Uniforms made debut...any comments?

Wow, that powder blue uniform is horrible...why are they using yellow and black AND powder blue? Why powder blue in the first place?

There is no black on the jersey, that is navy. As many have said, the picture of the jersey from the Warrior Shoppe looks different than the ones in person.

I like doing something unique.  The uni changes over the last 10-12 year have been very minor.  These are back in the spirit of the bumblebees.

Eeps. Can't believe you said that! Where's the institutional history?!?

Yeah, I'm sorry, but I'm not fond of the new direction to powder blue.

Just cleaning out my closet for winter clothes, and I have 3-4 powder blue t-shirts from MU .. I can't imagine wearing them.   Now the team has powder blue warmups, etc.  I like how universities identify with colors, like UW and red, etc. 

Now MU has 4 colors.  gold, blue, powder blue, and white.  Well, I guess they must think gold had its run, now let's bring in some other colors .. ruining the slow acceptance of gold.  Bummer.

You're right about the progression.. how long til the BOT announces we're now the Marquette Powder Blues?

The new powder blue unis are hideous. The whites and navy's look decent at best. Haven't seen them in person yet. Will have a better opinion by this weekend's game. But regardless, they have too much going on on them, and then you have the Al patch, then "Marquette" in a font that just doesn't belong. I don't think they're that great. Jury still out.

I agree with the font....really doesn't work.....not sure who/why they would've "signed off" on that font....the same font as the last couple years would've worked much better....they're using the same font from last year for the players' names on the back...why change the front?

I actually don't mind the color schemes.

I'd rank the new jerseys like this:

1) Gold
2) Baby Blue
3) White
4) Navy Blue (A distant 4th)

Last year I'd rank them:
1) White
2) Gold
3) Navy

I love these jerseys and think the powder blue is great.  I can't wait to grab a pair of those shorts when I am up in MKE for the UWM game.  I like the font too, I don't think the old font would fit in as well on the front; but I guess you can't please everyone.
