In one of those things that some people really get into and others really could not care less about, it appears that Mississippi State has decided to break out gold helmets when the Bulldogs match up with the Ole Miss Rebels Thursday night.
Earlier this week, it looked like Mississippi State would wear all Maroon with some gold sprinkled in after a tweet about their jerseys:

John Talty from the Clarion-Ledger confirmed the news:
Not that there'd ever be reason to doubt my guy @maroonwyatt, but I confirmed MSU will be wearing the gold helmets Thursday.

They seem popular with recruits and their spokesman, Elijah Staley:
@JTalty everyone said they love em!!
