Title: New Jerseys?
Post by: JPapi2525 on April 04, 2011, 11:36:43 PM
I remember hearing a while back that we will be getting new Jordan brand jerseys this upcoming season.  Does anyone know anything of this or was I dreaming thinking we were getting knew unis.

If the rumor is true... what are you guys feeling for design, color, how many jerseys etc...

We will be getting new jerseys next year, and I have no idea what they'll look like. Broeker tweeted awhile back that he thought the fans will love what Nike came up with.

As much as I like our current ones, I love the idea of becoming the small private school with the creative uniforms again. Looking forward to seeing what they look like.

Dont be surpirsed if they just do the cookie-cutter thing in the back with the designs (like Uconn, Cuse, Duke, St. Johns, etc). They might also make them more dri-fit because thats the style these days, the lighter the better. Hope those are the only two changes but we'll have to wait a while first.

Officially the dri-fit style is called System of Dress.  It was really popular a few years ago with Syracuse, Kentucky, Ohio State rocking them.  They had the real tight fitting tops with huge baggy shorts that would be pants on most people.  If they go cookie cutter with the new uniforms, which we don't need in the first place, I for one will be listening to all the games next year.

If our unis look like anyone I would suspect the uniforms end up looking like UNC, Cal and Georgetown since those are the other Jordan Brand schools.

I hope not, though.  I like having the best looking uniforms in college athletics.

Those are not 'cookie cutter'.  They are for elite teams, and I personally think they look awesome.

Post by: nathanziarek on April 05, 2011, 11:10:43 AM
Nike may take some cues from the Elite styling, but the design will mimic UNC/Georgetown/Cal as fellow Brand Jordan schools.

I, too, like the idea of being the small school with the interesting uniforms. I'm kind of hoping they use MU as the basketball version of Oregon (http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/anna_griffin/index.ssf/2011/01/espns_uniform_expert_expounds.html).

Really hoping Nike doesn't botch this.

How are they not 'Cookie Cutter'? Isn't the reason you use a cookie cutter is to get the same thing every time?  Aren't those 'elite teams' uniforms the same therefore being of a 'cookie cutter' style?  Those back designs just look like huge sweat stains after a while.

They do, and it's really hard to see the unique design on the back designs even when they aren't sweat through.  MU has had great, unique uniforms for years and I'd hate to see us look like everyone else with the Jordan Brand, even if they are elite bball programs.

Agree with you.  Love our current uni's.  Switching uniform styles all the time reduces your "brand equity."  Get a signature look and stick with it for a long time - think the current uniforms do that, and do it well.

Don't know about that.  The "signature and brand" during Al's days was how MU often changed their uni's and were always cutting edge.  Can see the same with MU now.

Agreed.  I absolutely despise the Oregon football uniforms but they were the first team with the Nike Pro Combat uniform system.  Look how that has exploded after they used it.

Eh, it works both ways.  Yeah, you've got teams like Oregon that change their unis every game, but you've also got teams like Indiana, UNC, UCLA, and Kentucky that really haven't messed around with their look all that much.

Right.  But since we've been messin' with our look all the time, we need to keep being at the front edge of the new looks.  We can't be like those Steady Eddies.  But I do think that our current unis will be hard to top.

I think the key here is keeping at the edge of our own style rather than the cookie cutter new looks that the big corps come out with.

My only suggestions are to keep the sweet checkering on the sides and shorts, and adjust the lettering on the front, make it more like the light blues.  Totally in agreement, the unis will probably be on par with UNC, Georgetown, and other Jordan brand schools, and we'll probably be rocking that dry-fit stuff on the back, too, if I were to put a bet on it.

Completely agree. The colors and checkered sides are great, the lettering/numbers would be better if they were smaller, more like the baby blues.
Title: Re: New Jerseys?
Post by: MUfan12 on April 05, 2011, 02:50:42 PM
The biggest thing I want to see in the new uniforms is some consistency with the numbers/lettering. Always thought the block wordmark looked odd with the bubble-like numbers. And the stationary "retro" font on the baby blues is gross. That better not be anywhere near this new set.

