If you're talking about selling jerseys I believe they're already selling Wes and Jerel jerseys

Those might be replicas and if they do, I haven't seen them because I'm in CA!!! LOL!
But the Swingman Jerseys are the ones with stitching (i.e., Diener and Wade's throwback).
Excuse my non-knowledge of jersey sales, but he's back- why wouldn't they sell his jersey?
Besides, aren't we going to be sporting Wade brand jerseys this year?

If you recall, Nike selects one player (actually his jersey number, they can't use the last name due to amateur status) and used it for their swingman jerseys. Swingman jerseys have "faux" stitching; only the outside of the letters and numbers are stitched, not one piece onto another (i.e., white on yellow for the number THEN onto the jersey). The replica jerseys are screen printed.
I'll post the pics here later.

I believe that is a rumor. But I wouldn't rule the possibility out. Ohio State last season was a "LeBron Brand" team. (see pic for LeBron logo on Oden's shorts). And Converse is owned by Nike...Wade already has his brand...Converse has made Marquette (Navy/Gold) colorways for every Wade shoe so far...it's a match made in heaven, no?

So Why wouldn't they use #1 again. James is back and he's the most well known player on the team. Why not sell more?

They traditionally have used a different player each year.
Why didn't they use Diener during Wade's 02-03 year?
Why didn't they use DJ during Novak's senior season? Or even Novak during Diener's senior season?
Here's the subtle difference between Swingman and Replica.
Diener Swingman...Notice the closeup: Numbers are stitched on

I have heard (seriously) that MU is now a "Wade Brand" team and they are bringing back the baby blue color on one set of the jersesys. So they will have white jersey, a gold jersey, and a baby blue jersey.
I haven't seen this in person, but this is what I heard from somebody who should/does know.
Can anybody confirm this? I'm assuming the team is already in their individual summer workouts, so they may have their new practice gear already (wade brand).
if this info is from someone who "should/does know" then why do you need confirmation?

Maybe a light blue jersey as an alternate/ throwback, but I don't think the university would abandon the main color scheme of navy, gold and white...
let's hope MU re-issues a Joe Nethen 20th anniversary special jersey, Nate's 50. :)

The new blue is a throwback to the jersey as seen on the Maurice Lucas bobblehead. I'm looking forward to it.

Well, I'm just saying I personally have not seen it. I was hoping somebody around here had actually seen the new equipment.

All indications I've heard have been that the baby blue would be a FOURTH jersey...we'd keep the navy, gold, and white and have that for special road games or something like that.

I'm not sure about wade Brand apparel, but I do know the team is moving wade's direction. Wade is sponsored by McDavid athletic protection. No surprise that the entire team had mcdavid arm sleeves and stockings last season.
