Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi St to go along with instate schools and Clemson, Tech and FSU. The State one is a little odd, only one in that group who doesn't have much of an alumni presence locally. Maybe it's due to the Mississippi Braves (but weirdly no Ole Miss).
Anyone got pictures/links to other MLB teams that do this with SEC schools? I'd assume Reds, Cards, Astros, Rangers, Rays, Marlins....maybe Nationals?

I know the Royals do Big XII schools I was there for Kansas State night last year on the way to Omaha. I love how big league teams do this. Hope i can find a Braves Mississippi State hat

Didn't the Astros have a purple and gold Bregman jersey?

I'd complain about a lack of an LSU night but they already have Kevin Gausman giving out free souvenirs every 5th day.

Possibly I don’t know. Sounds dope though

Plus we gotta deal with Paul Byrd's trap every night on TV

Sort of.
It was part of a promotional for a street festival (Bayou Bash) that the ‘Stros hold annually.
Vouchers were available to purchase for that particular game that enabled fans to buy the purple & yellow Bregman Jersey/tee if they wanted to snag one at Street Fest (you had to be a ticket holder for that game in order to buy the jersey voucher).
Pretty sure they’re doing it again this year, if any LSU fans are interested.
Various Texas university college nights/promotionals are also held.

I’m know the Rangers have done an Arkansas night in the past. I’d love for the Braves to include Arkansas but we’re too far away.

The majority of State fans are Braves or Cardinals fans because that was who was on tv in the 80s-90s. The Braves with Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine on the mound won many a hearts in Mississippi. There are more OM fans in Memphis and Memphis has a Cardinals affiliation where as Jackson has a bigger MSU presence and has a Braves affiliation.

That makes sense then. I didn't know the Jackson makeup, but that fits.

This is the first year they've done it for UF. Probably at Chipper's request.

Pretty sure they had a UF night last year.

Incorrect. They 100% did it last year for UF. Also did it for Ole Miss last year. I got an OM one. Looks really good. Red with Navy A

I blame Chip Caray. He said they didn't do one and hates UF.