I loved the block lettering on the 01-03 jerseys. I've said it before, but get rid of the shoulder yolks, and use that lettering and it would be the perfect uniform.

The biggest thing I want to see in the new uniforms is some consistency with the numbers/lettering. Always thought the block wordmark looked odd with the bubble-like numbers.

I thought the same thing initially.  In fact, I jokingly called our current duds "Franken-unis" because they combined so many seemingly random elements from uniforms past/present/future.  From what I understand, the players cherry-picked what they liked, stirred the pot, and our present unis were the result.  I grew to love them, and I got one tacked to the wall of my man-cave.  I'm sure my kids will call it hideous someday and wonder what people were thinking back in the 00's.

As for our '11-'12 unis, I'd like the players to have input, and I'd like the jerseys to reflect their style, personality etc.  I dread the idea of Nike offering something that's designed for mass appeal or just putting Marquette's name on the Nike Elite uni template, so to speak.

And while I generally like the idea of tradition when it comes to uniforms, I think Marquette's historical tradition is forward looking innovation (as contradictory as that may seem).  So hopefully the new uni's reflect that.

Right, which looks like nothing from those awful Nike Elite years post D-Wade Final 4. It is no secret that the current unis are influenced by throw backs. The current jerseys debuted when Wade and MU were sponsored by Converse. Was it someone at Converse that created this template/design?

Would it be possible to have the bumble bee pattern just on the shorts and then the jerseys could remain with the same stripes on the side so it isn't a complete bumble bee?

or is that too distracting to the other teams?

These teams have won like a combined 25 national championships too.  Kind of comparing apples to oranges.  I'm sure those designs on the UNC jersey were cutting edge at one point.  As for Kentucky, they can not be considered with the other schools mentioned once you check out these beauties

Added the checkered piping.  Turned out pretty well. 

I'm also thinking I could add 3D glasses on the player and possibly a bazooka.  What do you think?  Add a pet dog in there too?   :P

I think if our uniforms had bazookas, we'd get ranked pre-season top 10.

From UniWatch:

Ryan Mandel think Nike may have inadvertently leaked Marquette’s new hoops uni: “I was looking on the niketeam.com website where you can customize Nike jerseys and noticed a new Marquette design. When you click on the jersey to customize (click on “Modified Basketball” and then “Team ID Plus Jersey” and you can click on the jerseys and preview them), it shows four options for the jersey, three of which were already customized as a Marquette jersey in white, navy, and yellow.”

Pretty similar, but interesting number font....

Link worked for me.  

The lettering isn't the "bubble lettering" we have seen.  Much cleaner font with gold lettering (but blue numbers) on the white jersey.  White numbers on the navy and gold jerseys with gold and navy letters respectively.  They also have a unique navy trim on the bottom of the shorts.

I like them.  They combine the best of the former, such as the multi-colors down the side, with the look of Nike.

I bet there will be a light blue alternate with gold lettering...very nice.

You are looking too much into this.  These may or may not actually be the new uniforms.  And anyway it is just a template they use for design purposes.  There could be a black.  There could be a light blue.  And there is still plenty of room for "AL" lettering.

I like the wave at the bottom of the shorts actually. The font wouldn't be my first choice but as long as they keep the stripes on the side, I'm confident they will still be some of the best unis in the nation. I like that they cleaned them up a bit.

What if they are making that wordmark part of the brand?  Soccer and volleyball have the same word mark on their jerseys.

They have put their own touches on it.  They changed it to the system of dress style, removed the colored shoulders, and changed the shorts up.

I think the fonts are just a place holder for the template (especially because Arizona and Cal have the same fonts on that site) so I think the wordmark is still very much a possiblity.

