It&#8217;s time for the all-black look.<\/h2>\n<p>Just as most of us predicted before the season, <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-hosting-in-state-boston-college-decommit\/\">Michigan State football<\/a> will debut its all-black look on Saturday against Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>The Spartans&#8217; official Twitter (X) account teased the look on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Saturday. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/e2AMVEfk3j\">pic.twitter.com\/e2AMVEfk3j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Michigan State Football (@MSU_Football) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MSU_Football\/status\/1714398052864430455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s just a video of a black Nike show walking up the stairs, it&#8217;s pretty clear what that means. The Spartans have yet to showcase the new all-black look that had been in the works for years and just revealed back in July, so why not against the No. 2 team in the nation?<\/p>\n<p>I have mixed feelings about this.<\/p>\n<p>One, I would almost rather hold off on debuting these new all-black uniforms until next season when we actually have a new coach and a more stable program. And two, wearing these in a potential loss to Michigan could ruin them for everyone. Heck, if the game is ugly, no one will want to see them again. Or at least they won&#8217;t be looked at the same way. People get superstitious about uniforms so if Michigan comes in and beats MSU, fans might get a bad taste in their mouths (I&#8217;m not convinced about this considering the state of the program).<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;m excited to see the players debut the new look against the No. 2 team in the country in a night game. Although the Spartans are just 2-4 and probably staring at another bowl-less season, this is the kind of excitement they need and it can&#8217;t hurt recruiting either.<\/p>\n<p>Come out in these A+ uniforms and put on a decent show against the No. 2 team in the country and get some people to buy back in.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, just use this as the one game that they&#8217;re worn in this year, and then store them away until a new head coach is roaming the sidelines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed feelings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[191,189,504],"class_list":["post-7987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
