Marquette Madness

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Really like the unis though not as much as the old ones.  But they were getting stale so I'm happy with the change.  I'm eager to see the gold version: think those will be killer!  Two minor complaints about the flag; 1) Breaks the color uniformity and 2) the flag and BE logo look crowded.  Jordan logo, Al, and the BE are key parts of the Marquette brand.  The flag seems unnecessary but then again I hate America.

The pray video didn't do it for me.  No goosebumps; then I rewatched the original and still got goosebumps.  Slow pacing, "who are the old guys that keep popping up?", needed more players, ending too drawn out, no Wade!...or Butler or Crowder...Novak?

My ending change:

1) Cut the first logo break.  Pray, pray, logo, pray, logo ending didn't flow.  Tighten it up.
2) Ideally the 3rd "Pray" would be Wade.  Big reveal, short and sweet ending.
3)  If not Wade, another option for the 3rd "Pray" would be the entire team in unison.

Too bad the "dream" hype video was associated with the most Marquette scandal plagued team of all time...

Sounds like there are 4 new versions of Pray out there or at least planned.

One of them is if we're good telling the other team to pray one of them is asking the audience to pray for a better team if we're bad.

Who were the recruits that showed up at Madness?

[GooooMarquette]

Not a basketball jersey. Simple reality is 99% of the people that wear them casually don't have the physique to get away with wearing them casually. The other 1% is Mark Wahlberg, LL Cool Jay, and 2Pac, and 2Pac's dead. That's what t-shirts and sweatshirts were invented for.

So if you're an adult male who happens to have a physique in that 1%, it's OK?

[Marqus Howard]

Who were the recruits that showed up at Madness?

There's a full list earlier in the thread.

My thought on the uniforms: I like them but agree that they're a little busy up top. Wish they would have put the flag on the back of the uniform, centered and right below the neck.

My guess is that the lack of chills for this one is more about it being a "repeat" of a previous theme.

I got the chills!

Thoughts on pray video with no audio.

Seems like 90% of clips are ripped from the old remember the titans video. Maybe they should have diversified a bit.

No, the 1% literally only includes Mark Wahlberg, LL Cool J, and Tupac. So unless you are Marky Mark, Ladies Lover Cool James, or dead, no jersey for you.

Some of the clips were on that video for a reason - Bo celebrating the championship, Wade's breakaway dunk against UK, Novak's dagger against ND.  Iconic moments in MU's history.  For the earlier clips (70s and prior), also remember that good video footage isn't always easy to find.

That said, three are two that I'd love to see added:  Davante's coast to coast and Dominic's last second block - both vs UW-Madison.

So I'm good then - thanks.

You apparently weren't a math major.

See how the description says "Version 1.0"?  My guess is that they have decided to spread out the highlights among several of these videos - maybe the famous players as well.

I dont see any games as not televised

Thanks: 0-4 to start Beast play; not good.

Nice catch, chick. I only watched it through Twitter, completely missed the YouTube tag.

The flag was added to honor the fallen on 9/11.

[rocket surgeon]

I like the new unis, especially the flag.

That's a big 10-4 right there 69!!

When does the sweater-vest version come out

[NickelDimer]

From what I have heard, Drake and Haanif's sister are...close.

I get this. But I don't think it belongs on a basketball uniform.

The Jordan brand is responsible for making the jersey. The Big East is the conference we belong to. These elements could be smaller in my opinion. But both are mandatories.

"AL" honors our greatest coach, who still represents Marquette basketball today for many. I think naming the court after him is enough — although if anyone's name belongs on a jersey, it's Al.

9/11, on the other hand, has nothing to do with MU or the program. We don't use player uniforms to honor those who died in the Civil War or WWII. Uniforms don't reference POW/MIA or any other cause. Instead, we honor America with the playing of the national anthem at the beginning of every game. That's a long-standing tradition. Every player lines up, every fan stands out of respect.

It's not that 9/11 isn't important. It's just not important on a jersey.

It's part of our history of honoring things that have nothing to do with MU basketball - you know like retiring number 11.

I agree it is a nice thing to have on a uni but crowds the current design.  They could put it on the shorts.

Retiring 11 is still the stupidest reason to retire a number I think I've ever heard of.

Simply having a reason to put something on a uniform doesn't make it a good reason.
