I fine with the jersey, the helmet not so much.

I like this helmet. However, the X in JAX needs a sharper better defined intersection of the cross bars. It's very close to being an N in the picture.

1. I love the rebranding as "Jax State". Thanks to the presence of Coach Prime, the lesser JSU has taken that brand away. I mean, we can still say "JSU" but now you have to specify which one you're talking about. Thus far, Jackson State hasn't taken to calling itself "Jax State". 2. I'm OK with the jersey. I'm glad we didn't go with the 1990s bubble letters, but the new ones are a bit too generic. (I've seen several schools with that same or a VERY similar font.) 3. 315logan is right about the "X". It needs more definition. 4. A Gamecock on one side of the helmet and "Jax State" on the other would be fine. A helmet with just "Jax State"? Nah. And for No. 5: How does everyone feel about all whites? White helmet, jersey, pants? I'm not a big unicolor fan. Red jerseys, white pants. Or white jerseys, red pants. I'm not a fan of "white out" and "black out" games, so I'd prefer we not keep a unicolor alternate on hand for that purpose. I'm OK with most anything, though. Just win. The only uniform I never liked was the camo-style, and that was only because on TV (and from a reasonable distance) they looked like pajamas.

I've taken a fresh look this morning at the jersey and helmet.
Nothing has changed. I think still think they look pretty poor!

Good point about the JSU confusion.
"Jax State" is something we've always had as long as I can remember, so it feels better than trying to shift to something totally made up.
I will trust that we work the kinks out and come up with a look that works well.
I might be in the minority it sounds like, but I really liked the new unis as soon as I saw them.

No sooner did I post this than a Jackson State fan posted this on the twitterwebs: Since he was referring directly to a tweet which only mentioned "Jax State" I can only assume they use Jax State as well. I mean, I've never seen em do it. But apparently it's a thing. I almost wish we could play them just so we could stomp them into oblivion and claim all the titles -- "JSU", "Jax State", and while we're at it, "Prime University". I mean, because why stop at the easy stuff?

Don't forget on tv they also seemed to have a pinkish hue. Pinkish pajamas. Not a good look.

I was under the impression they were Jack st or Jacks maybe. The thought of Being thought of as that other JSU has always been an embarrassmentto me. Who’d want to be thought of as a half assed football team.

I mean, because why stop at the easy stuff? Someone should tell the schmuck to Google search Jax State. It is and has been our brand for ages and unlike “JSU” it only pulls up us. There’s a reason I named this website what I did.

Check out JSU.edu and who do you get? Really is the link to the real JSU.

There’s already enough confusion with MSU, ASU, UA, etc…the only Jax is us. Granted, we would be the only JSU at FBS level, but if we can build a rep as a regional power, having a distinctive identity can only help. It could potentially play a role in helping to build it. While we consider ourselves to be a small university, there are quite a few schools smaller than JSU at the FBS level. We play Tulsa this season and our enrollment is double theirs. We are around the same size as Wake Forest and La Tech. Boston College, TCU, SMU, and even Miami are similar to us in enrollment, give or take a couple thousand.

I have stated on here for years we should promote the "Jax State" brand on our uniforms. Let them have JSU.
