Thanks Dupes! 

Two and a half months later, here we are. Thanks to those who suggested I work with Jesse, he was super easy to work with. I didn't have anything crazy going on, so my order was smooth and took about 8 weeks to arrive at my door.  

Since MSU PS gloves are rare, I decided to make my own. I guess these are my MSU "tribute" gloves, as I want them. They are 844 Pros.  MSH3 palms/gussets, black liner, only cuff roll branding to keep them simple and clean.  In addition to Spartans on the cuff, I have my wife's initials and a reference to our pets on the side padding, all matching the tufftek to keep it more discreet and clean looking.  

Agreed...never seen a pickup where red was "light"...maybe once or twice in the past where there was just an abundance of players wearing black and a couple of guys wearing red were put on white to balance things out, but generally it's just a given they are dark. 

I think it's pretty simply, avoid the colors that are in between to avoid confusion...beige, gray, yellow.  I will admit that I once wore a yellow jersey to drop-in, knowing full well I would get flamed for it. But it was my Nike Swift Team Deutschland practice jersey that I had just got and I didn't care :-) It was with a group I skate with all the time, so the chirping was in good fun.  Plus everyone on dark was wearing black that day so it was easy to tell I was light.  I save that jersey for stick time now...

Just to confirm, are those Pro Surpreme lowers, not a padded shell? They look like lowers, but missing the thigh pads. And assuming I'm correct, I'm calling dibs if you choose to split the set up.  

Still looking. I get the feeling I may have to wait for the next Minnesota/Iowa Wild gear sale before I see these pop up again.
