I remember hearing a while back that we will be getting new Jordan brand jerseys this upcoming season. Does anyone know anything of this or was I dreaming thinking we were getting knew unis.
If the rumor is true... what are you guys feeling for design, color, how many jerseys etc...
-
We will be getting new jerseys next year, and I have no idea what they'll look like. Broeker tweeted awhile back that he thought the fans will love what Nike came up with.
As much as I like our current ones, I love the idea of becoming the small private school with the creative uniforms again. Looking forward to seeing what they look like.
-
Dont be surpirsed if they just do the cookie-cutter thing in the back with the designs (like Uconn, Cuse, Duke, St. Johns, etc). They might also make them more dri-fit because thats the style these days, the lighter the better. Hope those are the only two changes but we'll have to wait a while first.

Officially the dri-fit style is called System of Dress. It was really popular a few years ago with Syracuse, Kentucky, Ohio State rocking them. They had the real tight fitting tops with huge baggy shorts that would be pants on most people. If they go cookie cutter with the new uniforms, which we don't need in the first place, I for one will be listening to all the games next year.

If our unis look like anyone I would suspect the uniforms end up looking like UNC, Cal and Georgetown since those are the other Jordan Brand schools.
I hope not, though. I like having the best looking uniforms in college athletics.
-
Those are not 'cookie cutter'. They are for elite teams, and I personally think they look awesome.
-
Nike may take some cues from the Elite styling, but the design will mimic UNC/Georgetown/Cal as fellow Brand Jordan schools.
I, too, like the idea of being the small school with the interesting uniforms. I'm kind of hoping they use MU as the basketball version of Oregon (http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/anna_griffin/index.ssf/2011/01/espns_uniform_expert_expounds.html).
-
I personally love the current unis, especially the gold ones. I have noticed though that a couple other teams have copied us in putting stripes down the sides (Syracuse, Dayton, etc)
Really hoping Nike doesn't botch this.
-
Anyone have contacts at Nike? Kick off an email to the Jordan Brand employees and see if they can grab us a pic.
-

How are they not 'Cookie Cutter'? Isn't the reason you use a cookie cutter is to get the same thing every time? Aren't those 'elite teams' uniforms the same therefore being of a 'cookie cutter' style? Those back designs just look like huge sweat stains after a while.

They do, and it's really hard to see the unique design on the back designs even when they aren't sweat through. MU has had great, unique uniforms for years and I'd hate to see us look like everyone else with the Jordan Brand, even if they are elite bball programs.

Agree with you. Love our current uni's. Switching uniform styles all the time reduces your "brand equity." Get a signature look and stick with it for a long time - think the current uniforms do that, and do it well.

Don't know about that. The "signature and brand" during Al's days was how MU often changed their uni's and were always cutting edge. Can see the same with MU now.
-
Not only MU in the 70s, but Oregon football now. Kids don't care about "brand equity." They care about being cutting edge.
-

Agreed. I absolutely despise the Oregon football uniforms but they were the first team with the Nike Pro Combat uniform system. Look how that has exploded after they used it.
-
I love our uniforms, and they're unique. I'd like to keep them for another season or 2, but if they are getting changed, I want unique. Not what a few elite programs have. Unique.
-
Not only MU in the 70s, but Oregon football now. Kids don't care about "brand equity." They care about being cutting edge.
Eh, it works both ways. Yeah, you've got teams like Oregon that change their unis every game, but you've also got teams like Indiana, UNC, UCLA, and Kentucky that really haven't messed around with their look all that much.
-

Right. But since we've been messin' with our look all the time, we need to keep being at the front edge of the new looks. We can't be like those Steady Eddies. But I do think that our current unis will be hard to top.

I think the key here is keeping at the edge of our own style rather than the cookie cutter new looks that the big corps come out with.

To paraphrase JMay...our uni's are "exclusive".
-
My only suggestions are to keep the sweet checkering on the sides and shorts, and adjust the lettering on the front, make it more like the light blues. Totally in agreement, the unis will probably be on par with UNC, Georgetown, and other Jordan brand schools, and we'll probably be rocking that dry-fit stuff on the back, too, if I were to put a bet on it.
-

Is it the uniforms or years of traditionally great teams? We could make pink look cool if we keep winning.

Gotta get rid of the shoulder piping on the jersey's. That drives me crazy, absolutely no need for it.

-

Completely agree. The colors and checkered sides are great, the lettering/numbers would be better if they were smaller, more like the baby blues.
-
The biggest thing I want to see in the new uniforms is some consistency with the numbers/lettering. Always thought the block wordmark looked odd with the bubble-like numbers. And the stationary "retro" font on the baby blues is gross. That better not be anywhere near this new set.
I loved the block lettering on the 01-03 jerseys. I've said it before, but get rid of the shoulder yolks, and use that lettering and it would be the perfect uniform.

I'm with you on that. Agree 100%.

This.

