Well... It might have something to do with us (STATE) paying a firm a million dollars to develop and market our current logos. You people need to let the MSU go. It's gone... Good bye... See ya later. We are now MState or MISSISSIPPI STATE. Not MISS. STATE or MSU. The walking bully was put down. He will be missed, but we've moved on.

//MSJ was the worst looking logo I've ever personally seen.
I get this, but it's dumb. I live in a place with a ton of Michigan alumni and I STILL mix up our logos at first glance. That was the point right, to make our logo unique? I refuse to ditch the dawg logo, the seal logo, and the MSJ... which I too think is the best logo ever at Mississippi State. They're so popular that most fans aren't going to ditch them either... so by the university spending a million plus on new logos and stuff they just stirred the pot even more because outside brands are still going to manufacture MSJ hats and stuff and you're still going to see the marching dawg on everything. Best to just embrace it, which the university isn't doing which is again.... dumb.
Instead of making god awful Egg Bowl jerseys and "Snow Bowl" jerseys for a game played in 90+ degree weather they should make a "retro" jersey from the time we dominated Ole Miss and beat A&M in a bowl game where it snowed. Instead of gold and silver looking turds of jerseys they could throw the MSJ logo on a helmet and do some piping and stripes on a modern climalite jersey. Boom. Accomplishes the same thing black, Snow Bowl, and Egg Bowl jerseys accomplish and actually makes the fans happy. I've yet to meet a fan that has the reaction the department wanted to get by introducing alt jerseys. Throwbacks would get that reaction. Can't dupe fans of MSU... we've seen it all.
