Including a Marquette tee.

...Wow.

Pffft - There should be a warrior on it instead of the current logo.

Exactly. This what you get when you lose your identity.

Funny though...American Eagle's mascot is, well, an eagle. You'd think they'd have AN eagle image somewhere to use.

But I guess it's a good thing they left a "blank box" there: you can scrawl "WARRIORS" to your liking.

Just noticed...it's an ADIDAS tee.

If ours was as good as most of the others I'd buy one.  Only ones besides ours I don't like are Notre Dame (mint green, wow...) and Villanova ('85 National Champs is a little too "vintage" to advertise for me).

My favorite part about it is every team gets one... except Depaul.

I'm sorry, but that's so wrong.  I actually feel bad for DePaul for getting dissed like this.

As an alumnus from both MU and DePaul, I feel dissed. Like the uninspired MU design wasn't bad enough, they had to forget about DePaul... I wrote them an e-mail, hopefully they add one ASAP, cause they are insulting DePaul University with each page view that collection gets.

Haha, I counted 15 and didn't make the effort to see who got snubbed.  Guess it figures it would be perennial team #16.

Agreed.  They're all pretty dope, except the MU one (even the Wisco one is cool).

Y'know, if they took the MU logo off the top it would be a way better design.

I feel like i am betraying MU and all the scoopers out there, but I really like the Syracuse and Cincy shirts.

Marquettes and USF's are simply uninspired and the oversight of DePaul should make AE feel like dirt.

Right? Especially if "vintage" was the look they were going for.

It's like an old gym shirt where you wrote your last name in the rectangle so the coach knew who you were.

Somewhere Cincy fans are smiling for not getting forgotten about.

If Loyola were in the Big East, American Eagle would get them a shirt.

I would like our shirt, and potentially buy one (did not look at the price though) if it did not have the new logo.  Just the old looking Marquette would have been fine since they probably could not use an old logo.

Post by: boyonthedock on March 07, 2012, 11:53:19 AM
I like the new logo a lot. But it looks stupid and redundant with the Marquette written out on the shirt. It's just bad design.

Here is my prediction:

American Eagle is going to sell zero Marquette shirts because all of the fans are going to think the design is incredibly lane.  Next year, they won't make any because there isn't any "fan support".

It's kind of a shame they didn't do a better job.  It's nearly impossible to find Marquette Wear outside of the Spirit Shop.  You would think that at least Kohl's in Chicago would carry some stuff, but no.  Plenty of ND merch, though.

I actually saw someone wearing the Syracuse shirt yesterday and made a comment about this year's team and he looked at me like he had know idea what I was talking about...

Now it all makes sense.

"Huh, huh. Huh, huh.  My shirt has a picture of an orange wearing a hat on it.  "Huh. huh."

Completely agree.  Looks pretty similar to an MU shirt i already have...

Probably why they forgot Depaul..That team is usually only at the tourney for a few hours before they are sent back home.
