Uniforms

[bilsu]

As I recall the NCAA disliked the "Bumblebee" uniform & MU agreed to retire it.

They outlawed them.

With the amount of transfers Buzz would have before the season even started, I'm guessing it's just university policy to hold off on the names as long as possible to save on expenses.

Hah guess I didn't pay attention until the end when Luke's was missing from the back of his.

As I recall the NCAA outlawed the Bumblebees.  So I agree with you that they indeed, did not like, the Bumblebees.

But the NCAA is losing power.  Maybe we can engage in some brinksmanship with them.  Say, bring back the Bumblebees and accuse the NCAA of sexism / racism / homophobism if they give us any grief.

we need an untucked bumblebee.

Is Vineyard Vines in the athletic wear business?

I believe the reason they were outlawed was the refs said it was too hard to read the uniform numbers with that design.

I just don't want unis that say Golden Eagles instead of Marquette.

That was code for "Adolph Rupp didn't like Al."

Given how the university is currently marketing the athletic department, I wouldn't worry about that for a long, long time.

Kind of hoping we go back to the new uniform every year thing.

When was it every year? Maybe every 2 or 3 but every year seems excessive

As noted, banned for the "psychedelic effect" they had on opponents.

2014-15 is the 98th year of Marquette basketball.

Oh, no,here comes another of "my brand of crazy" thoughts....Was it Public Enemy and Chuck D who wrote, "My 98 Oldsmobile?" Model #, not Year. Since MU is sure to up the tempo a bit, would it  behoove our game day experience dj to honor the 98th season of Warrior hoops with a little ChuckD noise??...."smoke is comin' ...when I buuurn.. rubber when my wheeeels turn."

Given the era, are we sure it was the uniforms responsible for the "psychedelic effect".

Does that mean in 15-16 our theme song has to be 99 Luftballons

Banning the bumblebee uniform was the worst ever documented case of insect intolerant speciesism.  Every time I hear of the declining population of honey bees in North America, I look for the hand of the NCAA.

It would be a clever way of saying "Our outside shoots don't seem to fall."

As long as they play the German version...I'll match and raise when Bucky is in town and urge everyone to Turn Around for the playing of "Der Commies-are in town, wha o OOO!!"

If it's anything like last year I think 99 Problems is more fitting

And a coach ain't one.

I remember being excited when we signed with Jordan Brand.  However, the uniforms have gotten very stale. 

[dgies9156]

For the love of God, is it asking too much of you to do the most basic proofreading?  My nun-educated brain wants to explode every time I read a post of yours!

At least you were a girl. Those Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia were downright nasty to the guys :-) !

[alexius23]

As I recall...during the Al years didn't we get a new uniform (either home or way) every year. Tie in to McGuire's ties to Medalist?

[Skatastrophy]

I disagree, there's a reason why teams all over the country have copied our uniform.

Jordan is still the premier brand in basketball. Plus now that Jimmy MF Butler is signed up with Jordan that we should stick with the brand.

I'm hesitant to start advocating for a uni change because there's always a chance that we'll end up with a dud. Though looking back through history I would say that we haven't had any duds.
