Anybody else find this inflammatory?

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Who in their right mind approved this? Absolute sacrilege!

This is just wrong on so many levels.....

[mr.MUskie]

NO!  NO!  NO!

[TheDOC816]

This should be burned

[79Warrior]

Nobody should buy that garbage.

[ChicosBailBonds]

[MarquetteDano]

I have this undying need to buy that, wear it to Marquette games, and see if anyone tries to kick my ass.   

[ronald dragon]

 What in the frig...

[keefe]

Somewhere Willie Wampum is crying...

[MU82]

Brutal.

Even if you're a politically correct person who has moved on from Warriors (which so many here can say, right?), it simply is historically inaccurate.

It's like saying the Washington Wizards won the 1977-78 NBA title or the New York Highlanders have won 27 World Series.

[ATL MU Warrior]

I blame Larry Williams.

[Warrior Code]

We should give it terrible reviews, lessening the chance that anyone will buy it.

[chapman]

They really couldn't leave the bird off the shirt?  Leave the bird off and use an old school monogram and it would be a cool shirt.  Guess they don't have anyone informed designing these.

[mu_hilltopper]

[GoldenZebra]

Hahaha...wow.

[AZWarrior]

Tacky.  Very tacky.   

[TJ]

I would buy one sans the bird.  Except for the upper right corner, it looks awesome.

Somewhere Willie Wampum is crying...

In Italy, where he was born.

[keefe]

In Italy, where he was born.

Iron Eyes Cody was actually born in Louisiana. Both his parents were immigrants from Sicily. He went through life telling everyone he was Sioux, even though he was 100% Sicilian.

If Manti T'eo can still maintain he thought he had a girl friend I guess I don't have a problem with Iron Eyes maintaining he was a Lakota Sioux. 

[Warriors10]

$35 bucks too.  What a joke on many levels.

I know this will seem blasphemous to some of you, but while I fully honor, celebrate and respect our '77 championship, I do think that there is such a thing as dwelling on it too much.

Our championship was 36 years ago.  In a lot of ways, constantly referring to it in promotions (which is all a T-shirt is, really) can be counterproductive.  It's hard to look backward and forward at the same time. 

I might be wrong, but I don't think a lot of other teams with single championships won decades ago are still putting it on merchandise.  If Loyola printed hoodies that said "National Champs 1963", it would be considered sarcastic.  We aren't quite there yet, but we are getting close.

I think doing a reproduction a vintage championship tee that was actually sold in 1977 would be really cool, and I would buy one.  But mentioning our '77 championship on new stuff is right up there with Bears merchandise that mentions the 1986 Superbowl.  That's nice, but what have you done for me lately?

I, for one, am saving space in my closet for the T-shirt that says "Marquette National Champs 201_".

For those who were fans at that time of the national championship there probably isn't "such a thing as dwelling on it too much."  For people who have become fans since then, I'm sure that your statemet holds true.

[MUfan12]

Preach it, chick. You're absolutely right. The Brewers are guilty of this with the 82 team, and they didn't even win it.

You are dead on.  The Packers had this same problem in the 70's and 80's until Holmgrem and Wolf were hired.

I was actually going to use that as an example.
