Looks like it's actually the Navies.

Who?
Yeah maybe, but they look great...
I don't know why people hate on the baby/championship/valor blues. I thought they looked great when they were first brought back:

I thought they looked good with the redesign:

and I thought they looked even better this year, with the addition of the subtle yellow stripes:

They're a unique look compared to the navy or white, which a lot of other schools already use.

I love em. Agree about the stripes though arent they white? Either way I'd snag a striped one in a heartbeat if they're on sale.

I thought they looked yellow on tv but now that you say that, I think they are white. Either way, a good look.
I think the first times baby blues were worn, people didn't like them, but eventually they've been accepted.
IIRC, in years past at least, one player gets to choose each game's color. I'm surprised they picked white so often, it's the blandest of the bunch.

I agree. It looks like underwear.
The golds have long been my favorites, but this year's striped baby blues were nice.
ND sucks

I also like the gold. I wouldn't mind seeing them go gold/light blue as the predominant colors with the white and navy becoming the "alternates." Navy and white are way more common as uniform colors, and plus I enjoy a good color-on-color matchup -- the way USC and UCLA do in football every year.
The whites are just hideous. A white uniform with black text on it. No interesting design at all. So bland and boring. Not to mention the uniform looks like a track uni. Idk why they wore it so much

It almost looks yellow on the sides of the jerseys, but white on the shorts.
Funny thing about the first Valor Blue picture, that was the one they sold at the Spirit Shop but the one on the court always had block "Marquette" letters across the front. Will have to try and find a picture.
One year is a small sample size. Would be curious to see this going back 10+ years.
Also it is skewed because the Navy is the only jersey they solely wore on the road.

Found it, was always strange that the other three had the rounded Marquette.

You're right, good catch. I actually like this one better.

Were these introduced for the 40th anniversary in 2007? Thus, the straight "Marquette" like the tuck outs? DB was after that but they stuck around for a bit. Although the women have the rounded baby blue design.
For the 100th uniforms they moved Marquette to below the number like the tuck outs.

These were first introduced for the 07-08 season, along with the blue, white, and gold. And then slightly redesigned in 2011 with the elimination of the shoulder patch. I cannot find a single game photo of a baby blue with the curved logo from that time period 2007-16. Even though what you could buy had the curved logo.
I found another photo of Wesley in this design which would of had to of been 2007-08 or 08-09. Always been curious as to why one was different so if anyone has any info. If it was for any anniversary I don't remember them making a big deal out of it.
Here is the women's jersey

Why didn't we wear the grey unis this year? I kind of like those. All time worst was the pink ones we had for a Villanova game a few years ago.
This would be a lot more meaningful if you had a larger sample size and looked at the score variation against the KenPom projected outcome. Just looking at wins and losses doesn't say much.

They sold the block letter baby blue when they switched to Jordan from converse.

I'm going to guess the laundry color has very little tangible impact on game outcomes or player production. It's only meaningful as a fan talking point.
I would wear a wicking polo in any of those themes.

We should start wearing IU shorts to truly gain an advantage: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23404878 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23404878)
QuoteHill and Barton (2005) showed that fighters in tae kwon do, boxing, and wrestling who wore red jerseys during the 2004 Olympic Games won more often than those wearing blue jerseys. Regarding these results, this study investigated the effects of jersey color during a combat situation on fighters' physical parameters of strength and heart rate. An artificial, experimental combat situation was created in which the color of sport attire was assigned randomly. Fourteen pairs of male athletes matched for weight, height, and age had to fight each other: once in a red jersey and once in a blue. Heart rate (before, during, and after the fight) and strength (before the fight) were tested wearing the blue and the red jerseys. Participants wearing red jerseys had significantly higher heart rates and significantly higher pre-contest values on the strength test. Results showed that participants' body functions are influenced by wearing red equipment.

Must be why the Hausers are transferring.
The proven advantage of red uniforms obviously explains all the national titles won by Coach K at Duke, John Wooden at UCLA, Jay Wright and Rollie Massimino at Nova, Roy Williams and Dean Smith at UNC, Jim Calhoun at UConn, Tom Izzo at MSU, John Calipari, Tubby Smith, Rick Pitino and Adolph Rupp at Kentucky...