Unfortunately, two of our more unique designs are not allowed anymore - the bumblebee and the untucked.
-
I hate the back designs and hope we don't go that route.
That is the most annoying trend in college basketball. Unless they could superimpose Al on there, I would be disappointed if we go that route.
-

I thought the same thing initially. In fact, I jokingly called our current duds "Franken-unis" because they combined so many seemingly random elements from uniforms past/present/future. From what I understand, the players cherry-picked what they liked, stirred the pot, and our present unis were the result. I grew to love them, and I got one tacked to the wall of my man-cave. I'm sure my kids will call it hideous someday and wonder what people were thinking back in the 00's.
As for our '11-'12 unis, I'd like the players to have input, and I'd like the jerseys to reflect their style, personality etc. I dread the idea of Nike offering something that's designed for mass appeal or just putting Marquette's name on the Nike Elite uni template, so to speak.
And while I generally like the idea of tradition when it comes to uniforms, I think Marquette's historical tradition is forward looking innovation (as contradictory as that may seem). So hopefully the new uni's reflect that.
-
Sounds like most of us are on the same page. Nike, are ya listening?
-
I hate to say it, but MU's current jerseys are about the only thing that has impressed me in regard to branding. It really makes me wonder who came up w/ them in the first place? Someone at Converse?

Right, which looks like nothing from those awful Nike Elite years post D-Wade Final 4. It is no secret that the current unis are influenced by throw backs. The current jerseys debuted when Wade and MU were sponsored by Converse. Was it someone at Converse that created this template/design?
-
Would it be possible to have the bumble bee pattern just on the shorts and then the jerseys could remain with the same stripes on the side so it isn't a complete bumble bee?
or is that too distracting to the other teams?
-

Young Black Americans who I teach who talk about how cool Marquette's Uniforms are and How sweet oregons changing looks are.
They hate Michigan, Duke, Indiana, because they have boring uniforms that only "Lames" wear.

Look, Marquette has a history of goofy coaches and flashy uniforms. We have the former...we need to make sure to keep the latter.

These teams have won like a combined 25 national championships too. Kind of comparing apples to oranges. I'm sure those designs on the UNC jersey were cutting edge at one point. As for Kentucky, they can not be considered with the other schools mentioned once you check out these beauties

Dont expect the jerseys to go back to the 01-03 lettering. Its all about the retro/clean look nowadays, short and to the point. I wouldnt mind the shoulder pads leaving though.

I don't think you can have these and have your own uniform identity. The System of Dress that Nike put out is a terrible look and I shudder to think what we would look like if we went with that design.
-
Real quick jersey concepts. I'd get into more detail, but don't have that kind of time. Really excited to see how the new jerseys actually do come out.

Awesome work! Thanks for sharing.

those look rad!
-
Those look solid. Definitely different from what we currently have, but don't stray too much from what's already a good product.
-
Those powder blues are tits.
-
Those are sweet. They look really good without the yokes. But I miss the striping up the sides of the jerseys.

I like the chekers on the side those need to be put in

The idea did cross my mind. I'll see what I can do.
-
MUCrew- If you have time, could you make one version with the Wade-era style block lettering. Really curious to see what those look like. Thanks!
-
And while you're at it, why don't you stretch the stripes on the side so they go all the way around the shorts to create a new bumble bee pattern for the whole short.
-
While you're at it, how about wrapping the stripes all the way around the top of the jersey, ala the old Washington Bullets?
-
Better yet, how about the bumblebee stripes around the top like the old Bullets jersey?
-
Could you also add dreads to the player so he looks more like Jae?
-
Added the checkered piping. Turned out pretty well.
I'm also thinking I could add 3D glasses on the player and possibly a bazooka. What do you think? Add a pet dog in there too? :P
-
I hope we keep the block lettering on the babies, also the piping around the arms, instead of neck. However, maybe it's time for that change too.

The two-toned waistband is a nice touch.

Skat,
Have you grown a foot, and developed a shred of atheleticism since last I saw ya?

I kinda liked the first version without the piping on the jersey. It's a cleaner look.

Can we just have MUCrew be in charge of this with consultation from other Scoopers? I trust him more.

I think if our uniforms had bazookas, we'd get ranked pre-season top 10.

This version gets my backing for absolutely needing to come back. Love the lettering, much better than the current baby blues and their lettering
-
The tight tops with the baggy shorts drives me crazy. The design is cool but I could do without the lycra top.

The Warriors busted out these threads mid-season. They made their debut for the national TV audience vs. South Carolina, the game with the fight in it.

Bring back Bo Ellis, the Mount Mary fashion major to do the design!

Crew, those are FANTASTIC! Even don't mind the matched colored sneaks, too.
They'd be even more awesome with this lettering on the front (my fave of any MU uni), and of course, the bazookas, dogs, and dreads to make the player look more like Jae.

Yes I'm not sold on the new jerseys using the current wordmark for the future. I think they may use the lettering from the current baby blue jerseys for all of them.
-
^
That lettering was very much like the font that MU used for all official mailings....it was on grade reports and any letters in the early 70s....not exactly the same but very similar to it...enough so that it was the first thing I thought of when I just saw it again.
-
I always dug this version. Lengthen the shorts. They had white, blue and gold. I think the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricanes wore these when they defeated MU in the 2002 tournament.
-
Do the Chuck Taylors come with the uniform?
-
I don't care for the baby blue jersey lettering. Way too plain. I hope they stay with how the lettering is on all the other 3 colors if they go to a new jersey. That's kinda their "trademark" now. It's cool looking and very unique.

I want to see this, but with a squawking Golden Eagle instead of a Hawk.

There have been rumors of a black alternate jersey that supposedly exists. Some were saying they were goin to wear them when we played Duke.
Obviously, that didn't happen. I realize it's not one of our colors but I think the a Blacks with a silver Jumpman Logo would look Sweeeeeeet.

