It's probably the image of the atrocious Italy trip shoes that will screw up your phone than anything wrong with the app
What is with putting the chicken hawk on everything?

For reference...
Not bad. I was wondering when MU was going to do something new with their unis. Does anybody else have their color scheme and mascot on their shoes? Is MU the first. (yes, I wish it was a different mascot)

It's a Jordan thing this season. UNC has their ram logo on a pair and I'd guess Georgetown will have them with the bulldog.
Edit: Scratch that, UNC had them for the sweet 16 this past March.
They couldn't just use the MU logo or finally get a decent looking eagle?
<<<<<< Cool Eagle
More cool eagles:

I really prefer the original golden eagle logo to the current Southern Miss ripoff version. Obviously, neither is optimal, but such is life.
Maybe they could get that dentist to shoot a bunch of eagles and staple 'em to the sides of their shoes. I'm sure he'd be up for it.

I know the app doesn't have everything we would all want, but it's a start! Being quite honest, the social media push that has occurred since Wojo has arrived, with Twitter, twitter videos, instagram, an app. It's great for not only us, but it's huge for young kids and high school socialites that want to be seen more and more. It matters when it comes to recruiting and most likely helps quite a bit. I like it, I say keep it up, even though the App isn't amazing, it's needed.

This isn't the firs Marquette basketball app. Maybe the first official but I had one maybe my sophomore or junior year.

Really? Funny how tastes are different cause I'm a big fan of those shoes. I'd buy a pair if they went on sale to the general public.
You know what would be kinda cool? A blue/gold Angry Bird as a logo.
So there is a link for Wojo, the rest of the coaches, the Al, the shoes/uniforms, the history, the conference... what about a link for player bios?

Can we get the guys who re-did the Bucks stuff to give the MU logo/mascot a shot?

So would I. I'm just surprised that they're using that logo, as they usually tend to veer away from it.

The theme of this shoe line is mascot-based. What else would they have used?
Here is the North Carolina version. They don't use their mascot logo much, either. Like us, they tend to use the logo with their initials, but here you go:

Nike generally gets to do what they want to do with Marquette's official logos. (And the bird head is an official logo.) That doesn't mean Marquette can't veto something, but my guess is that its pretty rare for them to do so.

How do you stand on the chicken hawk generally? I'm wondering how well accepted it is by the new generation(since 2004 we'll say). I know it was generally hated as of 2003 and prior, wonder if things have changed

I honestly don't care. Would I prefer to be the Warriors? Yes but I hardly see the "chicken-hawk" logo anywhere to be honest. I think I have one shirt with it the others are all just Marquette written out or the MU logo. The golden eagle logo itself doesn't bother me.
Actually, I think the logo Warriors is to overused in sports in general, still prefer it over golden eagles and I like the logo (have a couple warrior items) but if I had a say, I would love to go back to the Hilltoppers if I had to pick a nickname/mascot.
I guess all mascots need to look pissed. Makes 'em scary. Anyone remember the golden eagle dragging a baby goat off the cliff to kill it YouTube video? Marquette needs a mascot version of that with a leprechaun or badger getting dragged off the cliff.

No thanks to Tommy Crean, but da shoes coulda just been a solid Gold, hey?
MU has been just great on social media this year... How can we not love this? Definitely start following them on youtube also. I'm sure many of you have seen these videos through twitter, instagram etc... But with Sacar saying his goal is a National title, and this great pre-italy hype video, it has been great! They are winning with us fans, and definitely winning with the students, high schoolers looking for a college to cheer for, and most importantly, winning with recruits who are getting social media time!

Agreed. The presence on Instagram and Twitter has been impressive. And of course the inimitable Patrick Reed with the newcomer interviews.

I had to look up Inimitable... I'm embarrassed.
Yeah that was good. A little less cliche-ish out of Wojo, and it is great to generate hype.

I don't despise our logo and actually like the M-U logo but I would love to see what some others could come up with. I happen to like some of the bucks new stuff.
At some point you just need to stop redesigning the logo and just stick with it. Constantly redesigning logos is what Sun Belt teams do.

Agreed. Brand consistency is important. Though I would argue they haven't really redesigned the primary markets so much as added secondary and alternate marks with wide latitude on when they use them.
