NOVA NMD SHIRTS

[fjm]

Anyone have the seating chart by colors? I know they give away the free shirts but 1 I don’t wear an XXL and 2, last year someone went through our whole section and took half of the shirts which means I was out of color.

[HowardsWorld]

I will be in a suite. Do you happen to know if they have shirts in those?

That person is straight scum.

[JakeBarnes]

High rollers such as yourself should be able to get your own shirts. Leave those fine shirts for us peasants!

[BrewCity83]

You could play craps in the suites during timeouts if you wanted to.  You'll have to supply the dice though. 

[The Scat]

I will be in a suite. Do you happen to know if they have craps in those?

Yes, they have crappers in the suites.

[HowardsWorld]

Yes, they have crappers in the suites.

Actually they don't at the new stadium. They are outside the suites now.

[HowardsWorld]

LOL i have no idea why I said craps instead of shirts.

[LoudMouth]

All of the shirts are Larges this year

[warriorchick]

Poor marketing decision.  This is Wisconsin, after all.

How much weight can some of you lose in the next 6 days?

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

They did last year. Not sure if it will be different at the FF

[GooooMarquette]

last year someone went through our whole section and took half of the shirts

That is just pathetic.

[LoudMouth]

There were 16,500 shirts printed. Not sure capacity number but I wouldn't think that is enough for the suites

[warriorchick]

That is just pathetic.

Perhaps MU should ask the ushers to keep an eye out for that sort of thing.

[4everwarriors]

Just bye won on Ebay four Pete's sake, aina?

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Lol, that'll go over well. 

[StillWarriors]

Lol, that'll go over well.

Not sure what the ideal approach would be in distributing the shirts. People are never happy. The options for the two MU shirt give-aways I've been to this year were Med and XL. Neither fit any of the people in my group well, but I understand the logistics of distributing a bunch of sizes would be challenging. It's even more difficult with the NMD situation where they have to be pre-distributed in the seats. I suppose XL would be the best bet to get the desired effect since most people could at least put them on, but I suspect the majority of people wear something smaller than XL...even in WI.

Yah, I think rotating chairs between medium and XL would probably be the best bet. But ya, you're right - there really isn't a perfect way to do it.

In an ideal world yes, but also whose job is it to grab alternating sizes and carry around both boxes for 16,500 people

[warriorchick]

Sounds like it's yours. 

[Jay Bee]

I think I have a solution to the t-shirt size problem. Watch for me on Shark Tank!

Looks like the shirts refer to the chicken... that's too bad.

[Newsdreams]

I'm medium, last year's XL was a bit long but it was not like a real XL size. Still use it. Yes, last year suites got them.

[brewcity77]

Is there a chart for the new arena? I think I have every color and would rather just wear something that's already comfortable.

Bet Nielsen will have the info

[LoudMouth]

No no no I just make the shirt...I don’t organize the distribution

Shirts gave a Marquette flag waving on the front. Nothing on the back

[Johnny B]

What are the shirts ??

[LoudMouth]

[LoudMouth]

We changed the white on baby blue to Navy though

[Benny B]

Excellent.  I’m running low on navy MU t-shirts.

[Johnny B]

Idk the flag design is kinda dumb. Put the golden chicken face on em. Jk. Actually low key I dont mind the golden eagle face

[fjm]

We changed the white on baby blue to Navy though

I like it! Thanks! Looks like I’m yellow. Yahoo!

[StillWarriors]

The yellow and dark blue are sharp. Although I’m a big fan of the baby blue unis, those shirts don’t really pop. Unfortunately, that’s my section.

[warriorchick]

I like it! Thanks! Looks like I’m yellow gold. Yahoo!

FIFY. Are you even a true fan?      Next you will be calling it '"maize".

[warriorchick]

Quit your cryin'. It's a free shirt. No one is forcing you to wear it.

[4everwarriors]

Kan ya sho da red version two, hey?

[warriors1991]

1. Tshirt size large: Ugh. Most people show up to the game already wearing MU gear. Free tshirt sitting on their chair? Many will want to just throw it on OVER what they are already wearing. Not gonna happen for most people with a size L. Give everyone XL. At least most people are going to be capable of wearing it.

