New Jerseys?

Could be the bus stop on 16th w/ McCormick in the background.

The building is the 'lanche, and at the bottom is Farley's dopey mug.

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!

Something like this?

Something like this?

I'd buy that jersey

Holy crap.  I just realized that there are probably kids starting at Marquette that have never heard of Chris Farley...

He died 14 years ago.

Kids who are starting at Marquette were 4 years old when he died.

Just drink a bunch of beer and forget this conversation ever existed.

If Kentucky has the state at the top, why couldn't it be Wisconsin at the top of the jersey back?

I do wonder if they're going to use the "Super Chicken" Golden Eagle logo at the bottom back of the jersey.

[Skitch]

I have it on pretty good authority that the image on back will be Freeway, Ziggy and the "Jesus Saves" cross from the rescue mission.

Kentucky is the state university, Marquette is not.

I dont think it even matters what's on the back of the jerseys. With the light and player sweat, its virtually impossible to make out what the designs even are....even on HD!!! It's not like fans from other schools are going to say, "Hey look, that's Marquette Hall on their back."

Exactly.  All game it'll look like a oddly patterned sweat stain.

Ha! Exactly. That technology was introduced several seasons ago and for the teams that were the first to use it, I have no idea what their designs are. If someone is really interested in knowing, I guess you have to look it up on the internet. When you have to do that, whats the freaking point?

[National Champs]

Exactly.  All game it'll look like a oddly patterned sweat stain.

But if it is actually a picture of an oddly patterned sweat stain, what will it look like all game?

Depends on how many mushrooms you eat.

OK...I can deal with that.  Glad to see that there is no chicken.  Those who guessed Marquette Hall were correct.  The Al is OK I guess.  Love that "1881" and "Cura Personalis" is on there.

That will take some getting used to.  I like the choices.  Will withhold formal judgment until I see it live and on TV.

I am not crazy about graphics on the back of jerseys. But if we are going to do it, this does not look that bad. Could be worse.

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

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.

[wyoMUfan]

I have to agre, they looks disoriented - lost.
like were trying too hard to put as much on the back of a bball jersey are possible.
I think mu hall / 1881 would have been enough this looks like a ransom note to the rest of college basketball asking to be accepted w/ the dukies, msu's, etc.
(at least it doesn't read " go zags")

[g0lden3agle]

Whats the point of having images like these on the back of the Jersey if the player's number is just going to cover up half of the details?  The fact that Al's face is squarely under the #2 is pretty silly.

[martyconlonontherun]

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.

[Blue Horseshoe]

Agreed, these are disappointing. They look like something for kids with Al's arms extended. It looks like a pair of arms looking for a hug.

WHY??? WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME AGAIN MARQUETTE?!?!
