So, that was exciting. It's a great opportunity and obviously now we need to play well in them. Having a say in such matters is indicative of the ownership the players are afforded within the program. During their individual meetings, the players can talk to Dantonio about any topic including: playing time, academics, family, girlfriends and uniforms.
Coach Dantonio listened to Will, and listens to his players in general. It's exciting to be a part of it, and it also shows the players have a voice in this program. The helmets will be painted in a textured bronze matte finish and outfitted with black facemasks. The trademark ancient Spartan helmet silhouette logo that appears on MSU's regular helmets in white will be in green, as will the tapered center stripe.
The jerseys will be in the same shade of dark green introduced for home uniforms last season, but will have black sleeves and black V-neck collar. The word "Spartans" will appear in black across the chest.
Bronze numbers will be trimmed in black and the words "Molon Labe," the defiant battle cry King Leonidas issued to his warriors and is translated to mean "come and get them," will appear inside the back of the collar. Players' last names will be replaced with "Spartans" in black in the center of the back shoulders. The players will wear black pants with a bronze helmet logo on the hip and green accents near the knee. The players will wear green calf socks, and the predominant color of the shoes will be bronze with green accents.
Players, such as receivers, who wear gloves, will be able to form a complete picture of the helmet logo when they stretch their arms out with their palms facing out, and put their hands together.
Nike is providing the uniforms at no additional cost. They are currently scheduled to be worn only in the Michigan game. What will become of the uniforms after the game has yet to be determined. For those who are uncomfortable with the way Michigan State has tinkered with its uniform in recent years, it should be noted that based on research done for the book, "Michigan State Football - They Are Spartans" Arcadia , occasional changes are more a part of school tradition than a singular look that has withstood the test of time.
In the '30s, Michigan State College teams wore black and gold and sported winged helmets even before that certain team down the road did. White helmets didn't catch on after a couple games in the '50s, either, nor did a monochromatic uniform consisting of green helmets, jerseys and pants.
The helmet has generally been decorated with one stripe, but there have been years when it sported three and times when it had none. If you don't label yourself a diehard fan of Cousins, then I say pass the buck and get another MSU hoodie.
If you want something that resembles the jersey, I think you should spend the extra five dollars and get the actual jersey because the hoodie replica only does so much to resemble the jersey.
Well, it's the latest fashion trend, obviously. But in all seriousness, the hat is what the latest pop culture trend is, and that's retro snap-back hats. The hat is all black with a black snap-back adjuster, and on the hat is the bronze Spartan logo in the front with "Molon Labe" stitched on the side. Under the bill is dark green with the Greek pattern that is also on the gloves. I'm loving the "Molon Labe" on the side. By the way, that roughly translates to "Come and take them. Yes, but only if you can pull off the snap-back look.
Some people, namely myself and everyone else with a skinny head, just look odd wearing it. If you can rock it though, I say buy it. The price is average compared to other hats, and it's a great way to sport the look of the new jerseys. This is a T-shirt made for the fans, and you probably won't see this on the sidelines of the game. The graphic in front is the recently iconic "gloved salute" with the bronze logo set in the middle.
On the left sleeve "Spartans" is printed in bronze. Sweet picture of the gloves on it, and it makes it look as if it is illuminating on the shirt. With not a lot to say in the last section, I definitely think this is a great buy.
Most of the fans find the gloves the best part of the uniform, and the shirt pays homage to the brilliant design. For the traditional fans it's not out of left field since the main color is green rather than black or bronze.
A great gift idea or something nice to buy yourself if you're looking to get a piece of the Pro Combat series. This is another shirt built just for the fans. This shirt's graphic resembles the helmets that will be used for the game, but it has more of an ancient Spartan twist to it.
The reason it is more pricey than the last shirt is because this one has Nike Dri-Fit technology. On the left sleeve is a rubber Spartan emblem that is sewn on. If you are willing to fork over 30 smackaroos for a T-shirt, then I say go for it. You are getting great quality with your T-shirt and an even better look wearing it.
It commemorates the day with the helmet design and you can wear the shirt for various occasions. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!