I could get behind a special occasion black uni, if it's only work a couple times a season.

lots of schools have a black alternate uni, Duke, Washington come to mind. I dont think it's one of their colors but their uniforms look great. Black with the baby blue/gold would be really sweet, I could see us sporting those in Madison next year...

While people on here may not like the potential of black unis, I can almost guarantee future recruits would love them. Black alternates always seem to be received well by the younger demos. I hate Duke and even I will admit I liked the blacks when they first rolled them out.
-
No to black uni's.
No to recruits who would actually sign with a college taking into account that the team has a black alternate jersey.

It'd have to be used once a year, twice at most. I love the idea of wearing those in Madison.

You knew this was coming don't you?

I hate the black alternate trend. Why do it? If its not a team's color they have no business wearing it, dumb, dumb and dumb. I love being flashy, and there cant be many other college bball teams with 4 options like us, but I def say no to black, hate it, trying to hard, we have history to be wearing all the colors we have, no need to put anything dumb in there...

Ya except black is one of their primary colors. When schools go with black for blacks sake it's just dumb. You look like you're just trying to make more money by selling a jersey that wasn't available before. I would lose all respect for Marquette if we followed this idiotic trend in college basketball.
-
I am for just about any type of jersey other than Duke's style. I never saw a more gross uniform.
-
I'm pretty sure Duke is proof that recruits don't look at uniforms when they choose a school.
-
You knew this was coming don't you?
1st, black alternates, hell yeah. Keep em secret, roll em out in Madison.
2nd, how would they look with baby blue numerals? Although gold is one of our colors, black and gold unis are plentiful.

I'm pretty sure the whole black jersey rumor just came from a poster on scoop hoping for them to wear black jerseys and not someone official.

I hope we never ever have a black jersey. When one of your school colors is Blue, there is no need for a black jersey. The Navy jerseys look great.

From UniWatch:
Ryan Mandel think Nike may have inadvertently leaked Marquette’s new hoops uni: “I was looking on the niketeam.com website where you can customize Nike jerseys and noticed a new Marquette design. When you click on the jersey to customize (click on “Modified Basketball” and then “Team ID Plus Jersey” and you can click on the jerseys and preview them), it shows four options for the jersey, three of which were already customized as a Marquette jersey in white, navy, and yellow.”
Pretty similar, but interesting number font....
-
http://www.niketeam.com/V2/new/builders/teamid/index.asp?&ref=
Looks like they cleaned them up a bit and took the stripes off the shoulders. It also looks like they are the tighter tops that Nike has been using. The shorts are a bit different too.

Link worked for me.
The lettering isn't the "bubble lettering" we have seen. Much cleaner font with gold lettering (but blue numbers) on the white jersey. White numbers on the navy and gold jerseys with gold and navy letters respectively. They also have a unique navy trim on the bottom of the shorts.
I like them. They combine the best of the former, such as the multi-colors down the side, with the look of Nike.
I bet there will be a light blue alternate with gold lettering...very nice.
-
I'll allow those.

Hah, I did the same with the ones they had, thanks for customizing the baby blue...

Here's an actual picture.
-
Not awful, but could be better. I don't like the the varying stripe length on the shorts or the bottom of the shorts. And I'd prefer the stripes go all the way around the collar.
-
I do hope the bottom of the shorts have the MU logo, rather than a generic M. Other than that, I like them.
-
Not a big fan of the numeric font they used.
-
I am ok with the number font. I am unsure about the MARQUETTE font however. I like the font that looks like the warrior logo font. I dislike the other.

I don't like the navy wave at the bottom of the shorts, it just looks totally out of place. Otherwise, I think it's acceptable, a decent update on the old ones, without losing the overall feel. Plus, they got rid of the stripes on the shoulders, which I didn't like on the old ones.
-
They also don't show the AL emblem.
-
They're not bad, agree about the number font, and the shorts logo, but most of the key elements that make our unis awesome are there. And no black uniforms, either, so that's good.

You are looking too much into this. These may or may not actually be the new uniforms. And anyway it is just a template they use for design purposes. There could be a black. There could be a light blue. And there is still plenty of room for "AL" lettering.
-
There better not be black unis. If there are, I will be seriously embarrassed for MU.

Exactly. If you go into the other screens, the lettering is just one of the stock fonts. I do hope there's no wave thing on the bottom of the shorts though. Would love to see them go clean with it.
-
Similar to Oregon's numbering:

While I'm not a fan of black jerseys, I wouldn't be embarassed if they wore them. Why would you be embarassed?
-
I could care less if we integrated black unis for a game or two. But it certainly wouldn't be embarrassing.
I like the wave at the bottom of the shorts actually. The font wouldn't be my first choice but as long as they keep the stripes on the side, I'm confident they will still be some of the best unis in the nation. I like that they cleaned them up a bit. But who knows if these are even what our new ones will look like.
-
For what it's worth, the font for the numbers and name are exactly the same as the font on Cal and Arizona jerseys on the website.
-
While I'm not a fan of black jerseys, I wouldn't be embarassed if they wore them. Why would you be embarassed?
Agree. the Black uniforms will be perceived well by young recruits
-
I'm pretty sure that you will see the same "Marquette" wordmark lettering from the current jerseys on whatever we end up with next year. I think Sultan's right when he says this is just a template for people to design stuff off of.
-
Why would you think we would see the same "Marquette" wordmark? They aren't going to take over the uniform design just to re-use the same design left over from before. They are going to put their own touches to it.
-

