Dear Mississippi State,

[DawgTilDead]

Can we pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase get one <17>in color of maroon?!?!?!?! Am i the only one that notices this? Some State shirts looks crimson, some look razorback red, and some actually look good. In the picture of Dixon and co. in front of the bookstore sporting the new jerseys, the Helmet and Jerseys are two completely different colors. In my opinion the darker the maroon, the better looking. Our basketball jerseys are the shade they should be, they look great. We've got to do something about this. I'm not expecting Mississippi State Maroon to be the next Carolina Blue, but can't we atleast get our jerseys, helmets, logos, and apparel to look the same? Texas A&M doesn't seem to have this problem. Is this too much to ask?

Dear Dawgtildead,

please find something else to ***** about. Considering you are judging the color from a picture, there are rules of science with this color prism thing,light angles, contrast, light exposure
all that technical ******** that can make the same shirt look a shitload of different shades of colors with a photo.

If you don't think ever other school does not have this problem you are a first-class Id!ot

...leave it to Miss. State to flip-flop & waffle between a dozen shades of maroon.

Look at Texas A&M: They have one shade of maroon & stick with it.

Why can't Mississippi State University do the same?

What are the colors of Maroon that MSU uses? Can you name them?

Two objects of the same color may not show up the same if they are different materials. Reflectivity and the nature of the material interacting with the light will reflect different amounts of different wavelengths of light. Also, two objects of different colors may show up the same. A simple experiment, while not color, is to take a pictures of a white, gray, and black t-shirt. Do one shirt at a time and only capture the t-shirt in the frame. The results may surprise you.

Because of inconsistencies of material, some organizations will define official colors as a pantone color. Pantone is designed for use on multiple materials and will guarantee a certain color. For example, several countries and states define their flag colors as pantone colors so printed materials and fabric flags appear the same.

Watching the LSU-Ark game yesterday, they showed the head coach and an assistant beside each other.

You could clearly see that the assistant coach's pullover had more of a red tint to it.
I don't know what Arkansas actual color is, but the two colors were clearly not the same.

 

[ScoobaDawg]

and the standards are all right here

Including Pantone 202 (Maroon)

so there ya go Ronny, it is all standard to one color already.
A big problem that people always complain about has been apparel.
A lot of things should be better now with moving to Adidas for offical gear, and other fan items are
now with another 3rd party company we signed a deal with when Greg came on board.

and was struck by how all the blue was the same blue.

I think we'll begin to see the maroon get closer together. Much of the last twenty years of differing shades of maroon can pretty easily be attributed to an AD and athletic department that didn't particularly give a ****.

Go to Bulldawgjunction.com and look at the three sweatshirt at the top of the homepage. They look TOTALLY different. One is almost purple. This is due to "unofficial" apparel i'm sure, but it still sucks.

...I don't think they really care.
