2023-2024
In year two under Sam Purcell, Mississippi State failed to return to the NCAA Tournament after a late season slide. However, they accepted a bit to the inaugural WBIT and won a pair of games before falling in the quarterfinals. Mississippi State wore new primary maroon and white uniforms for the 2023-2024 season with a new side panel design. Otherwise, they retained all four alternate uniforms from the previous season - pink, black, cream "STATE" and cream "Black Excellence."

2022-2023
In the first year under Sam Purcell, Mississippi State returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019, winning two games before being eliminated in the Round of 32. Though the Bulldogs' primary maroon and white uniforms remained the same for the 2022-2023 season, four new alternate uniforms were introduced, including a new pink uniform, a new edition of the black "Starkvegas" uniforms, and two new cream uniforms: one with an arched "State" on the chest and another with split "Mississippi State" lettering on the front and a floral design throughout honoring Black Excellence.

2021-2022
Under Interim Head Coach Doug Novak, Mississippi State overcame an almost unimaginable number of obstacles, finishing with a winning record despite finishing the season with only 7 active players. The Bulldogs had new primary maroon and white uniforms for the 2021-2022 season, featuring maroon, white, and gray side striping. New black uniforms featuring "Starkvegas" on the chest were debuted in a home victory over Ole Miss. The pink uniforms from the previous season were retained.

2020-2021
Nikki McCray Penson's lone season as head coach in Starkville was a bumpy one, with a plethora of covid-related cancellations and attendance restrictions. The Bulldogs narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament and turned down a WNIT bid, finishing the season with a 10-9 record. The Bulldogs had an entirely new set of uniforms for the 2020-2021 season, featuring a lighter texture and shorter shorts as part of Adidas's newest template. The new set featured white, maroon, and pink jerseys with the "banner" logo as well as maroon and black jerseys with a script "State" logo. This script logo was previously worn by the Men's team from 1975 to 1977 as well as in the 2018 NIT. Finally, the Bulldogs wore special maroon uniforms featuring a silver "banner" logo for SEC Tournament.

2019-2020
In a "rebuilding year," the Bulldogs still managed an incredibly impressive 27-6 record in the 2019-2020 season, finishing second in the SEC Standings and advancing to their fifth consecutive SEC Tournament Championship Game. They would have also hosted their first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season, but all postseason tournaments were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2019-2020, Mississippi State had its third primary uniform design in three seasons. The new design, which was worn in white, maroon, and black, was fairly simple, with rounded collars and no piping or trim; however, they were marred by gigantic double-stripes down the right side. New pink uniforms were also introduced in 2020, featuring a clean and simple design with white numbers and trim and a maroon "Mississippi State" wordmark. The white "State" jerseys from the previous three seasons were retained, but worn with the new double-striped shorts.

2019 World University Games
Mississippi State was selected to represent the United States in the 2019 World University Games in Napoli, Italy. Though they usually draft an all-star team to compete in the games, this was the fourth time that the US had selected a single team (or in one case, conference) to compete in the Games. The previous teams (Big 12 in 2003, Charlotte in 2007, Maryland in 2017) failed to finished better than 5th. Mississippi State won its friendly, swept through Pool C, and won its first two games in the medal rounds before falling to Australia in the Gold Medal match. With a 6-1 overall record and a second-place, silver medal finish, the Bulldogs became the first non all-star USA Team to earn a medal at the event! The uniforms for the event were white and blue, and utilized the Mississippi State custom font, with "USA" on the front of both jerseys. The "M-State" logo was featured on the back of the collar and on the shorts.

2018-2019
Mississippi State followed up back-to-back National Championship appearances by winning its second consecutive SEC Regular Season championship, winning its first ever SEC Tournament championship, and advancing to its third consecutive Elite Eight. The Bulldogs' primary uniforms were re-designed for this season, with thicker neck/arm trim and a much thicker stripe at the bottom of the shorts. The primary design was worn in white, maroon, black, and gray. The "State" jerseys from the previous two seasons were retained, but were worn with the updated shorts. The pink uniforms from the previous season were retained verbatim. A new alternate uniform, part of the "Harlem" Black History Month series by Adidas, was introduced in 2019. It was worn in the SEC Tournament Championship victory and in the Elite Eight game against Oregon.

2017-2018
The 2017-18 season was the most successful in Mississippi State Women's Basketball History, as the Bulldogs ran the table in the regular season, capturing the SEC regular season title in the process, and made their second consecutive national championship game appearance. The Bulldogs returned 5 uniforms (White, Maroon, White "State", Gray, and Black) from the previous season and added a new pink uniform, which was worn in the SEC-clinching win over Texas A&M.

2016-2017
The breakthrough season. In 2017, the Bulldogs earned a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and fought their way to the program's first national championship appearance with OT wins over 1 seeds Baylor and UConn, breaking the latter's 111-game win streak. The Bulldogs wore 8 uniforms in the 16-17 season; the regular white, maroon, and black uniforms were updated with the contrasting shoulder tops being removed and the shorts design being simplified. Gray and white "State" alternates were added; the "Think Pink" uniforms worn the previous season were the only non-new uniform worn. For the postseason, Adidas gave the Bulldogs special "Made in March" uniforms; these were worn in the Bulldogs' memorable postseason run, including the iconic upset of UConn.

2015-2016
The 2015-16 season saw Mississippi State make its first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2010, and first ever under Schaefer. The Bulldogs' three regular uniforms remained unchanged that season, but the "Think Pink" uniforms were updated to feature a less gaudy design. With white as a base color, the pink elements were constrained to the side panels and collar.

2014-2015
In year three under Vic Schaefer, Mississippi State made its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2010, advancing to the Round of 32. The Bulldogs wore the same four uniforms as they had the previous season, with both the white and maroon uniforms being worn in NCAA Tournament games.

2013-2014
In Vic Schaefer's second season, the Bulldogs updated to a newer Adidas template. The new uniforms featured contrasting shoulder tops an an angled, thin striping pattern. White, Maroon, and Black versions were worn. New pink uniforms, very busy even by Adidas standards, were worn in "Think Pink" games in March.

2012-2013
In the first season under Vic Schaefer, Mississippi State debuted a slightly updated set of maroon and white uniforms. A black version of this set was used in promotional materials, but from what I can tell was never worn in a game. Pink-accented uniforms were worn in 2013, for the "Think Pink" game against LSU.