Could be mistaken here, but that "Marquette" wordmark is a brand of Marquette University athletics.  It's on pretty much all of the varsity sports jerseys. 

I do agree with Titan and think that it's just a place holder for something more 'Marquette-specific' rather than a stock font Nike decides to use.

Marquette Hall probably.  Would make the most sense don't you think considering that it's on almost everything academic related.  I do believe that if they do that sweat-back-pattern, it will be a combination of Marquette Hall, AL, and other iconic symbols that make Marquette unique.

And it looks like those are very close.  The 3/4 view of the gold uni has the same side striping that gets wider towards the bottom on the shorts as the picture that the athletic department put up on Twitter:

Being from the east coast....all of my friends and anyone I talk to after they find out I went to Marqeutte...always come to the same conclusion....that Marquette has the best uniforms in college basketball....Probably at least 95% if not more of the people that I talk to regarding college bball.

Why change something dramatically that is one of the main reasons that make Marquette basketball unique to every other team..?

I agree with that for all four kit colors. Blue/baby blue/white on the gold, blue/baby blue/gold on the white, blue/white/gold on the baby blue, and baby blue/gold/white on the blue. I love how the side stripes look here:

(http://statsheet.com/images/articles/2008/3/200803122235813526490-p2.jpeg)

Short of alternating the side striping colors by shirt, they could also use the unused color as a barrier. So if they kept the blue/baby blue/gold pattern on the gold, have a white stripe trailing down the borders of the side stripes to give definition, somewhat like these shirts:

(http://www.cstvauctions.com/images/auctions/18/Grimm_Navy_Front.jpg)

If they do a micro design, I hope that it's something subtle. The Duke one is way over the top, but Gonzaga's isn't too bad other than that it says "Go Zags" which seems cheesy.

Im pretty sure they're sticking to the baby blues. It just looks darker because its on the gold.

I'm attaching an article about the new Nike uniform program from the Carolina pay site that goes into more detail about the technology.

To me, that article indicates that designers and marketers think they play a bigger role in the college landscape than they actually do. Just about every football recruit that goes to Oregon sites their facilities as being one of the top (if not the top) reason for going there; their facilities are the best in the country, hands down.

There are any number of youtube videos of their facilities:

Undoubtedly their facilities matter.  But I think unique uniforms are part of what makes them unique.  In many ways I feel that this historically has been the same with MU basketball.  And I hope that continues.  I don't mind the graphic on the jersey, etc.

Interesting observation, but wouldn't it look weird to have that on there and put the BE logo in the same spot? I'm not too familiar with these jerseys with the subtle-ish back design, but to me it would seem strange to have a design and then slap the BE logo directly on it.

I agree.  But whatever the graphics are, there's going to be a number and a name on it too.  Here is a photo of Duke's (http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=3676228&SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=4200#) (you can click on it and blow it up).  Here's Kentucky with a state right at the top of the graphic.

Edited to add Villanova. (http://www.crossingbroad.com/2011/01/villanova-rocks-new-nike-hyper-elite-jerseys.html)

I think that the one linked above (http://yfrog.com/z/hw7ksbj) looks like it's going to be Marquette Hall.  And this doesn't surprise me too much...they really use that image a lot.  If that's right, I wonder if there's going to be anything else in there along with that (e.g., Al, Eagle, MU, etc.).

Actually the Kentucky one has a building exactly in the same place.  With the "peaks" on top of whatever that image is, it looks very much like it could be some variation of the University logo.  I don't think you will see anything like an eagle on these things.  My guess is that the MU logo will be below the number.

Duke's is clearly based upon a building on their campus.  I think it's Marquette Hall (at least in part) for two reasons:  1) MU really pimps that image even if it is not necessarily generally associated with the basketball team; and 2) that's what the enlarged photo really looks like to me (I think you can even make out three of the spires).  I might be wrong; we'll see.

