— MSU Football EQ (@SpartanFB_eq) September 12, 2015 Michigan State received a fresh new set of uniforms from Nike that were unveiled on Thursday, and the new set includes an alternate bronze helmet and green and bronze jersey.

The green and white jerseys and pants are actually relatively unchanged from what they’ve been wearing over the past few years. The biggest change is new trim for the shoulders and the side of the pants that includes a “Greek key” pattern, as Nike describes it, which can best be seen here:

While the standard home and away uniforms have relatively small changes, their new alternates are very different. They feature a bronze helmet with a green logo, moving down to a green jersey with bronze and black accents (pictured above) on the shoulders and pants.

The new alternates are pretty reminiscent of their 2011 Pro Combat uniforms they wore against Michigan back in 2011. Check out Nike’s site for more photos of the new uniforms.
