Miserable night

[thekimmer]

Started with the mr clean unis. I despise the white helmets. I am not blaming them for the loss but GET RID OF THE &$&@&$ BUTT UGLY THINGS !

Then we get an absolute butt whipping in every phase of the game. Give up a TD on the first play. Nothing to cheer about. Nothing. At this point I am dining on crow as I saw no way Uga would blow us out but I was dead wrong. We were not ready for this. We are not as good as we thought we were. We might get there but we are not there yet.

I do blame the white helmets

Every era where Miss. State wore white helmets, our football team was a **** show.

Our only SEC championship and back-to-back National Titles? Maroon Helmets
State 6, Bama 3? Maroon Helmets
1998 SEC West title? Maroon

White is the color of losers.

Reality Bites.

Am I the only persons who misses seeing us in the Maroon helmets, white jerseys and Maroon pants? I loved those away game combination. Maybe because it’s what the Sherill teams wore on road games while I was there.

The beating was so bad, it's Monday and Uga is still running up the score on poor Bully.

 

[RocketDawg]

I like those too. But I hope I never see us in SWAC-inspired all maroon at a home game again.

I will forever associate white helmets with the Croom era. They look like **** too.

We got rid of the MSU logo for branding purposes, but when we play a big game on ESPN we wear a different color helmet. I don't get it.

White hats = surrender

If we never wear white helmets again, it'll be too soon.

I know it's ridiculous but I commented on the white helmets as soon as I saw them.
The first time I saw them was the Snow Bowl. That was a sloppy game that we won. But after that, all downhill. The end of the era of the Kang, and then the Croom era began. White helmets for both.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

I really like the white helmets but they should only be reserved for 11:00 games when it is hot and against vastly inferior opponents. Night games i think the contrast messes with everyone's vision

Only Mizzou in '15 and OM in '16

Those are the only two wins that I can remember during the Mullen era where the team wore white helmets: Mizzou in 2015 and last year's Egg Bowl.

The much stronger association with white helmets is humiliating defeat, such as the self-conscious Snow Bowl 2.0. . . and the entire Croom era.

In the hierarchy of gratuitous alternate unis that apparently piss off the dead Indians, the order sorts like this:

1. White helmets
2. Black jerseys
3. Any gold whatsoever
4. Non-traditional helmet logos, like the giant bulldog face​

It's pretty straightforward. Just stay away from all of those, but especially the top two. Somebody tell Adidas.

For whatever reason, silver helmets seem immune so far from negative karma--or may even offset the negative effects of black jersey combos, such as the aTm game last season.

Therefore, if we must venture away from maroon headgear, which we do not, we should just stick to silver.

Why do you consider all-maroon to be SWAC inspired? Plenty of teams in the NFL and major colleges wear the same color helmet, jersey and pants at least for some home games. It's no big deal and looks good, especially as a once or twice a year thing.

White hats should be worn by the other Mississippi school only