What if they are making that wordmark part of the brand? Soccer and volleyball have the same word mark on their jerseys.
They have put their own touches on it. They changed it to the system of dress style, removed the colored shoulders, and changed the shorts up.
I think the fonts are just a place holder for the template (especially because Arizona and Cal have the same fonts on that site) so I think the wordmark is still very much a possiblity.
-
Not a fan. Reminds me too much of the Cal uniforms a while back (I think it's the style as well as the font they decided to use). I mean that's just my initial reaction. Can I get around to getting used to these? Sure. I just think that Nike took a template, and mixed the styles we currently wear with the ones we wore when DJ, McNeal, Wesley were freshman. I'm no fashion designer, but they could do better.
-
What if they are making that wordmark part of the brand? Soccer and volleyball have the same word mark on their jerseys.
Other sports have that same word mark most likely because they have the same jersey designers. It really isn't a "brand." For instance, you won't see that wordmark anywhere on the MU web-site.
-

Could be mistaken here, but that "Marquette" wordmark is a brand of Marquette University athletics. It's on pretty much all of the varsity sports jerseys.
I do agree with Titan and think that it's just a place holder for something more 'Marquette-specific' rather than a stock font Nike decides to use.
-
Exactly. I remember when MU rolled out the wordmark they called it part of their brand, like the block MU that will probably be used at the bottom of the shorts.
-
The NikeID site say these uniforms are System of Dress. Don't all of these jerseys have the back pattern?
What would you guys like to see in the back pattern if we have it? Marquette Hall? 1977 Trophy? 1977 Team Picture haha?

@TallTitan34 uniforms are the same as last year with a few slight modifications. this is stock for other schools to order if; HS, etc.

Marquette Hall probably. Would make the most sense don't you think considering that it's on almost everything academic related. I do believe that if they do that sweat-back-pattern, it will be a combination of Marquette Hall, AL, and other iconic symbols that make Marquette unique.

And it looks like those are very close. The 3/4 view of the gold uni has the same side striping that gets wider towards the bottom on the shorts as the picture that the athletic department put up on Twitter:

Shorts look great. Stripes aren't as thick, love that.
Little unsure about the 'digital' field around the monogram, but could be worse.

Personally, I like the new yet subte look of the new uni's (if these are what they look like). I am definitely not bored of the stripes. The stripes are just one of the reasons why I love our iniforms.
Being from the east coast....all of my friends and anyone I talk to after they find out I went to Marqeutte...always come to the same conclusion....that Marquette has the best uniforms in college basketball....Probably at least 95% if not more of the people that I talk to regarding college bball.
Why change something dramatically that is one of the main reasons that make Marquette basketball unique to every other team..?

I guess I like simple uniforms. #1 UNC, #2 the gray OSU alternate home jerseys.
-
Not a fan of simple at all. I like complex. Like the thinner stripes and the brail adds a bit more. The blue swoop in the front is a little questionable.
-
They'll also have a micro design on the back of the jersey, like Duke, Gonzaga, etc.
-
It's tough to be critical of what I think our the best uni's in the NCAA....but I wish the gold in the stripe was replaced with white to give the side stripes a clean divide from the rest of the uni. Same goes with the other color variations....the main color shouldn't be in the side stripes IMO.
-
Not really gold at all. More yellow than gold. Compare it to the gold on the wall in the background...
-
Apparently UNC is also getting the micro design on the backs of their jerseys this year and their fans are not very happy about it.

I feel the same way. The micro designs have been around for a couple of years and I still dont know what the designs even are as they come through on tv very poorly. Are they campus buildings???? ?-( Seems like Nike is running out of creative ideas. And putting those designs on the traditional UNC jerseys is a traveshamockery.

I agree with that for all four kit colors. Blue/baby blue/white on the gold, blue/baby blue/gold on the white, blue/white/gold on the baby blue, and baby blue/gold/white on the blue. I love how the side stripes look here:
(http://statsheet.com/images/articles/2008/3/200803122235813526490-p2.jpeg)
Short of alternating the side striping colors by shirt, they could also use the unused color as a barrier. So if they kept the blue/baby blue/gold pattern on the gold, have a white stripe trailing down the borders of the side stripes to give definition, somewhat like these shirts:
(http://www.cstvauctions.com/images/auctions/18/Grimm_Navy_Front.jpg)
If they do a micro design, I hope that it's something subtle. The Duke one is way over the top, but Gonzaga's isn't too bad other than that it says "Go Zags" which seems cheesy.
-

I really hope there's no micro-design. I associate that with Duke, which means I associate it with dook.
All our questions will be answered in a few short hours though.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like maybe that hideous baby blue has been replaced by a darker (and more historically correct) shade of blue.

Im pretty sure they're sticking to the baby blues. It just looks darker because its on the gold.

It is, it's more like running shorts which is apparently the appeal.
I'm attaching an article about the new Nike uniform program from the Carolina pay site that goes into more detail about the technology. It has some Carolina content (and opinions) but also includes an interview with a Nike spokesperson that's pretty good. I've also included the entire Nike article (sole collector) about their new "Hyper Elite NCAA uniforms."

