According to a release from MSU and Nike, the new uniforms include “lightweight fabric innovation built for maximum speed, ventilation and comfort” and “three distinct woven mesh fabrics for optimal thermoregulation.”
At home, the Spartans will wear green jerseys with the option of either matching green pants, or white pants. Conversely, the team will go with white jerseys and green pants on the road.
