These uniforms, which also featured solid contrasting side panels, were worn for two seasons.
Picture

Like the previous set, the maroon uniforms at this time were inverses of the white uniforms, with the exception of the collar/sleeves area, which featured a maroon fill with a white block containing the "M-State" logo directly in the center of the collar on both uniforms. For the maroon uniforms, this meant a simplified look with no contrasting collars or sleeves except fro the white block at the center of the collar.

The Women's uniforms also featured a "belt buckle" inset with the M-State logo, and kept the double-outlined "Mississippi State" and player numbers on the jersey front/back from the previous uniforms.
Picture
Maroon "Mississippi State"
1999-2000 to 2001-2002
The Maroon uniforms worn during this time period were simply an inverse of the white uniforms.

​Though the Men's team changed away from this design after only one season, the Women's team kept it for three seasons, as they enjoyed success being led by future #1 overall WNBA draft pick Latoya Thomas.