Interesting, especially since the "do uniforms help recruiting" debate has come up here before.
-
To me, that article indicates that designers and marketers think they play a bigger role in the college landscape than they actually do. Just about every football recruit that goes to Oregon sites their facilities as being one of the top (if not the top) reason for going there; their facilities are the best in the country, hands down.
There are any number of youtube videos of their facilities:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_umtAnyCfQE
-
Undoubtedly their facilities matter. But I think unique uniforms are part of what makes them unique. In many ways I feel that this historically has been the same with MU basketball. And I hope that continues. I don't mind the graphic on the jersey, etc.
Just make them colorful and flashy.

I like them.

I really hope it's something completely new and not a rehash of the dook sweat stain. Unless of course it's Buzz's head superimposed on there.

If you look at the full size of the photo, you can clearly see the perforation on the back. What's that sticking up among the perforation in the middle? Is it Marquette Hall? Looks like it's probably Crowder's jersey in the picture.

Interesting observation, but wouldn't it look weird to have that on there and put the BE logo in the same spot? I'm not too familiar with these jerseys with the subtle-ish back design, but to me it would seem strange to have a design and then slap the BE logo directly on it.

I agree. But whatever the graphics are, there's going to be a number and a name on it too.

I think that the one linked above (http://yfrog.com/z/hw7ksbj) looks like it's going to be Marquette Hall. And this doesn't surprise me too much...they really use that image a lot. If that's right, I wonder if there's going to be anything else in there along with that (e.g., Al, Eagle, MU, etc.).

The other schools with imagery on the back of the jerseys haven't used specific in depth artwork of buildings. Sure MU Hall looks ok on campus, I guess, but I don't associate it with the basketball team.
What kind of stuff would influence the design? Al? Architecture on campus is lacking. Help us all if there is anything related to an actual eagle.

Actually the Kentucky one has a building exactly in the same place. With the "peaks" on top of whatever that image is, it looks very much like it could be some variation of the University logo. I don't think you will see anything like an eagle on these things. My guess is that the MU logo will be below the number.

Duke's is clearly based upon a building on their campus. I think it's Marquette Hall (at least in part) for two reasons: 1) MU really pimps that image even if it is not necessarily generally associated with the basketball team; and 2) that's what the enlarged photo really looks like to me (I think you can even make out three of the spires). I might be wrong; we'll see.
The designs other schools use have varied. As I said, Duke's is based on a chapel on campus. Gonzaga's is just a silly graphic. Kentucky's appears to be a combination of a wildcat, retired numbers and some other stuff.

Good point. Here's an enlarged look at Kentucky's. (http://vaughtsviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/EliteFit_College_Back_SP10_0176.jpg) Definitely a building at the top, and definitely has a logo slapped right on top of it.
-
I guess I agree with everyone else; it definitely appears like we'll have Marquette Hall, and I'm fine with that. What I don't get is why they wouldn't adjust the design by an inch so that the peak of the building doesn't get covered by the logo. But I'm not paid to make these decisions.
Side note: If anybody wants to pay me to make these decisions, I'm available.

It looks like the building on Kentucky's uni is Memorial hall

From texaswarrior's link from the last page:
"Duke was one of the first schools that rolled out aerographics. We took a historic building on campus, and had to get involved with the administration to make sure we could use it. Some people were really mad about it, saying, “Hey, that’s a church, what are you doing using that on a uniform?” So we had to be very direct in saying that we don’t commercialize that exact image, and it’s not going to be sold. When you get past that, the coaches and athletic directors came back to us and said, “You really captured the soul of the school on our back. It’s great.”

I agree...to a point. I would have the exact same reaction ("ugh") if the back of the jersey was just a "big ole bust of Al." Many of the jerseys that are using this technique have a bit of a collage feel to them. If the jersey is going to have multiple images (and I'm still guessing that Marquette Hall will be the dominant image), I wouldn't object to the Al image being incorporated. If it's the dominant image...ugh.

The IWB is hinting on Hoops what is on the back

Has to be Marquette Hall. The answer is on the front of the jersey...Marquette. Al is also on the front, so something with Al will probably be in there as well.

If you look at the full size of the photo, you can clearly see the perforation on the back. What's that sticking up among the perforation in the middle? Is it Marquette Hall? Looks like it's probably Crowder's jersey in the picture.
I just realized that my earlier post was a nice example of "missing the forest for the trees." I was looking at the "W" and partial "O" in the name on the back of the jersey and brilliantly deduced that it was "probably" Crowder's jersey. That big "32" on the front might have been a decent clue as well. Doh!

I do wonder if they're going to use the "Super Chicken" Golden Eagle logo at the bottom back of the jersey.

I have it on pretty good authority that the image on back will be Freeway, Ziggy and the "Jesus Saves" cross from the rescue mission.

I dont think it even matters what's on the back of the jerseys. With the light and player sweat, its virtually impossible to make out what the designs even are....even on HD!!! It's not like fans from other schools are going to say, "Hey look, that's Marquette Hall on their back."

