Can anyone tell me from what season/era this MU jersey was from and possibly who wore it?

Thx
No one would have worn a #7 jersey. In college, the numbers have to be able to be represented on one one and each. 00-5, 10-15, 20-25, 30-35, 40-45, 50-55. So no actual player ever officially wore that jersey. Style dates from the late 70's, I think.
That is from the late 70s or early 80's. The rule regarding numbers may not have been in place back then. It looks real to me.
looking at that poster of all the jerseys, looks like it could be the away jersey of 1981, same sides, all tiger-like, the number or player I have no clue on, but thats my guess on the year
I believe you are correct Mayor. It was the year Michael Wilson broke the backboard at Memphis St., I believe.
The NCAA began the uniform number rule for the 1957-58 season. So unless the uniform is from 1957 or earlier no one wore it.
From the NCAA Record Book - "Playing - Rules History" Section
"Uniforms: 1957-58, On uniforms, the use of the single digit numbers one and
two and any digit greater than five is prohibited. 1999-00, Uniform numbers one and
two are permitted."
ok so does anyone know why 1 or 2 wasn't allowed??? thats baffling
maybe because player numbers are used in foul situations.. and 1 and 2 fingers were indications of the number of shots the fouled player gets?
Spiral is right.
1 and 2 are not allowed for foul shot reasons.
but on that same token why is 3 allowed
There was no 3-pt shot in 1957, hence no 3 shot fouls.
Does anyone have an idea how I can research this jersey? Is there a database out there with an all-time MU roster with numbers? Or, does anyone know where there may be a picture of a player wearing this style of jersey? Thanks for any help...

It would be a lot of work, but you might be able to research old yearbooks. I know someone has a link to them.

It wasn't
that much work because that particular jersey was only used for two years. I checked the yearbooks around that time (see link below), but I couldn't figure out who it might have been. Looking at yearbook pictures, it appears that the jersey was only used in the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons (or at least pictures of it only appear in the 1980 and 1981 yearbooks). Unfortunately, there is no picture of a No. 7 in that I could find, and there are no team pictures. So, I can't say who it is. Even the pictures they do have are not usually captioned -- making it even harder to figure out who is who. Also, I did not notice any exceptions to the numbering system that has been discussed here (
i.e., no digits above 5).
One more thing: based upon the pictures in the yearbooks (and even the poster at the top of this page), the number on that jersey looks
awfully small.

Here's a little more information to add to my prior post relating to the yearbook photos. Maybe this will help. Most of these names don't mean a whole lot to me (I'm a 1991 grad and didn't grow up following Marquette). But there might be someone reading this thread who might remember something.
