After Week One brought what many call the “classic” combo for Michigan State football, Week Two has brought another popular combo among Spartan fans.

In a video montage posted to social media featuring clips from last week’s win against Central Michigan — and video of a MSU player doing construction-type work — it has been revealed that MSU will go with a white helmet, green jersey and white pants this week against Richmond.

Some quick notes:

- This is the debut for the new white helmet with the Greek key pattern stripe. Both the green jersey and white pants were worn last week against Central Michigan.

- This game marks the third time MSU has worn white helmets, green jerseys and white pants under head coach Mel Tucker ("Gruff Sparty" helmet against Western Kentucky in 2021, opener against Western Michigan in 2022).

- This is the 29th unique uniform combo under 34 games under Tucker.

The white-green-white uniform combo debuted against Iowa in 2017 and has become a popular combination for MSU fans in the years since. Perhaps the most notable of this combination was the win in the Holiday Bowl in 2017, and the debut of the white "Gruff Sparty" helmet in 2021.

Many of my X (Twitter) followers were correct in their predictions (I was as well). As I pointed out yesterday, it is unlikely that MSU will repeat a uniform combo this season, as they have yet to wear the same combination twice in one season under Tucker.

What do you like about this uniform combo? How did we feel about the new uniform designs in action? Will we perhaps see the debut of the black shadow uniform next Washington?
