Keep our uniforms

Keep our uniforms

Target:
MSU alumni and football fans
Sponsored by: 

The Michigan State football uniforms are now as good as any in college football. They are classy, uncluttered, and reminiscent of the uniforms worn by the championship teams of the 60s.  However, over the last couple decades our identity has changed with each new coach.  And each time we change we are not always as recognizable.  Other teams with great football history have kept their uniforms fairly constant over the years, so if you were take a look at pictures from 10 or 20 years ago, they look about the same today.  That gives a team more tradition and makes them more recognizable. So what I am proposing is that we freeze them permanently and make little to no changes year to year. 


A survey of hundreds of people has shown, with the exception of minor preferences, everyone is proud of the uniforms that the 2007 Spartans donned.  


This petition will be sent to the MSU athletic office requesting that the Spartan football team maintain its identity and keep the basic design of the uniforms hence forward.  The only exceptions would be for special occasions (throwbacks & alternates), the addition of a single pin stripe matching the championship teams of the past, and updates for new materials and slight changes in styling.


This is a topic that many Spartans have deep feelings about, but  the important thing is that we move forward with one identity.  Please sign this petition and help our voices be heard!

They look pretty good, I would just have to say that the Type on the front is to small and too close to the numbers. This blows my mind, that no one said anything at the press check. Other than that we do need some Consistency. The color green also seems a bit to bright.

I agree except for one small addition. Add a single thin stripe to the pants!!!

I agree, I love our uniforms as they are. No need to change them anymore! Maybe a single stripe on the pants would look fine, but that's it. Stripe or no stripe, really makes no difference to me though. Just keep it consistent!!!

I am 21 years young and I am an avid MSU fan. I am a season ticket holder for football and a member of the Ralph Young Athletic Fund, that I donate to it as much as possible. I would like to see a tradition, from here on out, that our uniforms DO NOT change. I believe that, at the most, we should add a single stripe to our football pants. Also, I think that throwback jerseys would be appropriate.

Let's build the Michigan State brand! By changing the one mnemonic that helps people across the nation recognize the school, we're eroding our identity and familiarity. Any great product, service, or company will tell you that consistency in their look will help build their brand.

Restoring the helmet stripe and the former font for the lettering on the jerseys was critical to restoring tradition to Michigan State football. We now have returned to our classic uniform which should be maintained year after year.
