Damn fashionsitas!

Screw you whiney 17's for bitching about the uniforms thus ruining my Sweep prediction. Y'all owe me a steak!*

However, they were quite atrocious.

The white ones from Thursday need to be permanent. These should be our 3:

Those are tradition. We were wearing those when Dudy Noble was the ONLY place to watch baseball in the country. Stick with what works. Add in some retro 80s or pinstripes if you want, but we should stick with the foundation. Maroon hats ONLY.

That crap we wore Saturday looks like some nonsense Louisiana Lafayette would trot out. Have some respect for ourselves. The junk last year in Hoover was just an abomination and if anyone wants to entertain firing Cohen, it should be over that rather than results. They were that bad.

Leave the uniform wackiness for football, the sport where we have no tradition.

 

[WayboDawg]

Those white ones in your first picture look sharp as a tack. And I agree, we should stick with traditional looking unis. In fact, we should put it in writing that "under no circumstances are the baseball uniforms to be drastically altered" anytime we come to terms with a new uniform company.

Disagree with the white ones. These

 

[Confucius Say]

The white with maroon pinstripe and the all greys are the best. Not even close.

All white look better than the pins.

 

[WayboDawg]

I've never been a big fan of pin stripes. Its not a bad look per se, just not a favorite. Not a big fan of the maroon shirts either. They look like something designed for warm-ups. No question that we should always have maroon caps with the interlocking MS.

Let's do something different with the greys

Those grey ones you show scream "RON POLK FASHIONISTA'. We can do better on the grey. A solid grey with interlocking MS wouldn't be bad; a grey with STATE arched across the front would also be classic.

Like it or not, without Ron Polk we do not have much tradition. All of those uniforms are Ron Polk specialties.

Good point. I still don't think those greys are his best work. We can do better ... but it's not up to me.

I'm out.

Best 4-year period in MSU's history was the Pat McMahon years. 1 CWS, 2 super regionals, and a regional final. Polk really hasn't done anything even approaching that since 1990. And we weren't wearing any of those uniforms in the 80s.

What would the grey with pinstripes look like?

 

[Hammer Down]

The most popular era of MSU baseball was the late 80s and early 90s. Those were some of the most consistent crowds we ever had. It has been trending slowly downhill ever since then, until Cohen came in and turned it in 2012/2013. A big part of MSU's fanbase grew up going to games in that era. No clue why you are attempting to argue about this, especially since Ron Polk hired Pat McMahon and named him as the successor for the most part. I guess you just like McMahon's first name. To deny that Ron Polk built MSU baseball is just absurdity that I really should not be engaging in.

Polk himself changed the uniforms during the Polk II Error, but I am not clamoring for those, even though we had some decent success from 2004-2007, since you are cherry-picking 4 year periods for whatever reason.

I've seen a few teams wear it and it looks awesome. Mostly grey with black pinstripes but our maroon would be cool.

 

[Vice]

Sort of OT, but does anyone know where you can buy t-shirts that look like the "'85's" uniforms? I've looked around and can't find them anywhere. I've seen a few people wearing some around that got them from some type of MSU event but can't find them online anywhere. And getting a hold of some leftovers from said event feels like the "Maroon is all that matters"(or whatever it was) BS so I don't want any part of that. It would be a cool gift for someone.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

LT and Russell changed the unis during Polk II. Let us all remember that Polk himself stood up to LT and raised the cash to keep the interlocking MS on the hats.

Otherwise, we would have spotted easily the ugliest baseball lids ever with the banner MState. Which was on a few baseball unis during that stretch. Facepalm...

LATE 80s? WTF? You ever hear of guys named Clark, Palmiero, Thigpen, Brantley? Those weren't late 80s. Early 90s were a dead zone. Terrible regional performances, then we missed the regionals entirely 2 years in a row before McMahon revived the program.

Read again, and comprehend. I did not say it was more successful. I said it was the most popular, and it was. I was there, and you obviously were not, or you would not be arguing. You are simply looking at Wikipedia.

The first buildup in baseball was to 1985, then after that, the popularity soared, similar to what is happening now. Our fans did not really even show up in 2013 until the regional. But the bandwagon got bigger in 2014, just like it did back then. 1989 and 1990 were two pretty good years to be an MSU fan I would say. Dudy Noble Field was THE place to be in that era. Hopefully it becomes that again once the new stadium is built.

Iupe's in Madison has that logo/font and can make you a custom shirt. Also check the lodge and Sports Specialty in Columbus.

Thanks. Good call on Iupe's. Didn't think of that.