The designs other schools use have varied.  As I said, Duke's is based on a chapel on campus.  Gonzaga's is just a silly graphic.  Kentucky's appears to be a combination of a wildcat, retired numbers and some other stuff.

I guess I agree with everyone else; it definitely appears like we'll have Marquette Hall, and I'm fine with that. What I don't get is why they wouldn't adjust the design by an inch so that the peak of the building doesn't get covered by the logo. But I'm not paid to make these decisions.

And here is the Duke University Chapel

From texaswarrior's link from the last page:

"Duke was one of the first schools that rolled out aerographics. We took a historic building on campus, and had to get involved with the administration to make sure we could use it. Some people were really mad about it, saying, “Hey, that’s a church, what are you doing using that on a uniform?” So we had to be very direct in saying that we don’t commercialize that exact image, and it’s not going to be sold. When you get past that, the coaches and athletic directors came back to us and said, “You really captured the soul of the school on our back. It’s great.”

I agree...to a point.  I would have the exact same reaction ("ugh") if the back of the jersey was just a "big ole bust of Al."  Many of the jerseys that are using this technique have a bit of a collage feel to them.  If the jersey is going to have multiple images (and I'm still guessing that Marquette Hall will be the dominant image), I wouldn't object to the Al image being incorporated.  If it's the dominant image...ugh.

If you look at the full size of the photo, you can clearly see the perforation on the back.  What's that sticking up among the perforation in the middle?  Is it Marquette Hall?  Looks like it's probably Crowder's jersey in the picture.


I just realized that my earlier post was a nice example of "missing the forest for the trees."  I was looking at the "W" and partial "O" in the name on the back of the jersey and brilliantly deduced that it was "probably" Crowder's jersey.  That big "32" on the front might have been a decent clue as well.  Doh!

Sorry. Take away my Warrior Card, but that's ugly. They remind me of the knockoff soccer jerseys you'd see being sold on the street in Pilsen, with a player's name and number on the back, and a picture of that same player on the jersey itself, or those god-awful NBA Raptors, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Hawks jerseys of the late 90s.

The elements are disjointed, and the end result looks like a kindergartener's magazine collage. I don't understand what was wrong with nothing on the back but the player's name and number. Take away the back design and it's as good a uniform as I've ever seen Marquette in. The back design, while probably designed with the best of intentions and substantial imput from the University, is just so completely and utterly unnecessary.

The irony is that MU's press release will likely say the new uniform's back design makes it "uniquely Marquette," when in reality, MU's jerseys were already unique, and by copping to Nike's back-design template, they have actually made Marquette's uniforms LESS unique.


Maybe they'll grow on me, but for now, I think they're pretty fugly.

IMHO, too much detail and too many elements. Nothing wrong with trying the concept but I like a more subtle feel to those types of jerseys. I would have just had some simple repeating text with the Curas Personalis theme, or one large Al logo, or the a huge MU logo that blends in better with curas personalis underneath. It also seems weird that it is just in the middle of the jersey and is cut off at the bottom and sides.

Like a lot of others, I'm not a big fan of the graphics on the back of jerseys.  I can't believe that I'm saying this (particularly in light of the fact that I was one of the ones hoping they'd use this Al image), but I think that they almost hit this one out of the park.  Remove the Al image and I think that this is a great, under-stated design.  But I think the Al image just screws it up.

Maybe I the reason I feel this way is because I just don't like these graphics, and if you took out those out-stretched arms, this graphic would pretty much disappear under the name/number/logo and it would just look like pattern of perforation.

Post by: Benny B on September 06, 2011, 10:50:49 AM
I'd give it a B-... the vision is there, but the final product simply lacked execution.

However, I'm willing to give MU a pass on this one.  If the players are stoked about the new design (which apparently at least one is), that's all that matters.  After all, the uniforms are not designed for the fans, they're designed for the people wearing them, and as long as they have street cred, that's good enough for me.  Think of the uni's as a recruiting tool, not a revenue source.

