The Michigan State University Spartans is one of nine teams chosen to wear the innovative Nike Pro Combat system in the 2011 season. When the gates lift for its battle against archrival Michigan on Oct. 15, the Spartans will sport a unique design with bronze colorways, reminiscent of the armor of the original Spartans.

Thanks for the tip Norman B. More pictures after the break (read more)...

The uniform begins at the baselayer, as strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones help minimize distraction and optimize protective coverage. It features customizable protection, incorporating a thin, incredibly strong carbon fiber plate. The Nike Pro Combat Deflex padding, combined with strategically placed cooling zones helps wick away sweat to keep competitors cool.



The complete Spartan uniform to be worn in the University of Michigan at Michigan State rivalry game. Bronze is visible throughout the uniform, implying strength and durability synonymous with the Spartan name. Even the players' gloves bear the Spartan symbol.



The bronze-colored helmet has cooling vents and a Spartan logo.





The "going away" view of the Spartans' Pro Combat uniform. The Flywire-threaded collar allows for more breathability.



The Spartans' Pro Combat uniforms has this inscription on the collar: "Molon Labe." This was supposedly the defiant response of King Leonidas of Sparta to Xerxes, ruler of Persia, when told to lay down arms and surrender before the Battle of Thermopylae. It means "come and take them."

About Us

The MSU Football Players Association (MSUFPA) is an organization that was formed in midyear 2004 and was given its birth by Head Coach John L. Smith. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2005 that the association got functioning, but when it did a strong force was created within the family of Spartans and a tradition had begun. The purpose of the Association is to perpetuate the Spartan football tradition and to enhance the success of the MSU football program. Our goal is to sustain a working relationship and to provide a network of communication to link the membership with the existing football program.