Sorry. Take away my Warrior Card, but that's ugly. They remind me of the knockoff soccer jerseys you'd see being sold on the street in Pilsen, with a player's name and number on the back, and a picture of that same player on the jersey itself, or those god-awful NBA Raptors, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Hawks jerseys of the late 90s.
The elements are disjointed, and the end result looks like a kindergartener's magazine collage. I don't understand what was wrong with nothing on the back but the player's name and number. Take away the back design and it's as good a uniform as I've ever seen Marquette in. The back design, while probably designed with the best of intentions and substantial imput from the University, is just so completely and utterly unnecessary.
The irony is that MU's press release will likely say the new uniform's back design makes it "uniquely Marquette," when in reality, MU's jerseys were already unique, and by copping to Nike's back-design template, they have actually made Marquette's uniforms LESS unique.
Maybe they'll grow on me, but for now, I think they're pretty fugly.
-
I have to agre, they looks disoriented - lost.
like were trying too hard to put as much on the back of a bball jersey are possible.
I think mu hall / 1881 would have been enough this looks like a ransom note to the rest of college basketball asking to be accepted w/ the dukies, msu's, etc.
(at least it doesn't read " go zags")
-
Whats the point of having images like these on the back of the Jersey if the player's number is just going to cover up half of the details? The fact that Al's face is squarely under the #2 is pretty silly.
-
IMHO, too much detail and too many elements. Nothing wrong with trying the concept but I like a more subtle feel to those types of jerseys. I would have just had some simple repeating text with the Curas Personalis theme, or one large Al logo, or the a huge MU logo that blends in better with curas personalis underneath. It also seems weird that it is just in the middle of the jersey and is cut off at the bottom and sides.
-
Agreed, these are disappointing. They look like something for kids with Al's arms extended. It looks like a pair of arms looking for a hug.
WHY??? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME AGAIN MARQUETTE?!?!
-
I completely agree with everything that is being said. I had high hopes for these but I feel as though the drawing is almost cartoon-ish...plus you can't see Al's face! They should have stuck with what we know best, Marquette Hall or maybe the Marquette seal would have been both better options than this. I'm curious to see how the design looks on the different colored unis.
-
What a bunch of negativity.
Honestly, I think the stuff on the back of jerseys is a little silly, but man...it's just a jersey! Of course, I am hoping for a black alternate with ridiculously obnoxious neon gold (to debut at the Kohl Center), loved Maryland's uniforms last night, and generally like what Oregon does. The flashier the better. I want people talking about them.

I agree Sultan, the flashier the better, kids now a days love this stuff, and DJO loves them as well:

I'm still looking for this flash. I can see it in other areas other than the picture. Even something like Dukes back would look better. Not a fan. I hope this is a joke. Last year we (IMO) no doubtably had the best uniforms, now we no doubtably dont.
-

This is flashy, for someone in grade school.
-
Like a lot of others, I'm not a big fan of the graphics on the back of jerseys. I can't believe that I'm saying this (particularly in light of the fact that I was one of the ones hoping they'd use this Al image), but I think that they almost hit this one out of the park. Remove the Al image and I think that this is a great, under-stated design. But I think the Al image just screws it up.
Maybe I the reason I feel this way is because I just don't like these graphics, and if you took out those out-stretched arms, this graphic would pretty much disappear under the name/number/logo and it would just look like pattern of perforation.
-
That would be pretty awesome in theory, I wonder if it could be pulled off without looking dumb though.
So, what do you think?
-
Al's face will not be covered on a 2 digit jersey, like #32.
-
It was nice of them to tell us what color the jersey is in place of the player's name on the back. I assume the home jerseys will say "WHITE" and the roads will say "NAVY".
Also, I'm happy to see that we will once again have the baby blues.
-
I'd give it a B-... the vision is there, but the final product simply lacked execution.
However, I'm willing to give MU a pass on this one. If the players are stoked about the new design (which apparently at least one is), that's all that matters. After all, the uniforms are not designed for the fans, they're designed for the people wearing them, and as long as they have street cred, that's good enough for me. Think of the uni's as a recruiting tool, not a revenue source.
So who cares what we think about it. Jerseys are for the kids... all we should be discussing is the 2011 re-design of the MU sweater-vest.
-
OK, where can I get a baby blue sweater vest with the MU ghost design on the back?
-
Al's face will not be covered on a 2 digit jersey, like #32.
But then his arms will be covered.
-
The flashier the better.
That must be why schools like Alabama, Ohio State, and Texas are having trouble attracting top football recruits.
-
So, what do you think?
I think it's weird that they chose to release it to us with a single digit number when the design is clearly catered toward double digits (open space on the sides and Al being in the middle). That being said, I like it. I think it will look much better with a double digit number since Al's face will be peeking out and only parts of his arms should be covered. Also, it won't have as much negative space on the edges that make the middle look as cluttered as it does now. I think they did the smart thing by not including any Golden Eagle related things so as to not give alumni another thing to complain about as well.
-
Certain schools rely on flash...certain schools rely on tradition. MU has a history of unique and flashy uniforms. We should embrace that.
-
As someone who has long disliked the ghost image on jerseys, these are pretty tame. They're not too busy. I'm happy that Al's on there, but the designers should have taken into account that his face would be covered by single digit unis.
I like that they have Latin on there, causes people to take a second and look it up and possibly learn a bit about the Jesuit mission.
All in all, I'd give it a 8.5. I really like the other changes - shoulders and stripes - enough that this is a positive than the previous. And it will be a matter of time before a lot more schools go with this design. I know we will see some truly awful ghost graphics on jerseys in the near future.
I'd be interested to see a 0 uniform number, if Al's face falls right in the middle of it.
-
Whats the point of having images like these on the back of the Jersey if the player's number is just going to cover up half of the details? The fact that Al's face is squarely under the #2 is pretty silly.
his face is under the number 2, but it will be visible on any double digit jersey.
-
I tend to agree with T-Bone's assessment. It's OK, and I'm much happier about changing the shoulder-strap thing. The back graphics provide a lot of opportunity to screw it up, and this is relatively benign. We can gripe about Al getting covered, but overall, it could have been worse.
-
I hate you so much sometimes, Marquette. I really do. I just don't understand you.
-
His face won't be covered. If you get rid of the idiotic circle design with the MU on the back which is entirely unnecessary I think it looks great. The 1881 and the Cura Personalis look fine without the circle, and everything else IMO is awesome.
-
Actually, if you bumped Al up on the design and the number down just a bit, I think you could get Al's head above the number and make his outstretched arms look like they're embracing the player's name. Which would be a slight improvement - though it would depend on how low the number actually went, might be weird.
-
I believe Jim Graebert is the culprit. FIRE HIM.