So who cares what we think about it.  Jerseys are for the kids... all we should be discussing is the 2011 re-design of the MU sweater-vest.

So, what do you think?

I think it's weird that they chose to release it to us with a single digit number when the design is clearly catered toward double digits (open space on the sides and Al being in the middle).  That being said, I like it.  I think it will look much better with a double digit number since Al's face will be peeking out and only parts of his arms should be covered.  Also, it won't have as much negative space on the edges that make the middle look as cluttered as it does now.  I think they did the smart thing by not including any Golden Eagle related things so as to not give alumni another thing to complain about as well.

As someone who has long disliked the ghost image on jerseys, these are pretty tame.  They're not too busy.  I'm happy that Al's on there, but the designers should have taken into account that his face would be covered by single digit unis.  
I like that they have Latin on there, causes people to take a second and look it up and possibly learn a bit about the Jesuit mission.  

All in all, I'd give it a 8.5.  I really like the other changes - shoulders and stripes - enough that this is a positive than the previous.  And it will be a matter of time before a lot more schools go with this design.  I know we will see some truly awful ghost graphics on jerseys in the near future.  

I'd be interested to see a 0 uniform number, if Al's face falls right in the middle of it.

I tend to agree with T-Bone's assessment.  It's OK, and I'm much happier about changing the shoulder-strap thing.  The back graphics provide a lot of opportunity to screw it up, and this is relatively benign.  We can gripe about Al getting covered, but overall, it could have been worse.

His face won't be covered. If you get rid of the idiotic circle design with the MU on the back which is entirely unnecessary I think it looks great. The 1881 and the Cura Personalis look fine without the circle, and everything else IMO is awesome.
Title: Re: New Jerseys?
Post by: T-Bone on September 06, 2011, 11:32:45 AM
Actually, if you bumped Al up on the design and the number down just a bit, I think you could get Al's head above the number and make his outstretched arms look like they're embracing the player's name.  Which would be a slight improvement - though it would depend on how low the number actually went, might be weird.

I'm with the crowd that thinks the idea of the back graphic is a bit off, but if we were going to do it, it could've been much worse. I like what was selected, and even if a bit cluttered, it is a pretty nice Marquette cross section.  The only thing I might have liked incorporated was the "We're Uptown People" sign from the championship run. But thats picking nits to the extreme.

A larger point for me is that can this please signal the end of the chicken hawk?  The university bascially had its chance to put any number of logos, symbols, sayings, etc on the back of the jersey and whether it was Nike, its lack of popularity, or whatever other reason, it didnt even make the cut.  Hopefully the powers that be PLEASE get the message that if the hawk couldnt be squeezed in amongst 4 other symbols, it shouldnt be the main logo on anything and that no one wants it

Not that it matters, but I believe the circle is intended to bridge the beginning (1881) to the present (MU logo) in MU history.  The circle may be a basketball or possibly it is meant to signify the "circle of life".  Perhaps both.

Not that it matters, but I believe the circle is intended to bridge the beginning (1881) to the present (MU logo) in MU history.  The circle may be a basketball or possibly it is meant to signify the "circle of life".  Perhaps both.

Even on the full size version (http://yfrog.com/z/18copcj) I'm having trouble figuring out what the circle is supposed to be (and I'd recommend taking a look at the huge full-size version).


It's growing on me.  I'm looking forward to seeing one with two numbers. I'd also like to see a blank with no number/name.

According the Athletic Department, it's just a circle design - no meaning behind it.

A larger point for me is that can this please signal the end of the chicken hawk?  The university bascially had its chance to put any number of logos, symbols, sayings, etc on the back of the jersey and whether it was Nike, its lack of popularity, or whatever other reason, it didnt even make the cut.  Hopefully the powers that be PLEASE get the message that if the hawk couldnt be squeezed in amongst 4 other symbols, it shouldnt be the main logo on anything and that no one wants it


I have been saying this for some time...the chicken has been de-emphasized, if not completely eliminated, from all imagery regarding the men's basketball team.  I see it in connection with other athletic teams, but never in connection with basketball.  (And I mean on uniforms, warm-ups, logos on the floor, etc.  I understand that they sell chicken t-shirts with a basketball on them.)

