplified from the previous set and the waistband was made a solid color (white on maroon, maroon on white). A Bulldog logo on the shorts is the defining feature of these uniforms. As part of a league-wide throwback movement, these uniforms were the basis for State's first ever throwback uniforms worn in 2006. |
|
|
1965-1966 through 1967-1968 Seasons:
In the mid 60's, the Bulldogs' uniforms featured a more complicated shorts striping pattern and a thinner, less serif-heavy wordmark font. |
|
|
1959-1960 through 1965-1966 Seasons:
Best known for being worn in the "Game of Change", this is probably the most "classic" Mississippi State basketball uniform design. With a simple "State" on the chest, a single stripe on the collar/neck area, traditional striping on the shorts, and the number on the shorts, this look was brought back via cream throwbacks in 2016. |
|
|
1956-57 through 1958-1959 Seasons:
The first (and thus-far only) player to ever have his number retired as a basketball player at Mississippi State is #52 Bailey Howell, who played at State for three seasons, from 56-57 through 58-59. During his three seasons, State's white uniforms featured white on white numbers and a white on white "Maroons" wordmark. So far as I can tell, two maroon uniforms were worn during Howell's time at State; one featuring maroon on maroon numbers and one featuring solid white numbers. Neither had a front wordmark and both used the same shorts design. |
