More of the Yellow jerseys?
« on: December 07, 2008, 01:21:07 AM »
I posted in an earlier thread, but I think we should wear more of the yellow jerseys. If I remember correctly, I thought we wore the previous yellows more than the whites in the version that Jerel has on in the stud of the game pic. I think they are our coolest jerseys and prolly coolest in the nation and are another way to set us apart from other schools.

I think they usually save the gold jerseys for important games.  Al's Night, National Marquette Day, Madison, Louisville maybe...

Quite frankly, we should wear them every home game.  And again, BURN the light blue ones...

+1.  We seem to lose whenever we wear them and they are hideous to behold.

I believe we are 1 -2 with the light blues.  We beat a creampuff last year with them.

Don't think this is true. If you look at some of the big games we had in the past few years, like ND at home, Gameday,  Wisconsin two years ago we haven't worn the yellows but we did wear them against Louisville. Maybe we didn't wear them as much because Crean didn't like them?

I think they are our coolest jerseys and prolly coolest in the nation and are another way to set us apart from other schools.
The yellows definately the worst jersey we have.  The yellow makes the jersey way too bright making the jersey feel way to busy and makes reading the script difficult.  Being the coolest in the nation is a little over the top. 

I don't understand the why the powder blue gets a bad rap.  Ok the Marquette Script isn't the same as the other three but other than that I would put them as our second best next to the dark blues. They are shap and look pretty amazing. And how are we supposed to have a winning record if we never wear them? Its not because they are cursed.  Don't give me that nonsense.

I really think that basketball players at this level play differently because of the color of their uniforms. I remember when I was in eigth grade and we got new uniforms how excited we all were.  They were so cool.

I'm still defending the powder blues. You've got a really small sample size (3 games), so any result is going to be magnified.

The jerseys don't curse the players into their worst performances. Remember, we've turned in plenty of awful performances in white, navy, and gold as well. Doesn't mean we should change the team colors to green and orange.

The powder blue color is just downright ugly.  I have to agree the yellow jerseys are definitely our best and some of the cooler jerseys in the nation, and no it does not make reading them much harder at all...

NO!  We beat Florida Gulf Coast in them  ;D

Did anyone see the gold warmup pants?  Those were awesome.  I wish they would sell those over the navy blues.

Poll added. 

Gold is my #1.  Baby Blue is the worst of the bunch.

LOVE the gold jerseys.  My first comment before tip-off was on us breakin out the gold jerseys (similiar reaction when the Bears bust out the orange jerseys).

Burn the baby blues and spread the ashes someplace far away.  UGLY.

Navy is used as road only and white only as home.  The other two are like the alternate jerseys in baseball that can be used anywhere.

1.) White
2.) Navy Blue
3.) Light Blue
4.) Gold

That's not to say that the gold is bad, just that its my least favorite of some great-looking threads. Gets knocked down because the gold trim on the wordmark has a tendency to blend in to the gold of the jersey, and the end result is the wordmark looks smaller.

White gets the top spot because its the only jersey with no "gaps" in the side panels (ie: it looks like there are only gold and light blue side panels on the navy jersey because the navy panel blends in).

2) Gold
3) Light Blue

Not even a debate here.

1.) White
2.) Navy Blue
3.) Light Blue
4.) Gold

Those gold uniforms look terrible. Just to reaffirm that, why don't they sell the gold uniforms in the spirit shop? My assumption is that no one would buy them. The White are our best look. And yes, just burn the light blue ones.

cheebs is right here. Our best jerseys are by far the golds. At least five of my friends (none of which go to Marquette) say they would definitely buy our gold jerseys if we sold them. Our student section wears gold so it makes sense that our team would as well. If not every home game, we should at least alternate between the gold and white.