OK, where can I get a baby blue sweater vest with the MU ghost design on the back?

They're still taking suggestions for the design... much like the jerseys incorporate the tradition of the basketball program, the sweater-vest is going to incorporate the tradition of how we alumni like to bitch about really petty stuff.  So far, the suggestions are to include such images as:

1) A chicken being strangled,
2) A deflated football,
3) A municipal court hearing,
4) A half-empty student section,
5) An elderly alum asleep in choice seats at a basketball game,
6) A TWC black-out notice,
7) Tournament brackets superimposed over the state of California,
8) The word "JUCO" in block lettering,
9) Buzz not being able to reach something on the top shelf,
10) A picture of Chicos with the word "banned" over it,
11) Caricatures of Syracuse, UCONN, WVU, and 13 others on a school bus named "BIG EAST" waiving to a teary caricature of Marquette as it drives away.
12) A big ol' middle finger centered over the south central portion of the state, approx. the same latitude as Milwaukee, just about 60 miles west.

What have I missed?

The circle just seems really unnecessary, and it would've nicer to see Marquette Hall a bit bigger...seems kinda skinny and not well designed for something like this, esp since that is the #1 image MU wants to be associated with the school.

I wouldve appreciated just the Al and Marquette Hall on the back, and nothing else. Simpler is better for something like this design-wise.

That's the point. These jersey's are supposed to represent Marquette and be something for the team. Like when Pitt designed their back - they made sure to include "The Oakland Zoo" b/c they feel the students are part of the team. Unless you're a hard core fan, you wouldn't know that.

It's not the question of "isn't that enough" rather if you're going to put an image of him on there, why cover him up? Might as well not even use him at all.

I can see some people not familiar with MU saying this season, "I didn't know Richard Nixon went to Marquette."

At least, skew/rotate the image so it shows what should be seen: one of MU's most iconic figures in an unforgettable pose

No matter what the new jerseys would have looked like, the MU community would have been divided on the design since everyone has their own aesthetic preferences. I think adding "Cura Personalis" to the jerseys was a nice way to round out putting Marquette Hall and Al in the same space. I'm sure ESPN will make brief mention of the design in pre-game segments, so anyone who is unsure about what exactly is being depicted will probably pick up on it soon enough.

Super excited to see these in HD!

The Spirit Shop will probably start selling the new jerseys sometime in October?  Most likely online also?  This is great insider info!

I'm talkin' 'bout the font on the baby blue jerseys.  Those are the ones inspired by the '74's with the same side striping, and the different font on the baby blues looks retro compared to the "Marquette" wordmark on the whites, golds and navys.

Got to see them up close today and I'm a believer. I had them at a 7.5 out of ten but in person they are much closer to a 9. The "watermark" can only be seen from very close up and even looks better on other players. Here's what it looks like on Otule (http://blogs.marquettetribune.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/MG_0820.png)

Want to make the baby blues look unique? Pattern the front after the 76-77 aways. Put "Marquette" below the number. That is unique. An unoriginal font taken off some letterhead is boring and looks like crap.

That's what I thought also after further review.  The jersey and shorts look like they're the same color as the stripe on the side, which has to be the baby blue since there isn't a white stripe.

I still think they should use that font on all the jerseys.
Title: Re: New Jerseys?
Post by: BrewCity83 on September 12, 2011, 10:19:19 AM
I think the pinks could be pretty cool if they had some form of the striping down the side...it would have to be the right shade of pink for it not to clash with the blues and gold.  Maybe eliminate the gold and have the stripes in navy/baby blue/white.  That might look ok.
