Liberty Bowl uniforms?

[patdog]

If so, I like.

Looks great without the Tampax stripe

Might be wrong, but that in no way looks real. Will believe when I see it on Wayne mannequin

 

[Thrl595]

They look like ****.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Agreed. Do we even own that logo anymore?

 

[rabiddawg]

Hey they look better than some of the uni combos we have worn this year. I kind of like the throwback look.

 

[patdog]

The bulldog head? Why wouldn't we? We used that logo from 1963-1965 and I wouldn't think anyone else would have trademarked it.

 

[GatorBaseballFan]

No

 

[HD6]

That was quick.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Once I found out we didn't actually own the MSJ

I decided not to take anything for granted.

 

[patdog]

We actually do own the MSJ we wore during the Felker years. Nike owns the interlocking MSU we wore during the Sherrill years.

 

[patdog]

Yes it was. But they do look pretty good, except for the numbers on the front of the helmets.

 

[AFDawg]

Can we at least get a Niblett's Tidbit to mollify our disappointment?

 

[uptowndawg]

I think those look awesome. Just not sure about numbers on the forehead. Does anyone know where this came from? The signature in the bottom right corner may be a hint, but I don't recognize it.

 

[dawgstudent]

I think it was the guy who made the This Team Makes Me Drink - Johnny Chapps or something like that.

 

[OzarkaNSW]

Nevermind the throwback, just put numbers on both sides of helmet

 

[The Peeper]

I don't see any Adidas anywhere on it, that usually stands out. Not sure about the shoes because Adidas does have a stripe trademark just not sure thats it.

These drawings are just concept designs from JonnyChapps. He took the look from the actual uniforms State wore in 1963 against NCST in the Liberty Bowl.

Here is a link about that game and some photos. Cool throwback look IMO.

We were being confused w/ the Black Bears even in 1963,

Thirty-eight pickets from two civil rights groups marched for 50 minutes around Philadelphia Stadium Saturday, protesting the participation of Mississippi State in the Liberty Bowl football game. There were no incidents.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People supplied 30 pickets and the student non-violent coordinating committee had eight representatives in the line. Pickets carried signs saying "Discrimination Isn't Sport." They sang freedom songs.

Cecil Moore, head of the Philadelphia branch of the NAACP, called off the march less than an hour after it began. He said he acted because of the sparse attendance of 8,309 spectators at the game and bitter cold weather.

Moore said the demonstration was aimed only at Mississippi State which “has a decided program of segregation."
