A little help for you all:

If you are over 40 - Navy sport coat, white shirt, yellow vest, khakis, and casual allen-edmonds.
If you are under 23 - 40 - Marquette sweatshirt and jeans.
If you are 18 - 22 - It does not matter, probably something gold.
If you are 17 and under - Marquette basketball jersey or t-shirt.

Obvious Midwest. The dress code in the Northwest is different:

Over 40: Arc'teryx Down Vest, Patagonia Fleece Top, North Face Goretex Pants (zip leg), Asolo Hiking Boots
23-40: Arc'teryx Down Vest, Patagonia Fleece Top, North Face Goretex Pants (zip leg), Ahnu Shoes
18-22: Arc'teryx Down Vest, Patagonia Fleece Top, North Face Goretex Pants (zip leg), Birkenstock Sandals w/ Ragg wool socks
Under 18: Arc'teryx Down Vest, Patagonia Fleece Top, North Face Goretex (zip leg), Keen Shoes

Jerseys at games are always good, the sweater vest is only if you're old enough for your kid to walk into the game with you.  I would like to recommend no undershirt for both situations though

I understand where the "no jerseys for adults" comes from: the fact that most adults in America are fat.  Perfectly reasonable.  But since I don't have that problem, I proudly wear my Jimmy Butler jersey to every game. 

Anyone who isn't a coach or broadcaster but still wears a suit or sportcoat to a game needs to take himself less seriously (sole exception: entertaining clients in the box).  Anyone who wears a sweater vest in any circumstance needs a wardrobe consultant (sole exception: Fr. Wild).

You're on to something here.

That and some wear TIGHT jerseys.
Those Replicas and Fake jerseys that flare at the shoulders. HORRIBLE.

would you wear a leotard/singlet to a wrestling match?  Nuff said.

So you can't tell the difference between a leotard and a basketball jersey?

Nuff said.

The difference is minimal, you look ridiculous either way.

Another person with difficulty distinguishing very different things.  Pity.

Anything goes at MU games. ZFB wears an old t-shirt a gal at the Top Hat Lounge gave him. It's white (size small) but there is a large yellow stain on the right side that is almost golden (beer or urine - ZFB isnt' sure).

I wear warmups everywhere. I will rock a jersey too from time to time. I am all about comfort. Nike Elite socks, color coordinated too.

thanks for this informative thread, now I know some things destined to Goodwill and what to ask for at Christmas so I'm not embarassed at the BC

MU Fan in Connecticut rather look good than be good in his Brooks Brothers.

In general I agree that you should skip the sportcoat.  But about 5 years ago I was at the Big East tournament and showed up about 10 minutes after tip-off for the first game of the evening session (MU was in the late game).  I had come from a meeting so was in full suit, but managed to throw on a MU baseball hat on the way.  I had cultivated a contact in "VIP services" at MSG, so she met me at the door, handed me a media guide and escorted me to a courtside seat along with a security guard.  Pretty cool feeling to see the looks from the guys with Rutgers, Seton Hall and UConn lapel pins stand up to let me through.

Dissing sweater vests?
Now you've gone too far.
Despite Rick Santorum's best efforts to spoil the fun for everyone, sweater vests can be awesome.
