2002 Michigan State Spartans

2002
Michigan State Spartans
B1G

 


Helmet:  A-
Home Jersey: B-
Away Jersey: B-
Pants: A

Final Verdict:

Good Riddance

This is an odd little number from recent MSU history. While this may not be the worst uniform the Spartans have ever had, it is the most unusual and bland. I get that they were trying to do something unique, but its rather uninspiring. The helmet is fine, other than the "S". It has always been my understanding that the "S" was the academic logo and the spartan helmet was the athletic logo. The numbers are fine, but they should be on the sleeves. They obviously left out the numbers for this strange piping. I know I have seen that design before, not on a football uniform, but I don't recall where. It just doesn't look right, kinda makes the arms look puffy. In addition, the "State" on the uniform is kinda lackluster. Tons of schools have "State", this should be unique. Not much to say about the pants, they are fine as is. All in all, Michigan State has one of the best uniform histories, but this is not one of the high points. Thankfully this uniform only stayed for one season then left like Bobby Williams.
