Don't think so since they are for all student athletes, but I did purchase one because they are sick

Believe they are the same as the Maui and Atlantis jerseys the NIL site sold.
Just to make some extra NIL money.
Wouldn't catch me dead in something with a chicken on it.
Brings me back to the 90s. Love it

It's a great logo. I think many people just don't like it because it came with the end of the Warriors.
The logo is fine, just way to big if you're going to have the number and "Marquette" on the front. Feels like they tried to combine several ideas and it doesn't work at all IMO.

I actually like that version of the Golden Eagle logo. I have a steel grip on my Zephyr hat with that logo.

I think that logo is the best Golden Eagle logo MU has had (which really isn't saying much). As mentioned by someone though, it is way too big on here.
The vertical letters are the real winner here though. Overall pretty slick.

Yeah I was making fun of the people on here who say they'll never buy anything that Golden Eagles on it or has the logo on it. I've said many times that if we're going to continue to have a lame name, at least use the 2003 logo.
I don't wear jerseys but if they created that design on a hoodie or a long sleeve shirt, I'd buy one instantly.
I think it's ugly AF. Really hope they never wear that monstrosity in a game.
Or a rugby
I kinda like it. Not sure I'd ever wear it, but I think it looks cool.
It's for the birds.

I wrote in Yellow Canaries when Warriors was not even considered as a mascot. So much for "democracy".

When did Marquette claim it was a democracy?

They certainly pitched it that way.

They had a vote and said "Warriors" wouldn't be considered.

...but that was after they realized the overwhelming majority of alums would have voted for Warriors so they took it off the table denying the will of the alumni.

That's not accurate. After Gold was dropped, the Trustees developed a two-vote process that included write-ins, but made it clear from the beginning that Warriors was not going to be counted. Here is the release:

Jumping Jesuits should have won
This thread behooves me to say they should have kept the name and just gotten rid of the Willy wopom logo/character

Voting infers a democratic process and if your write-in vote will not count that is not democratic thereby denying the will of a majority of alumni at the time who wanted to keep the Warrior mascot. Why pretend to have a vote when your vote does not count.

Right. Which is why I asked the question...

They didn't "pretend to have a vote." They had two of them.
If anyone wants to see all of the write-ins, I kept this file for the past 19.5 years for some reason. I was partial to the Bumble Bees (semi-serious) or Golden Guernseys (not really).
As a 1990 grad I have made it my mission to not purchase (or allow anyone in my family to purchase) any MU attire that has any reference to the Eagle. I do not judge others as they can do what they will but it is my personal choice.
Long live the Warriors.
Hilltoppers for 40 ish years. Warriors for 40 years. Golden Eagles for 30 years. My wife purchased for me a tee shirt with the first Warrior image on it. I wore it once, buried it in a dresser drawer for 20 years and ultimately gave it away. Could not wear it again in good conscience.
Yeah I'm a '90 grad too and stopped caring long ago about the nickname.

Even democracies have rules. If the majority of people wrote in "George Washington" for President of the United States, would he become the President?
Explorers or Golden Avalanche was the way to go.
I can't believe I am so old* that the oringal Eagle drawing is now retro

I have to assume we've reached the point where there are more Golden Eagle alums than Warrior alums.

Right. The President has to be 35 years old. They have to be born in the United States.

They only get two terms.

No one may be elected to the Presidency more than twice. There is still some question whether or not a two-term President may be elected Vice President and then serve as President if the President resigns. It all depends on how the Courts interpret the 12th Amendment.
c'mon guys

Warriors never die we just fade away.
If Scoop had any says, we'd be the Marquette Worriers.