I'm with the crowd that thinks the idea of the back graphic is a bit off, but if we were going to do it, it could've been much worse. I like what was selected, and even if a bit cluttered, it is a pretty nice Marquette cross section. The only thing I might have liked incorporated was the "We're Uptown People" sign from the championship run. But thats picking nits to the extreme.
A larger point for me is that can this please signal the end of the chicken hawk? The university bascially had its chance to put any number of logos, symbols, sayings, etc on the back of the jersey and whether it was Nike, its lack of popularity, or whatever other reason, it didnt even make the cut. Hopefully the powers that be PLEASE get the message that if the hawk couldnt be squeezed in amongst 4 other symbols, it shouldnt be the main logo on anything and that no one wants it
-
The seal would have looked damn good in that circle.
-

Not that it matters, but I believe the circle is intended to bridge the beginning (1881) to the present (MU logo) in MU history. The circle may be a basketball or possibly it is meant to signify the "circle of life". Perhaps both.

I have been saying this for some time...the chicken has been de-emphasized, if not completely eliminated, from all imagery regarding the men's basketball team. I see it in connection with other athletic teams, but never in connection with basketball. (And I mean on uniforms, warm-ups, logos on the floor, etc. I understand that they sell chicken t-shirts with a basketball on them.)

OK, where can I get a baby blue sweater vest with the MU ghost design on the back?
They're still taking suggestions for the design... much like the jerseys incorporate the tradition of the basketball program, the sweater-vest is going to incorporate the tradition of how we alumni like to bitch about really petty stuff. So far, the suggestions are to include such images as:
1) A chicken being strangled,
2) A deflated football,
3) A municipal court hearing,
4) A half-empty student section,
5) An elderly alum asleep in choice seats at a basketball game,
6) A TWC black-out notice,
7) Tournament brackets superimposed over the state of California,
8) The word "JUCO" in block lettering,
9) Buzz not being able to reach something on the top shelf,
10) A picture of Chicos with the word "banned" over it,
11) Caricatures of Syracuse, UCONN, WVU, and 13 others on a school bus named "BIG EAST" waiving to a teary caricature of Marquette as it drives away.
12) A big ol' middle finger centered over the south central portion of the state, approx. the same latitude as Milwaukee, just about 60 miles west.
What have I missed?

The circle just seems really unnecessary, and it would've nicer to see Marquette Hall a bit bigger...seems kinda skinny and not well designed for something like this, esp since that is the #1 image MU wants to be associated with the school.
I wouldve appreciated just the Al and Marquette Hall on the back, and nothing else. Simpler is better for something like this design-wise.

That's the point. These jersey's are supposed to represent Marquette and be something for the team. Like when Pitt designed their back - they made sure to include "The Oakland Zoo" b/c they feel the students are part of the team. Unless you're a hard core fan, you wouldn't know that.

I believe I erred. I read it awhile back about MU and was thinking it was the NCAA Rule. I checked the NCAA Rules and they are silent to the number of uniforms.
I know there is one designated home and one designated road uniform. The others are considered alternates. Sorry for the error.

I'd like to point out that Al's face is mostly covered even with the 2 digit "32"
Here's the full size

I am not sure where they could place it and make it fully visible. It almost seems more poorly placed with the double digits.

Could've made it bigger, lose the "cura personalis" at the bottom along with that circle.

The image on the back reminds me of a Christmas ornament.

Actually, they could not have made it bigger. As is, it stretches across the back area. They could have lowered it to the bottom. That is the only place in the current size it may have fit. They could have made it smaller to fit it in.
-
I don't hate them, but I don't love them. I think they should have had only the seal or MU hall. 4 different pictures makes it look too busy, especially being so vertical.
At least Crean isn't the coach, otherwise the jerseys may have had something like this on the back:
(http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2011/02/02/010211-Tom-Crean-SW-PI_201102022139157_660_320.JPG)
-
We have his name on the front, the court and the practice facility. That isn't enough?
It's not the question of "isn't that enough" rather if you're going to put an image of him on there, why cover him up? Might as well not even use him at all.
I can see some people not familiar with MU saying this season, "I didn't know Richard Nixon went to Marquette."
At least, skew/rotate the image so it shows what should be seen: one of MU's most iconic figures in an unforgettable pose

I don't need to see Al's face to know that it's him.
Honestly, these types of jerseys have been out for years and I never knew they had specific designs on the back until yesterday. To a casual observer (ie - my view of Syracuse jerseys), it just looks like some weird Nike tech design. Only Marquette fans will know and/or care.

Where's the statistical analysis of how these jerseys will hurt or help us? What's our +/- on victories while wearing these things? What's the statistical probability that this redesign removes the curse of the "color x"?
-
I'm shocked that people are b1tching about the new jerseys.
-
We could get Taylor Swift to sing the National Anthem before the games, and some people would b1tch that we shoulda gotten Carrie Underwood. (Not you, JayBee.) That's just what we expect here.

