In 50yrs of following MU, these unis are in my top 5 for really uninspiring, they look like they should be worn by Greco-Roman. wrestlers
-
I love them
-
Put me in the camp of people who love our current uniforms. I honestly think all are great except the navy blues, which just feel average to me.
-
I miss the Al years when MU yearly had new & innovative uniforms every year....
-
I love them
Hey. We agree on something.
-
I hope that Wojo puts an "NIT" patch on them to show how proud he was to make the NIT this spring.....
-
Love these unis
-
Current unis are horrid. At least they ditched the gray ones.
-
Wasn't sold on them at first. Thought the cut looked weird, but they have grown on me. I am partial to the thicker side stripes of the Buzz era and wish they wouldn't have just slapped it on the waistband, but I like the incorporation of all the different designs from the past 100 years.
Not sure when they would look to make a change. I mean if they wanted to be "new and cutting edge" they could all ditch the shorts and go straight sweatpants! 8-)
-

Yep. The grey ones looked like old-timey underwear.
-
I also like this year's uniforms.
Back in the day, Al was a pioneer in many ways...and one was his getting MU to change uniform styles frequently. These days, teams change their uniforms all the time, so another change would just make us one of the crowd.
-
The only problem I have with the current uniforms is the cut of them. The design is outstanding. But the cut is what all Nike uniforms have gone to. Just like when they all went to the super baggy shorts with the super tight tops like 5-10 years ago. The cut will change soon enough.
-
I can guarantee there will be new unis next year, because-- merchandising sales. (And I like this year's)
-
Wouldn't mind if we took "AL" and the US Flag off. They feel too NASCARy right now. Otherwise I like the design. Though if we switched, I would be OK because I think that's our brand. Our tradition is no tradition.
-
Man, they need a focus group, because the feedback is all over the map here.
I agree with Lens that it feels hodge-podgey. We tried really hard to borrow from our history, but it ended up feeling thrown together.
I think the Buzz-area stripes really aged once everyone did it - I appreciate that they tried to do something different. That said, the stripes are TOO thin now that unless you are in person, it looks more or less like a solid block, which lends to them feeling a bit bland.
I think the cut is great for what the kids are looking for, though it automatically takes us out of contention with the Ox body types.
-
I'd love to see a refreshed version of the Doc Rivers-era camo sides.
-
Calling Project Runway!
-
I think these are my favorites since I started following the team
-
Think it’s time to blow the stink off these unis and get some new ones. I liked the days, also, when we changed up often with outstanding and innovative designs.
-
I like these and wouldn’t mind them sticking for another year or two. However, when we change would love to do something completely different (no remakes) — particularly since we have the ultimate homage Unis now.

Duration of Markus & Sam's tenure, then refresh again. Down with that.

I don't mind the "Al" on the neckline but the flag has to go. Hoping for a redesign, I don't like the "Marquette" below the number, it looks tacky, and the cut looks like a swimsuit Abe Simpson would wear. I do like that the "Marquette" is not in the wordmark and instead in block letters, that was a great decision.
-
Ditch the baby blue. Seems like we lose every time we wear it.
-
Plain white t's (and plain white shorts)

Plain white t's (and plain white shorts)
With "DePaul" on them until they earn the right to be called Marquette

This year's uniforms are hideous, bland and boring. Kinda match the demeanor of the coach. Nothing flashy, utilitarian.

These uniforms are anything but bland and boring. The stodgy B1G has a plethora of bland, boring coaches and unis. Since you're apparently big on incendiary coaching demeanor, what do you suggest for a design? How about a hologram-ish
Oz-like Bob Knight emerging from flames?...complete with his mocking "game face" directly under the school name.....would that do it for ya?
-
I too dislike the cut of the jersey but that's an issue with Nike. My only real problem is with how much I liked our old set. Hard to beat in my mind. These are fine though.
-
I appreciate what these unis did in terms of the 100 years of basketball homage. That being said, I really don't like them all that much and hope we change to something else soon. I really liked most of the unis we had in the ~10 years prior.

I hated them at first. Until I realized, as you state, how they perfectly pay homage and tie-in to 100 years of our MU hoops. I actually really like them now. I can't think of one era of our unis that I didn't like. Yes, though, very hard to top our Buzz era threads. Every year I thought I should be tiring of them...but never did.
Given our history of cutting-edge design, I'd be shocked if we didn't usher in the new arena with another new uniform.

Yup. They were a nice tribute but let's keep things fresh.

These are my least favorite uniforms by far since I started watching in 2003.
-

LOL

Love this version. I do think you could clean them up a bit by removing the flag as people have mentioned, but they're a solid design.

