MU wearing special pink uniforms Saturday for Coaches vs. Cancer

[Galway Eagle]

Is it weird that I want one? 

[hairy worthen]

People should lighten up. Its one game (hopefully) and for a good cause.

[wojosdojo]

The lettering and numbers annoy me.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I get it. Cause pink is so girly.
Of course, not so long ago (relatively speaking) pink was seen as a masculine color that should be work for boys while blue was for girly wear.

Seriously, it's just a uniform for one game.

Thanks for citing the SMITHSONIAN while using the phrase, "not so long ago." They're ugly...try to get over your piousness

Here's the Iowa State Men's Pink Out jersey for 2014:

Much like Creighton's.



Here's MU WOMEN'S past Pink Out Jersey:
2012

I made these concepts a few years ago.

Lighten up, Francis.
And please keep your porn search terms to yourself.

Is it just MU or are all teams doing this?

The whole ncaa's have been doing this for over 10 years now.

[keefe]

Wow.

Well, then I hope Buzz is wearing this

Pure '70's pimp

[TallTitan34]

The font looks like the font that was on the prototype jersey we saw here a few years ago.

[AZWarrior]

Joke, right?

A ribbon would have been sufficient.

It might attract attention and build MU's brand.  I don't think it's worth it.  Man, that uniform is hideous!

[TallTitan34]

The yellow lettering and patch at the bottom of the should be navy. It would look much better.

I don't recall any men's team wearing all pink in the NCAA DI any time in the last 10 years for hoops (I know Oregon did pink helmets this year for football, but with black uniforms...looked ok).  Highlights of pink, yes..but not the whole thing.  Honestly, it will bring great attention to the cause.  I just don't find them very tasteful looking.  

Then again, I found these ridiculous.

[willie warrior]

I have no problem with support but that is ridiculous.

Having said which, it will attract attention to the MU brand.

Brand??? What would that be--that the team is chicks. Oh hell why not. The chickification of football has arrived. Might as well chickify Men's Basketball. Even the USMC has lowered their physical standards for BAMs.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Wow, there are a lot of sexist people on this site...I dont think they are particular good looking uniforms but I understand the cause and have no problem with the team wearing them.

Careful, Chicos. Keefe digs the camo.

No.

And you'll probably be able to via the Blue and Gold online auctions some time this season, and probably through next.

I think they are hideous. But Marquette will generate some attention if the team wears these on Saturday. Some will embrace it and others will scorn it.

It makes one sexist to not like the design, style, color of a uniform?

[jsglow]

As a cancer survivor myself, I support all efforts to raise awareness and money.  But those uniforms ........

[nyg]

And just think, the NCAA banned the "bumblebees".  After seeing this, bring the "bees" back....... Ugh...

[mr.MUskie]

Yeah, just was questioning how much exposure we would get if everyone was doing it this weekend.

[Galway Eagle]

No.

Boxing doesn't exactly pay enough to get me compeitive in those auctions. Plus they're always game worn and I'm 5'7" I'd look like a fool in a real jersey.

Great point.  Comparatively, the "Bumble Bees" were tasteful and understated.