Agree. In fact, on TV these look like gigantic sweat stains...which, in the end, is really the ultimate hat tip to the Buzzer.

No matter what the new jerseys would have looked like, the MU community would have been divided on the design since everyone has their own aesthetic preferences. I think adding "Cura Personalis" to the jerseys was a nice way to round out putting Marquette Hall and Al in the same space. I'm sure ESPN will make brief mention of the design in pre-game segments, so anyone who is unsure about what exactly is being depicted will probably pick up on it soon enough.
Super excited to see these in HD!

They should have put a wagon wheel and an outline of the Door County peninsula
-
I would have been happy with a Usinger's sausage, a brick of cheese and the Miller High Life logo (and maybe a snowmobile). That jersey would claim the entire state of WI and no one would say, "what is that stuff on the back of their jerseys?"
-
To be honest I really thought there was going to be a drastic change, like the form fitting jersey Kentucky wears or something like that. At the end of the day, they're not fantastic. I have never been a huge fan of any water marks but I am pretty sure they changed the font of the jerseys and I think that looks a whole lot better. Overall disappointed. But still some of the best uni's in the country hands down.

How can you be disappointed in "some of the best uni's in the country hands down"?????

I have found out that the new jerseys will go on sale to the public probably some time in October. They will be available at Marquette University's Spirit Shop and most likely online also.

How on earth does that look retro?
Unless you're talking about MU basketball letterhead, circa 2005. Retro.

I'm talkin' 'bout the font on the baby blue jerseys. Those are the ones inspired by the '74's with the same side striping, and the different font on the baby blues looks retro compared to the "Marquette" wordmark on the whites, golds and navys.
-
I couldn't care less as to what's on the back of the jerseys. It will all look like a huge sweat stain anyways. This should be a lesson as to why you stay away from Nike and Under Armor.

I detest the lettering on the baby blues. It doesn't look "retro." It looks dumb. Keep the jerseys consistent.

I stitched them together and flipped them quick cause it was bothering me.

+100 .. amazing how MU went from the team that could do no wrong with its jerseys, to picking one that is proudly hideous. wtf.

I actually like the block lettering. It's simple and adds uniqueness to the baby blues.

I like them. I've always liked those subtle graphics.

Is this right: all the jerseys have 'v necks' except for the baby blues, which have a 'choker' look / 'crew neck'?

Got to see them up close today and I'm a believer. I had them at a 7.5 out of ten but in person they are much closer to a 9. The "watermark" can only be seen from very close up and even looks better on other players. Here's what it looks like on Otule (http://blogs.marquettetribune.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/MG_0820.png)

Yep, after looking through that gallery I'm a fan. Thanks pux90mex :)

Cool. In the last photo of the gallery, you can see Al's face in the 0 of Wilson's jersey.

Awesome shots pux!
Big fan.

Want to make the baby blues look unique? Pattern the front after the 76-77 aways. Put "Marquette" below the number. That is unique. An unoriginal font taken off some letterhead is boring and looks like crap.

Well, we were all worried about the boring Nike look - we got something special once again!

Thanks Rocky. One more little tidbit from Saturday, no black jerseys for the team this year, although there will be a pink jersey used once. DJO didn't say when.
-
Oh...they were serious about the pink jersey? I thought it was a joke. Should be interesting!
-
Interesting indeed. I can understand headbands or shoes, but jerseys? Don't believe it has ever been done in men's basketball, but here is what Rutger's looked like.

My only dislik of them is with single numbers covering Al's face/body leaving just the outstrecthed arms. just looks odd.

-
That's it, thanks, I couldn't get it to attach. Is that the white unis? or just the light blues very faded out from the photo quality?
-
I think it is a baby blue with alot of brightness in the picture.
-
Agreed...the picture of all 4 jerseys has the white with the wordmark.
-
That's what I thought also after further review. The jersey and shorts look like they're the same color as the stripe on the side, which has to be the baby blue since there isn't a white stripe.
I still think they should use that font on all the jerseys.
-
I think the pinks could be pretty cool if they had some form of the striping down the side...it would have to be the right shade of pink for it not to clash with the blues and gold. Maybe eliminate the gold and have the stripes in navy/baby blue/white. That might look ok.

Wouldn't they make an exception for this type of thing? I mean, I'm sure MLB would let a team wear hats in honor of the NYPD and FDNY.

Just think of it as Al hugging that player's number. Then it all makes sense. Kind of.

That had to be one of the dumbest things ever. Even the No Fun League backed down and acquiesced and allowed the players to wear the tribute shoes, armbands, gloves ... yesterday. Baseball just continued with their heads in the sand.
-
I wonder if they wear the pink jersey's for either the Jimmy V Classic game against Washington or at Nova which is on the Coaches Vs. Cancer weekend?

I think it'll be Nova. It was just after the Coaches vs. Cancer game last year when Buzz said he wanted to wear pink jerseys but he was too late to get them done in time.

If you look at response #131 from this thread you can see the template for those (and our) jerseys came out during the summer. I'm not sure if this is the homer in me coming out, but the Jordan game jerseys and color schemes don't look good at all.

Hmmmmmm....I wonder if that's what our warmups will look like?

Also, I assume that's Austin Rivers in white.
