Talking about stripes is something you typically associate with schools outfitted by adidas but Missouri is hoping to change that around a bit this week.
Ahead of the Tigers upcoming spring game, the school unveiled an updated helmet for the team in 2019 that features a much wider stripe, a new ‘Make it Right’ sticker on the back and a secondary throw back design with the old tiger paw logo to boot.

In case you were wondering, that ‘Make it Right’ sticker is indeed a message about the school’s upcoming appeal with the NCAA regarding the team’s 2019 bowl ban and associated penalties from their recent infractions case. Given how these things can sometimes stretch for months at a time, it’s unknown whether the team will sport the sticker for the regular season but you can definitely bet the entire program will be wanting to use Saturday’s spring game in Columbia to send a message to the folks in Indianapolis well beyond the decal.