While I like the uniforms, it is interesting that men's basketball jerseys are completely unique and different in style than every other uniform set at the school. Men's Basketball is the only one that does not utilize its current word marks or imagery.
In addition, the jerseys in comparison to the court design are not aligned. The court has royal blue out-of-bounds lines and a darker wood within the paint. With our old court design and jersey combination, they were very much partnered together.
I like the jerseys for their uniqueness. I am not a fan in regards to the way the current uniforms matchup to the branding and identity of the school's current logos.

You make a good point about matching the court. I think there is a higher chance we get a court redesign for the new arena than we get new unis

I actually really like the court design. Looks so much better than the one Marquette was using before.

Its better than what we had in CUSA, but other than adding the stripes on the sideline by the opponents bench and diagonal across we haven't done much since joining the Beast. I like the MU at center, mostly because I think the alternative would be the screaming chicken, but if these NIT rules go into effect for all NCAA games, we'd need a new court regardless, and not at least looking at a new design would be a missed opportunity IMO.
-
The unis look like we stole a box of old practice jerseys from Michigan. Horrible.
-
Whatever we do with uniforms, they must emphasize two colors: GOLD and BABY BLUE.
So much of the rest of our league wears blue and white (Georgetown, Nova, Xavier, Creighton, Butler), but no one else uses anything close to the baby blue shade we do. The gold/yellow is completely unique in the conference.
Along with St. Johns and DePaul, we're holding up the rest of the conference when it comes to being visually striking. Other leagues (ACC- Cuse, UNC, Miami, etc or Big Ten- Michigan/St, Bucky, Illinois, etc) have a huge variety of colors.
-

I, too like the current court. The lighting is weird on TV, a little darker/yellowish or something compared to other courts. Or maybe I just have a brain tumor or something.
Don't like the current unis all that much. Seem a little bland to me, which is not traditionally MU's style.
-
You guys have inspired me to give it a go at designing a new court (easier than unis because its 2d).
Credit to GoldenWarrior11 for the outside matching to our current unis.
Wanted to see a new logo at center, nothing wrong with the current one, just wanted to see something different and the only other alternative would be the screaming chicken, which I don't like.
Liked the MU logo enough to keep it but moved to replace the AL logo, and give Rowsey a spot to launch from.
Wanted to keep Al somewhere so I moved him to the paint and slid the Big East logo to the baseline. Obviously couldn't go there because of the arc.
Not sold on the powder blue around the perimeter, but I wanted it on more than just center court, because I like the powder blue.
Also forgive the horrendous wood texture that I used, I threw this together kinda quickly.
Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Tried to incorporate "We are Marquette" somewhere but no color shows up well on the bumblebee.
-
Looks good. However, get rid of the state logo at center court. MU is a private, Catholic institution. We don't want to be too closely associated with the UW-Mouthbreather schools ;)
-
I like the new jerseys fine. But I definitely preferred the version we wore during the Buzz years, but that baggy style isn't seen much around CBB these days.
-
I miss the uniforms of the last 5-6 years. These look awful and uncomfortable. Remember a few years ago when Marquette had the best ranked jerseys in the nation??
-

Yep. I think it is pretty odd that the floor of Xavier's on-campus arena has the outline of the Cincinnati skyline - especially since there is an actual University of Cincinnati.

Before I get set on fire...
What would folks think about the Jumpman on the court? Lots of teams are putting ads on their courts, and I couldn't think of a cooler one than the Jordan logo.

I'd rather a silhouette of the one time Davante got all the way up for a dunk.

My favorite ones were the ones we wore during 2013 when we made the Elite 8. Really disappointed they thought these new ones were better than those
-
Taking a step back, I really love our current MU branding. It has a classic feel, despite being relatively new, and it incorporates our colors from a variety of periods - no easy feat. The Golden Eagle alternate logo is very cartoonish, but that is why it is an alternate and not the main logo. I believe our former set of uniforms perfectly represented that brand, as well as our court design. Our new uniforms are obviously representative of multiple eras, so it is hard for them to fully be representing of our current branding.
I came across this court design online (it is not mine and would gladly give credit if I knew who did it), and I think it is very stylish. It includes a nod to the MECCA court design, while having our colored stripes along the sidelines. I would get rid of the Golden Eagle in the short corners, as they look out of place. The MU should still remain on half court.
-
I'm a fan of the wood finish look for the lane. I think painting it a solid colour like blue is just a bit too busy.
-
Yep. I think it is pretty odd that the floor of Xavier's on-campus arena has the outline of the Cincinnati skyline - especially since there is an actual University of Cincinnati.
I love the court-skyline trend thats going around right now. I think the new and improved Milwaukee skyline has the potential to be really striking on the court. Imagine the Calatrava at one end, then the two skyscrapers, city hall, Marquette Hall and Gesu, then Miller Park on the other end.
-
A great marketing promotion would be to have Bo Ellis design our uniforms again. I am sure he would love to do it and it would definitely catch the attention of the media.

