Just a little FYI for anyone going to the game on 02/10.
They are doing a stripe out but not providing T-Shirts. They will have T-Shirts available at the Spirt Shop for $12.95 if you don't have the color for your section. Color/Seating Chart is in the Tweet.
I'm sure this will go over well with the people.

The only way this works is if they have a sweater-vest stripe out. Otherwise it just never looks great on television.

Since MU is cheap, they should just do an NIL Out. Come dressed in your favorite player gear.
Agree, the stripe outs are lame.
Most schools have more than one school color. At UW and SJ games all you see is red. Just pick one; most MU fans where Gold. No need to complicate things.
Last year rally towels were handed out, not t-shirts. Just wear the color you have at home. Worked out well last year.
I disagree--I've seen the MU stripe-out look great on TV. With 3 colors, we can do what many schools cannot. Just go with it!
I'm honestly impressed with our ability to pull it off without shirts on the chairs.
Stripe out. Isn't that what happened to the perv at the Illinois game?

I agree it can look great, but have to provide the shirts. The towels didn't work because no one waved them.

They make great boat rags
I've been looking all season for a gold quarter zip online to no avail. I haven't gone in person to the Spirit shop because I'm too lazy. MU, Fanatics and Dick's has few gold items on line available.I agree, pick one color and be done.

The crabbiness of many of you never ceases to amaze. When they have them on the chairs - wrong size, hand them out at the door - long lines and run out of the size you want, ask people to wear what are now the 3 main MU colors - complain that there arent free t-shirts. Make up your mind about what you want to complain about.
It was worked GREAT the last few years. What MU fan doens't have Navy, Gold or Champ Blue at home already anyway?!

Spirit shop sells a fantastic golf quarter zip in gold.
I've noticed during big day games a lot of people leave the shirts behind (albeit on the second deck), especially from the game they handed out those "lost in the fight" t-shirts. Some people don't want to carry around a t-shirt all day if they walk to bars after. Dudes tend to just throw it over whatever they have on, but the women don't want to ruin their "NMD outfits" with a cheap t-shirt. (that's just my perspective, may have contributed to going the "cheap" route this year.
1st world problems apparently.

Disagree.....last year was fantastic (in person).
My seats are in the upper level in one of the dark blue sections (222).
I don't have a dark blue Marquette sweatshirt. Do you think anyone would notice if I wore a blue sweatshirt with a yellow MICHIGAN across the chest.
Still enjoying the football championship as the rebuild of the program is under way.

Word.
Our section is gold, and the four in my group will be golden!
We Are Marquette!
Here's the solution: make a bib-like garment in the color of choice for the section and put the on the seats. Says Marquette on front and can be worn over everything. There ya go lol

hey Carl, take it easy on my Achilles tendon
I was in Milwaukee for work today and stopped by the Spirit Shop at the AMU. I saw all of those colored shirts being put out but had no idea they were for the stripe out until later in the day. If I knew they were only $12.95, I definitely would've bought one even though I won't be at the game. I was looking for a t-shirt to go with the sweatshirt I bought, too.
Navy blue. Funny my wife got me a gold quarter zip for Christmas saying we always end up in the gold area and don't own anything gold.
8 of us in gold, 2 in the adjacent section in navy. A couple of months ago, I picked up shirts (80's MU establishments) for the group - of course in navy.

This. No shirts provided, but it looked great. I was amazed by that showing despite no t-shirts.
I love it and will be sporting championship blue.

They get stock in yet? The place was empty, like a Mensa convention featuring MU dentists only back in early January.

Spirit shop & marketing department sux
Just returned from a visit to the Spirit shop and IMO the selection of nice stuff is very limited. I was looking for a gold quarter zip, had some in small but no large. Not much else in solid gold. Manager said they can't get Nike product if it's gold or navy and gold, all getting a Michigan National Championship logo and selling like hot cakes.
Very little in men's large that i could find or women's medium for the wife.