2. The "pattern"? I've felt that whenever a school tries to do this....it's WAY too busy and complex. Not everyone is going to actually wear the shirt you give us (especially if we can't get it on). This "pattern" is going to look like.....nothing on TV. If they made the entire lower bowl baby blue and the entire upper level and suites gold (not maize or yellow).....that actually might look decent.  This? Meh.

Perhaps you can volunteer to run this promotion next year and do it however you would like.

It amazes me how many armchair coaches and promotions managers there are on Scoop. Then again, it doesn't.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I can't believe some of the petty stuff people gripe about.  It's a free t-shirt give away trying to build a fun atmosphere for the biggest game of the year on national TV.  And people are complaining about the size of the shirts and the "pattern."

Perhaps people should stop being so cynical and just get on board.  Too much to ask?

Isn't that the point of an opinion-based fan site?

MU tried to do this a couple/few years ago with a color scheme at the Bradley Center (can't recall exactly what game). It looked like a whole bunch of nothing. I even dropped them a line: Thank you for your generosity and the free tshirt, always appreciated, but next time you try to do this, I'd strongly suggest considering a single color. If 75% of people actually wear what you give, it might actually look like something.

If it looks great on TV Saturday, I'll be happy to come back on here and eat my words. Otherwise, I'm just excited to get another shot at SJU and then Nova this week.

Go Warriors!

This should give you an idea of what it will look like. As you can see it looks like 95% of people wore the shirts.

And the year before that, people were asked to wear a particular color based on their section.  Despite predictions of a colossal failure, it actually worked out okay.  Even some Scoop naysayers admitted that it they were wrong.

Agreed. Also, just wear the color your section has as a backup.

Yeah. Actually it looked really cool last year. Not sure what warriors91 is talking about.

[MU82]

That was a good choice. Never want to wave the white flag, even on a fun t-shirt!

As for sizing, I'm in the "give everybody an XL" camp for the reasons they stated.

Wish I was gonna be there. Have fun, everybody.

[rocky_warrior]

Nice to see the pattern is simplified at the FF.  For reference, here was the BC decoder ring:

Not at all. Totally on board. Love the idea of doing the pattern and glad MU came around to providing the shirts to give it the best chance of working. Now all we need is a W!! Can't wait for this game...though of course won't start focusing on it until after tonight so as not to look past St. John's. 

[StillWarriors]

The navy on baby blue will be sharp. Thumbs up on the shirts.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

I feel like there is an SAT question in here somewhere.

[wiscwarrior]

I think sweater vests would have been more appropriate.

Not sure what you saw. I think it has looked great the last two years they have done it.

[warriors1991]

I think people are misunderstanding me. I am an alum and a huge fan and want what everyone else here (hopefully) wants: for MU to look fantastic and for people nationally to realize what we have here: a great program, a great team, and a great fan base.

This is a place for opinions and discussion. My personal opinion is that the scattered pattern doesn't look that great if not everybody climbs on board to actually wear the shirts, and I feel a single block color of baby blue filling the entire arena would look a ton better. It's my opinion and nothing more. I will be there Saturday and hope it looks fantastic. I'm more than happy to be wrong if it makes MU look great.

But hey, let's go beat the sh** out of SJU first.

They must expect a bunch of midgets with Large only.

Well, no Chili-sized guys, anyway....   

[Cream Biggums]

The first few rows always seem to be the majority of fans who don't wear their designated colours.
Entitlement?

probably. Cant be like the peaseants

[Warriors4ever]

I think having everyone in gold would be better, but if not, then limit to two colors.

[muwarrior69]

I thought the multi-colored sections looked great on TV and gold was certainly the predominate color.

[TallTitan34]

Beat color out/striping I’ve ever seen in my time.

That being said there were still the few a$$holes who refuse to participate. Wouldn’t you look around and think “Hey this looks pretty cool! I should join in”.

[Bocephys]

For healthy lifestyle, you need to follow certain rules and regulations. You must perform physical activities regularly and have healthy diet.

Ol' Steeds here is showing his concern for everyone fitting into a size L.

[HowardsWorld]

No shirts in my suite, I feel cheated.