The level of detail that you can do with this would not do the Calatrava justice. You would also run into some scaling problems

No thank you.
Agree - the only thing worse than this is the pot-induced court design going on at Oregon

Depends on how much Nike is willing to spend to put it there.

If anyone should have that, it should be UWM - and only UWM. Just replace Marquette Hall and Gesu with a couple of their *snicker* architecturally significant buildings.

WOAT - Northwestern's court from a few years back
(http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2011/1215/grant_baylor6_576.jpg)
Looks like they simply got a bunch of gradeschoolers to fill in the space between the paint and the 3-point circle with magic marker.
Purple happens to be my favorite color, and Northwestern seems hell-bent on ruining it for me. See also: their purple football pants.

I like the sidelines, but it should say "MARQUETTE" boldly on the endlines in gold. Also, at center court, how about a large navy/gold/babyblue rectangle that matches the belt of our current shorts? Possibly with the MU logo inside it.

The stripes all the way down the sideline would be cool but those have been prohibited since the old Philly Spectrum court. Sidelines have to be a solid color.
I like the huge MU in the middle but not with the Marquette banner. I remember that eventually that was supposed to go away. Having to put the name of the school in your logo is small time. The MU is recognized now on its own.
I wouldn't mind a return to the 2002 and 2003 unis with the block lettering. I like Nova and Xavier's simple 80's throwbacks that they've busted out. Maybe add in the camo from the Doc Rivers days.

Any home floor that ends in a happy ending, i am up for, aina?

Calling on bo Ellis! As long as he ain’t coaching(presently in athletics admin. In Chicago) might as well ask him to reach into his inner creativity for us once again

I'd rather a silhouette of the one time Davante got all the way up for a dunk.
A davante silhouette with a bball in one hand and a beef n cheddar in the other.
Lock it topper.

With a smudge of Horsey Sauce on his silhouette lips to top it off. I am quite sure that a Season Ticket Holder of the Game can make this happen.

I like this idea.
Also, how about Bill Scholl and Joe True get on the phone with reps from Untuck It, the makers of custom-tailored untucked casual shirts, for an advertising partnership?

While the PC police most likely wouldn't allow an image of Gesu on the court, wouldn't Marquette Hall look cool at center court? Didn't Tom Crean-era BC have this image on the floor, or am I not remembering correctly? DUKE did this at one time with one of their academic buildings. I know I have a gold Crean-era MU Hoops tee with Marquette Hall positioned prominently.
-
I didn’t know this until recently, but gesu ain’t Marquette
On another note-how’s about the classic silhouette of al in the center or in each lane of both his hands raised in victory-bonus would be of the highs dad in front reinforcing that we are #1 with the double finger salute, enn’a enn’a? 👊

My thoughts exactly
For many years, i thought Marquette stuck out as having different and great looking uniforms compared to most other teams.
These current Nike ones are as bland as it gets. Like something you'd see on some random rural high school basketball team trying to pinch pennies.
Yawn

It was on the “watermark” on the back of the jerseys, right above Al’s victory pose.

It's true - original design guidelines stated it would be dropped for the the MU wordmark. It was originally intended as a bridge to help people understand that the new MU was Marquette and not another university. For one reason or another they moved the banner logo to the primary athletics logo. You can read the full brand guidelines here: https://www.marquette.edu/omc/documents/MU%20Logo%20Standards.pdf (https://www.marquette.edu/omc/documents/MU%20Logo%20Standards.pdf)

I'm wondering if they eventually will just adapt the secondary logo. It seems odd to have both in use.
-
Take 2 for anyone interested.
Threw on the MECCA shading and really like it
Center court is better, but still not convinced it would be an improvement over what we have now
Think the Big East logo pops better as gold instead of white, based off a quick google search the logo is white or blue for everybody, is this a rule? I would think that as long as you have the logo you can make it whatever color you want.
Put Marquette on the baseline per a suggestion, not sold. Really hard to get letters to show up well on bumblebee
Played around briefly with putting a silhouette of Al somewhere, but it looked extremely cheesy however I set it up.
Keep the suggestions coming.

It was part of the initial logo rollout.
We shouldn't have to remind everyone "hey, this 'MU' stands for Marquette."
