March 29: vs Southern Miss- W

The Bulldogs wore the Maroon MS jersey with white pants Tuesday night in their midweek win over Southern Miss at Trustmark Park.

Here's an updated look at the uniform stats after the series vs Georgia and midweek game vs. Southern Miss:

The Maroon MS jerseys have been the go-to jerseys this year- they've been worn exclusively in three weekend series.  In 13 games, the Maroon MS jerseys have a 9-3-1 record.

The White MS jerseys have been worn frequently on Saturdays, and were also worn in the Thursday game vs Georgia.  In a total of 6 games, the White MS jerseys have a 4-2 record.

The Digital Camo pullovers, an Adidas templated design from 2015, have unfortunately returned from last year.  In 3 games, the Digital Camo pullovers have a 2-1 record.

The Black 85 pullovers have been worn twice with white pants and maroon hats.  In 2 games, the Black 85 pullovers with white pants and maroon hats have a 2-0 record.

The Black 85 pullovers have been worn once with white pants and black hats.  In 1 game, the Black 85 pullovers with white pants and black hats have a 1-0 record.

March 24-26: SEC Series 2: Georgia- W,W,L

In their first Thursday-Friday-Saturday series of the year, the Bulldogs finally switched up their uniforms after wearing the Maroon MS jersey with white pants exclusively for the last three weekends.  As they did last year in Thursday games vs. LSU and South Carolina, the Bulldogs wore the White MS jerseys in their Thursday night win.  On "Maroon Friday," they went back to the Maroon MS jersey with white pants.  On Saturday, they again wore the White MS jersey in their lone loss of the weekend.

March 22: Mississippi Valley State- W

The Bulldogs broke out a new combo in their midweek win over Mississippi Valley State, wearing a solid black hat for the first time in a few years (last year's black cap had a white front panel.)  While we could do better, the Black 85 jerseys and white pants are certainly better than the camo that doomed us last week.

Tuesday's combo was the sixth of the year for the Bulldogs.  Here's an updated look at the uniform stats after the first week of SEC play:

The Maroon MS jerseys have been the go-to jerseys this year- they've been worn exclusively in the last three weekend series.  In 11 games, the Maroon MS jerseys have a 7-3-1 record.

The White MS jerseys were worn in doubleheaders on Saturdays in the first two weekend series.  In a total of 4 games, the White MS jerseys have a 3-1 record.

The Digital Camo pullovers, an Adidas templated design from 2015, have unfortunately returned from last year.  In 3 games, the Digital Camo pullovers have a 2-1 record.

The Black 85 pullovers have been worn twice with white pants and maroon hats.  In 2 games, the Black 85 pullovers with white pants and maroon hats have a 2-0 record.

The Black 85 pullovers have been worn once with white pants and black hats.  In 1 game, the Black 85 pullovers with white pants and black hats have a 1-0 record.

The Mossy Oak Camo pullovers were introduced in a partnership between Mossy Oak, Adidas, and Mississippi State.  In 1 game, the Mossy Oak Camo pullovers have an 0-1 record.

March 18-20: SEC Series 1: at Vanderbilt- W,W,L

The Bulldogs stuck with the Maroon MS jerseys and white pants again all series for the third weekend in row and, like last week, came away with a series win.  While I would like to see a bit more variety (Maroon 85, Gray, etc...), it's hard to complain when you have a classic recognizable look and are winning games at the same time.

March 15-16: vs Eastern Kentucky, Oral Roberts- L,L

Camo is bad, guys.

Last week, Mossy Oak announced that they had given their official camo pattern to Adidas and Mississippi State to create a second camo jersey for the Bulldogs.  I'm not going to lie, I actually liked these at first.  Crazy, I know, but it made a ton of sense from a marketing perspective and it was incredibly appropriate for a team from Mississippi.  Being born and raised here, camo MSU gear is a common sight.  Seeing a version with the maroon and white 85 script actually looked good.  But the idea works better as a t-shirt, or even a fashion jersey.  It did not look good on the field, and the accompanying play did not help its case.

Wearing the camo jerseys, the Bulldogs blew leads of 7-1 and 12-6 (in the eight inning, no less) after pulling starters.  You would think, after losing one in camo, they would learn the lesson that you should never wear camo baseball jerseys.  I even tweeted that exact statement last night.  However, on Wednesday, the Bulldogs took the field wearing their other- digital- camo jerseys.  Again, they suffered another embarrassing midweek loss.

Camo is bad.  Especially when we have other jerseys, such as the Maroon 85 jerseys, that haven't even been worn yet this season.  Even further, the White 85 jerseys have not been worn since 2014- bringing those back would be a step in the right direction.

Let's dive into the uni stats as we head into SEC play.  Eighteen games in, the Bulldogs have worn only 5 jerseys, and have only worn white pants.  At this point last year, they had worn 8 combos, only two of which (Maroon MS and White MS) overlap with what has been worn thus far this year.

The Maroon MS jerseys have been worn more than any other- they were worn on Fridays during the first two weekend series and then were worn exclusively in the third and fourth weekend series.  In 8 games, the Maroon MS jerseys have a 5-2-1 record.

The White MS jerseys were worn in doubleheaders on Saturdays in the first two weekend series.  In a total of 4 games, the White MS jerseys have a 3-1 record.

The Digital Camo pullovers, an Adidas templated design from 2015, have unfortunately returned from last year.  In 3 games, the Digital Camo pullovers have a 2-1 record.

The Black 85 pullovers have been worn twice, both times with white pants and maroon hats.  In 2 games, the Black 85 pullovers have a 2-0 record.

The Mossy Oak Camo pullovers were introduced this Tuesday in a partnership between Mossy Oak, Adidas, and Mississippi State.  In 1 game, the Mossy Oak Camo pullovers have an 0-1 record.

March 8,11-13: vs South Alabama, Oregon- W,W,W,W

Similarly to last weekend, the Bulldogs wore the Maroon MS jersey with white pants in all three games in their weekend sweep of Oregon, this time citing the fact that they "worked" for a win the previous day.  In the midweek game vs South Alabama, the Bulldogs wore the Black 85 jersey with white pants and maroon hat.

March 1,4-6: vs Alcorn State, at UCLA, at USC, vs Oklahoma- W, L, W, T

If you were expecting or hoping for some different uniforms for the Bulldogs, you were left disappointed.  In their first midweek game on Tuesday, they wore the same camo jerseys as they did this past Sunday.  All weekend out in California, they stuck with the Maroon MS jersey and white pants in all three games.
