National MU Day "Stripes"

Zero chance this works.

It doesn't work when there is one color (gold) and free t-shirts on all of the seats.

Yea, seems like a cool idea. There's no chance it works if they are making people buy a $10 shirt if they sit in a section where they don't already own the color.

Aren't the 1000 pint glasses enough for you people?! You expect free shirts now?

Agreed that it has little chance of success.  But, I'll pin it here just so that more people can see it.  We'll do what we can....

FANS CAN STRIPE BMO HARRIS BRADLEY CENTER ON FEB. 18
Purchase t-shirts now for National Marquette Day vs. Xavier

Jan. 18, 2017
3-Point Play Mini Plan | Navy T-shirts | Gold T-Shirts | Championship Blue T-shirts

Fans in attendance for the National Marquette Day matchup with nationally ranked Xavier on Feb. 18 will have the unique opportunity to “stripe” the BMO Harris Bradley Center by wearing special T-shirts depending on the section they are sitting in for the game.

The Gold, Navy and Championship Blue T-shirts are available for $10 in the Spirit Shop in the Alumni Memorial Union (1442 W. Wisconsin Ave.) and online.

Tickets are also still available for the game and the 3-Point Play Mini Plan can be purchased for as little as $35 and includes Marquette’s matchups against Xavier, Creighton and a third game of choice.

The weekend’s festivities include the National Marquette Day Pep Rally at 6 p.m. CT Friday, Feb. 17 and a men’s basketball alumni game at the Al McGuire Center at 7 p.m. Admission is free to both events.

All former players, coaches and staff members have been invited back for the weekend and will be recognized at Saturday’s game against the Musketeers.

Why aren't they just putting shirts on the seats?

I wouldn't pay $5 for that shirt.

Yup, but most people already have a shirt in all of those colors, no?

Shamefully, no. I'm in a yellow section and I have no non-gross shirts to wear. Maybe a MU golf polo, I'll have to look.

The problem with yellow is that it's an awful color to wear. Adult men look ridiculous in yellow shirts. Yes, that includes old men in yellow sweater vests. Sure, I've collected a few gold t-shirts  that have become workout shirts, but when's the last time you saw a grown man in a nice-looking yellow shirt? I'll be wearing my comfortable gray MU pullover as opposed to throwing on a junky old yellow t-shirt.

Bingo. It's a bad yellow.

Come on.  If the Vols can pull this off in a 100,000 seat stadium, we can do some stripes in an 18000 seat arena:



And yes, everyone brought their own shirt to wear.  And yes, Tennessee Orange is exponentially more obnoxious than Marquette Gold.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but I'm pretty sure it won't be.

Zero. Chance. 

Not sure why they'd set themselves up for guaranteed failure.

Heh, they tried to do a gold out when I was a student but I was too superstitious to wear anything else besides my usual attire to games. That was when we lost like one home game in two years, the only home game I missed as well.

I'd be happy just to see people in the seats for this game, color coordinated or not. My Marquette watching this year has been 70% empty seat backs for an audience.

You need to drop your prissiness.  You probably don't look that good in any color.
