Michigan State Football: Top 5 Spartan uniforms of all time

2. Nike Pro Combat (2011)

These, for a long time, were my favorite uniforms in the history of sports. As I’ve gotten older though, the design seems a little bit dated, and so they’ve fallen to the No. 2 spot.

The gold helmets were a thing of beauty. I’d be ashamed of this university if it didn’t bring them back sometime in the near future. To think that Michigan State has gone from this to the vomit-inducing neons in just a decade is enough torture for me.

And as you saw in my number three choice, I’m a huge fan of the green on black. Something about it just looks more intimidating in a uniform than the normal whites. The green-gold-black combination is easily the best we’ve ever seen in East Lansing. It looks even better in contrast to Michigan’s awful bumblebee uniforms that they had to wear against us that year.
