New Basketball Jerseys please...!!

Many of you may/may not agree but I'm sick of looking at our jerseys. The Baby blues are sweet but its about time for a new design.

I realize that many, many teams now utilize similar designs, but I still love the look of our uniforms, especially the baby blues and the golds. Thought I heard on here that Wojo was anti-baby blue or something as it is too close in color or reminded him of the Tar Heels but I that could have been BS. (don't remember seeing teal and of course everything on Scoop is absolute fact )  Would be cool for them to bust out some retros/throwbacks for some games especially considering our extensive cutting-edge, uniform legacy.

I think MU's jerseys are a good blend of the past with the present.
During the 1990s and 2000s I felt like there was a real identity crisis.
The jerseys are unique, not cookie cutter style with a change typeface.
They are good.
When the Nuggets unveiled their alternates a few years ago Marquette's were recognized as part of the inspiration.

If you have another option please post, but I think it would be a mistake to change for the sake of change?

Like the current jerseys as well, though the baby blues don't cut it with me.  Really not an MU color.  Stick with the dark blue, gold and home whites.

Nothing like being so retro you're progressive. The only way to one up our retro inspired jerseys is to go DEEPER into the past:

[Blue Horseshoe]

Uniform designs follow patterns. MU and many other schools have been using the current design since 2007. Call this a hunch, but I believe that a forthcoming trend will be based on the Cincinnati Royals jerseys.




In 2011, Xavier took note and showcased their own version. At the time I hated it, but now it looks pretty good. I am not sure if they ever wore this design during a game.



In 2012, the Oklahoma City Thunder added an alternate jersey with a similar design.



This brings us to the MU jersey design from 1969-1972. It would need to be updated, but it fits the general template. Jerel even wore them for a photo shoot in 2007 or 2008.

Especially because they caused the team to lose every time they wore them on national television.

[oldwarrior81]

there were a lot of big vertical stripes around the time Marquette was using the jersey with the number in a circle.
Atlanta, Baltimore, Pacers, Nets, 76ers and Miami (ABA) with vertical stripes.  Buffalo and Portland also used the broad diagonal stripes.

Maybe we should go to Kentucky for inspiration.   They let us have Ellenson, maybe they will let us have a good uni design.

I like the color scheme we have. I think they mix our historical colors with a modern design. We need some consistency over a long period of time.

I have it on very good authority that the Ellenson commitment was a hoax, and that he'd never come to MU because he hates the design of MU's uniforms.

4. it is not worth the time nor money to change uniform design (although I have no idea about how much time norr money)
5. uniforms don't matter anyway
6. apocalypse - our season will be lost because we won't redesign uniforms (sarcasm)
7 what we got is OK because Wojo OK'd them
8. I like them therefore don't mess with uniforms
9. uniforms do not make the player
10. what MU has is good enough - we don't need to try to be better - the Athl Dept knows best
11. My wife likes them so they are OK
12. Chuck Norris likes what we have and wears it

Seton Hall already tried that for one game back in the early 90s.  As you can imagine, they got mocked hard by fans and the media and the experiment lasted one game.

don't forget UK denim jerseys of the 90's.  With matching shoes.
Or the shorts with the oversized white stripes.  Which were supposed to be wildcat claw marks.

BTW, and if you are still whining about the video, I actually have a fairly good idea about the time and money it takes.  It isn't as easy as you make it sound.

Psh, give me photo shop and a few bucks and I'll make sure both Jeff Goldblum AND the dinosaurs from jurassic park make it in. (RIP Jeff Goldblum).

Clearly navy and gold (or marquette blue and marquette gold per the MU website) are the primary colors, but baby blue is an accent color and has been prominently featured for a number of years in the official team warmups with many of the shooting shirts being primarly baby blue. I don't know what it is about it, I just like the look and I have been a big fan of all 4 uniform options as is.

It seems that the baby blue gear/jerseys started surfacing (or re-surfacing) around the time we joined the Big East.

To the original poster's point...  2014-15 is the 98th season of Marquette basketball...

So you're saying we need to go UCLA and get a 100 year commemorative one. Unfortunately no "c's" in Marquette.

Shouldn't the claw marks be on their opponents?  This makes them look like they all have itchy legs.

Those UK denim unis were the worst ever...until ND came out with the shamrock shakes.

I like the baby blues, especially since almost every other team wears navy or red.

They've gotten laZy with the uni's.  Looking more and more like unorthodox and consistently changing uniforms was an Al thing more than an
MU thing.

Actually, the C's that UCLA used were for the 100th national championship the university had won, nothing to do with 100 years of athetics.
