By Ethan Lee
Several classic logos are making a comeback for Mississippi State in 2018
You can now officially buy new merchandise with some classic Mississippi State logos. The Mississippi State athletic department has been teasing that they’d bring back some fan favorite logos here and there throughout the week.
Just a couple hours ago, earlier today, one of Mississippi State’s official twitter accounts hinted that the “Walking Bully” logo would be back in some form or fashion.
Well, it just so happens that the “Walking Bully” logo is officially back. And, as it turns out, a couple of other famed Mississippi State logos will be back too. Fans have apparently been clamoring for some of these classic logos and the athletic department is doing what it can to give the fans what they want.
Mississippi State’s athletic department announced earlier today that three classic logos would make a return. From the official MSU press release:
"In an effort to meet fan demand, MSU has brought back three vintage logos for the launch of the collection, including Walking Bully – a fan-favorite from the early 70’s; the Bully Flying Flag – a vintage mark formerly used by both athletics and the university; and the Flying M – a mark used in the 1960s and 70s to reinforce MSU’s strong connection to the space program and the success in producing engineering talent."

This is a great way of increasing revenue and connecting with fans, both old and new, in a new way using old logos. Kudos to you, MSU. According to Mississippi State’s twitter account, these logos will only be back around for a little while. If you want some merchandise with one (or two or three) of these logos, do so while it’s still around.
