Wednesday’s loss in the 2014 Orange Bowl was the latest of many losses while wearing special white uniforms for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Why does this happen? To start with, it’s harder to win on the road than it is at home. But two of the examples of this phenomenon took place in neutral-site bowl games. What gives?
This started in the 2012 season, when the Bulldogs unveiled special white uniforms for the Snow Bowl reunion vs Texas A&M and the Egg Bowl vs Ole Miss. The Bulldogs lost both games, as well as Gator Bowl that year, in which they wore the snow bowl jerseys with gray pants. That season, the Bulldogs posted an 0-3 record in special white unis.
