New Uniforms This Year

[Loose Cannon]

Quick, cue up "Project Runway"

[KampusFoods]

off topic a bit, but did anyone see the Oregon football jerseys they wore on Saturday?

Navy blue jersey, gold numbers with gold horizontal pinstripes on the sleeves.  Looks like the same designers may have worked on the MU jerseys.

And they threw back to their old "webfoots" nickname. Maybe we'll get a warriors jersey, eh?

Yuck, I hate it.  No schedule on it!?!

I've been collecting these posters over the past 8 or so years.  Love the collection and love being able to go back and look at the old schedules. 

Hoping there is another one to come. Just a yearbook style photo of each guy from the neck up is super lame.

Super happy to report that there will be another poster released with the players wearing the new jerseys and including the schedule.  Great news, as the Madness poster was super lame if that was going to be the main poster for the year. 

[TallTitan34]

Updated jersey poster as well.

Thats a great poster.  DId they give that out at Madness?

Pulled it off their facebook page.

Here's my admittedly unpopular opinion.

A for concept.
C- for execution.

The American flag patch is an unnecessary add-on, and further clutters the already-cluttered top half. This is not helped by the fact that the cut on the armholes and neckholes is, as my wife put it, "feminine." It makes the jersey look like a wrestling singlet or a women's bathing suit. In short, it's less space to put more logos. If Marquette make the NCAA Tournament, there will be FIVE different logos/patches on the top half of the jersey.

The fact that there is no white or light blue trim around the numbers and wordmarks, and the font's reduction to a standard block makes the letters and numbers look like iron-ons or cheaply-made practice jerseys, not bespoke "innovation."

I would be all on-board with this redesign if they had retained the side panel stripes. Hell, you could  even keep the sublimated bumblebee, and moved the name below the number and it still would've worked.

But this looks like it was designed by a committee, and the tricolour "belt buckle" just feels tacked on.

After the teaser video, this is a disappointing downgrade.

The flag was added after 9/11 to honor the fallen. Seven families from my parish here in New Jersey lost loved ones in the towers. How soon we forget.

No one "forgot" 9/11.  The flag wasn't on the jersey until this year.

[Galway Eagle]

How soon we forget? You realize the flag wasn't on the jersey three years later and you haven't brought it up till it was put back on now 15 years later. This is such faux passion about this.

Here's Marquette in 2004, no flag.

Then why does it say it was added after 9/11?

[warriorchick]

Well, technically, it was.  Just not immediately after 9/11.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Then why does it say it was added after 9/11?

Because it was. And then taken off a season or two later.

[GGGG]

OK my apologies.  It was placed on, then taken off.  I guess Marquette just remembered that 9/11 occurred again.

Obviously it was put back on to remember 9/11 and does serve a purpose and was not just put there for no reason as many have suggested.

Ok, was 9/11 in Milwaukee? Because even St John's, Fordham, Columbia, LIU Brooklyn, Manhatten, St Francis and Wagner who are all actually in the city don't have the patch.

How many MU alumni died in this horrible tragedy? (I honestly don't know, what this ever researched?)

I'd stake my life that the reason it was put there is because they needed an element from a very basic jersey that was in the FF and they figured it was something simple enough that nobody would get upset about rather than an actual 9/11 remembrance 15 years later.

Well the "AL" patch was around in 2003 as well and is referenced on the graphic as such.

I don't mind the flag.  I just mind the idea that if you don't have one, it means we somehow "forgot" 9/11 or even minimized its impact on our country.  It's just a basketball jersey.

Agreed.

I voted 4 stars.  I'd give it 5 stars if they dropped the belt (see the poster).

I think (ok, hope) the belt will look better with the other uniform colors.  Definitely the one element that to me looks like it was just tacked on.

[BrewCity83]

I can't wait to see the other three colors.  Love the navy ones!  I heard the four different colored versions were all supposed to be unveiled at Madness but Nike didn't deliver them in time.  These will look really cool on the court.

To be honest, I did not even notice the belt when I saw the uniforms in person last Friday. It's not a big deal.  It's not like they are championship wrestlers or something.

I had a similar experience with all the elements at the top (although I haven't seen them in person).  I guess that when I look at the uniforms, my mind kind of filters out that stuff -- kind of how I don't even notice ads on webpages (when I'm not using a blocker).  When I actively look at it, I'd agree that it's a little cluttered and would be more aesthetically pleasing to me if the flag were moved off the front of the jersey (or eliminated completely) and the Big East/Jumpman were moved up a little (similar to the placement on the 2015 jersey).  But unless I'm specifically looking at those elements, I don't really notice them.

[Warrior Code]

I doubt they would do it this way, but I think it would have been cool to see a different design for each color. The navy could be the bumblebees, the light blue could be similar to what we just had, the whites could have the circle around the numbers and the yellow could have some other design cue from our past (camo sides?). I would have been down with that idea.

[Bocephys]

Maybe that's the complaint, it should be more like a wrestling championship belt.

[Johnny B]

These are ugly and look like track/swimsuit unis... wtf
