Yep. a tribute to law enforcement. Same reason that to this day the highway patrol wears a patch with 3-7-77. Unless of course you think they're idiots too...

(Vigilance Committee) in Virginia City, Montana. People who found the numbers '3-7-77' painted on their tent or cabin knew that they had better leave the area or expect to be on the receiving end of vigilantism. The numbers are used on the shoulder patch of the Montana Highway Patrol, who claim they do not know the original meaning of the symbol, though the Association of Montana Troopers web site says "Regardless of its meaning, however, 3-7-77 is emblematic of the first organized law enforcement in Montana. The Montana Highway Patrol, in adopting this early symbol, honors the first men in the Montana Territory who organized for the safety and welfare of the people. For that same reason, the Association of Montana Troopers has carried on that tradition by placing the legendary 3-7-77 on their patch as well."[1]
The symbol also appears on the flight suits of pilots of the Montana Air National Guard, and the Flight Patch of the Montana Army National Guard Medevac unit (C Co 1-189th GSAB - Vigilantes). Further, it appears under the bottle cap of certain varieties of Big Sky Brewing Company beer.[2]

Various theories have been put forth about its meaning, including:

The numbers represent the dimensions of a grave, 3 feet by 7 feet by 77 inches.[3]
Frederick Allen, in his book A Decent Orderly Lynching, says the number meant the person had to buy a $3 ticket on the next 7:00 a.m. stagecoach to take the 77-mile trip from Helena to Butte.[4]
The number set may have something to do with the date March 7, 1877; the numbers were first used in that decade and first appeared in print later in that decade of the 19th century. The first Masonic meeting in Bannack, Montana took place March 7, 1877. Many members of this lodge were also the original Vigilantes.[citation needed]

Those uni's are amazing.

Hopefully they let us wear them this time....

Babies.

They can't stop us from wearing all white, which is our regular away color. They did stop us from wearing gold one year, however. Still kicked their ass!

Best team Montana State has ever fielded and we were just too strong, much too physical and dominated them in our home away from home.

Supporting hate like this is very disconcerting in this day and age. Gotta wonder what the administration at MSU is thinking with this ugly decision.

Best team ever fielded? Denarius, Cody, Brad, and Tanner all were literally being held together by a thread because of injuries during the year. 2013 was a hotly contested game and Jordan Johnson made some amazing throws in the second half. Both teams were equally physical in that one. Fun game to watch. But yeah nowhere near the best team ever fielded. Man....those two fumbles were killers in that game.

In this day and age some people find hate in everything.

I love the 3-7-77!

Once again the good guys will be wearing white!!

I was at that game. It was the first time in in years and years that I felt we had the better team. The loss was devastating. Still hurts. It's what makes the Brawl so great - you are either euphoric or crushed. There is no in between.

The Griz won't see what hits them with the snow storm on and off the field.
