CONCEPT- What I would do with MSU's Baseball Jerseys

Mississippi State has the potential for a great baseball uniform set.  They look good as it is, but a few simple tweaks and they could have a classic, untouchable look.  Here, I've introduced a new, consistent number font.  That same font has been applied to the "Mississippi State" wordmark and has been used to create a new "Bulldogs" wordmark.  A Mississippi patch has been added to the sleeve of each jersey.

The white and maroon jerseys remain with the modified wordmark and number font.  The pinstripe and maroon MS jerseys also remain, with the only change being the updated number font.  The "Bulldogs" wordmark is applied to the cream jersey and to a new gray away jersey.

These changes, I believe, would unify Mississippi State's baseball brand.  Adidas would be allowed to introduce two crazy alternates a year, for use in the SEC tournament only.

2015 Season Preview

The 2015 season is almost upon us.  The Bulldogs begin play on February 15, and Collegiate Baseball has given the them a preseason ranking of 20.  The Bulldogs will have an improved offense, something that cost them late in the season last year.  The pitching is less certain, but Butch Thompson, considered by many to be the best pitching coach in the nation, will find a way to make a productive staff.

The big question about the 2015 season is uniforms.  What will Adidas roll out this year?  Early photoshoots indicate that the regular uniforms will return; hopefully some of the Adidas catastrophes are gone for good.  I'd also rather have the black uniforms not return.  But, certainty expect some new Adidas expriments around SEC tournament time.  I'm fine with alternates in the tournament.  It's the regionals, super regionals, and college world series where they should not be worn.

This year, the uni tracker will have a modified form of presentation.  The full body templates have been replaced by a flat, 2D template that shows more detail on the uniforms.  Here is a preview of all of the uniforms worn in 2014 on the new template:
