The flag should go.

Al needs to go.  As others have said, it's overkill. We might as well change our name to the "Fightin' Als" considering everything. Don't forget, we had his image on the back panel of previous jerseys.

I'd also like to see the official wordmark not on the jerseys and instead just using block letters like the old baby blues back n 2010, or maybe have some fun and have the font from the baby blue road uniforms from the early 70's.  "Marquette" back to above the numerals too.
Fightin' Als? I love it!

Could we just shorten that to the F'in' Als?

Do we really need the AL? I mean it's on the court, he has a whole practice facility, he has a game day, idk it just seems a bit like overkill at a certain point.

We play road games, too.  I get the point, but just like the Bears still have GSH on their uniforms, it doesn’t bother me and often elicits conversation on TV.  Good way to keep the name alive.

Duke, UNC have the American flag on them.  Wisconsin doesn’t and that alone is why we should keep it.

Right but you don't see UCLA with Wooden on their jerseys, Ville with Crum, UConn with Calhoun etc etc.

There's plenty of legendary coaches that have won more than AL that don't have their names on the team jersey.

The American flag doesn't make sense to me on the jerseyZ But I enjoy the humor in your logic.

I think the flag was just to incorporate the 01-03 unis which had the flag after September 11th.   No reason to keep it.

I get the Big East logo. Marquette is one of 10 conference members (out of 350+ Division I schools), and it helps promote the Big East -- especially on TV, like when players are at the free throw line. It's a unique identifier, and part of the MU brand.

I get including "Al" for the same reason. More than 40 years after his last game as head coach, Al McGuire still represents what the Marquette basketball program stands for. "Al" is one of a kind in Division I. It speaks to our tradition. Some might even say Al McGuire is the MU brand.

You can't say the same for the American flag. Every single university that competes in Division I is an American university. So it doesn't promote anything unique about Marquette. Should we also find room for the Wisconsin state flag on the uniform? How about the flag of Milwaukee? We'd better make sure everyone knows Marquette is an NCAA institution; one more logo to include. Then there's the glaring omission of "JN" -- the initials of James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball. And "SJ" to acknowledge that Marquette is a Jesuit university. Oh yeah, how could we forget...

How's that, Jay Bee? Or, we could make it even bigger if we turn it sideways.
