New Uniforms?

[rgoode57]

Any word on when the team gets new uniforms. The current unis were ok when first introduced but are starting to look dated. It is not a design meant to be long-lasting. I have no idea what the timeframes are for new togs, but I fear the current uniforms will be in place another year or two.

[MUbiz]

According to Broeker, we should have new ones this coming year. https://x.com/mikebroeker/status/1743485232186085721?t=hCheXU8u9VSmQvHPLF-o_g&s=19

Good. I hope that includes dumping the font.

I'm not outraged by it or anything, and I acknowledge that it's a matter of personal opinion. But I never loved the script Marquette and I think it's definitely time for something new.

[tower912]

Bring back the grays.

Love the script.

[Viper]

Love the script.

yes!...maybe script home/block road, or vice versa. Im probably minority here, but do wish 'AL' was in a spot  other than the relegated to waistband of the past couple seasons.

[Nukem2]

Bring back the grays.

Yuck

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Yuck

Very yuck.

[tower912]

Grays with the navy blue, gold, and championship blue piping.   Then sell that to the fans.   Quarterzips, decent wicking polos, wide brimmed bucket hats.

[Galway Eagle]

I think we should take some inspiration from the Brazilian women's volleyball team and add collars to our jerseys. I've often wondered how we could make it so basketball jerseys could become golf attire and this is the chance!

[tower912]

Or some European futbol jerseys.

The 2011-16 jerseys will always be my favorite. Keep the word mark if you have to.

Agree with this, current font for Marquette and numbers look cheap, like they're ironed on or something.  Otherwise, I like the current uniforms.

[MU82]

As I said it's a matter of personal opinion. And yours is entitled to be wrong! 😎

I have a vague recollection of Evansville having collars in the late 80s or early 90s, but maybe it was just short sleeves without collars.

My favorite as well.  If they did a hybrid with the current set, I think it would be incredible.

I don't get why we can't have a universal font on all of the unis for all teams.

I too think this is odd. The University's own branding guidelines don't even account for the Men's Basketball script. (Page 13)

https://www.marquette.edu/university-relations/documents/marquette-brand-identity-guidelines.pdf

And unless I am missing something, that script does not appear anywhere on the website either. Just in some occasional instance on their #mubb social posting.

While I am sure there are some, I can't think of another major college program that brands one of their sports differently than the rest. And in a way that isn't even part of the institution's own brand guidelines.

Excellent question.  I'd like to go back to the badass uniform days of 10 years ago.

Agree 100%

I hate, hate, hate the graphic on the back.  First of all, it looks like the committee in charge couldn't agree on what picture to put on the back so they put all of them on.  It's as bad as the official Milwaukee flag. 




Secondly, I have maintained for many years that Marquette promotes our single national championship way too much.  Marquette fans who like to talk about 1977 aren't any better than the Bears fans who talk about 1985.

Marquette should find a way to fully incorporate the People's Flag as part of the design.

I want this as my profile's signature

For a program that has such a rich tradition of unique uniform designs, why doesn't MU ever wear retro jerseys? I mean as a one off occasionally.

The road (light blue) MU jersey from the early 70's is so awesome.

You have my permission to do so.

Agree.  Years that end in 4 or 9 could have 74 retro jerseys.  Years that end in 2 or 7 could have 77 retro jerseys.  Years that end in 3 or 8 could have 2003 jerseys.  In the other years, could bring back former players for a retro night.

you forgot the key demographic - sweater vests...

Broeker blames it on Nike/Jordan. But a ton of those schools wear throwbacks.

I do wonder if it's a licensing thing with the designs. They sold replicas awhile back in the shop.

Hmm, you're right though, a lot of Jordan schools have worn throwbacks. Houston, as an example, two years ago:

Gray sweater vests with navy, gold, and championship blue argyle.

St John's does for Men's hoops, but it's a throwback to the 80s unis. Michigan State and Providence do for hockey, but again, those have history. Our  MBB unis "script"  has no foundation in our history, it's just out there.

[BrewCity83]

Gray sweater vests with navy, gold, and championship blue argyle.

The sweater vest that would sell would be navy with the navy/gold/valour blue tile striping down both sides.

[BrewCity83]

I love this idea too.  It wouldn't be hard because the colors are already there.  A great way to show the city some love.

The volleyball team's uniforms are clean. Use those as your starting point and make something cool out of it for basketball.

Could use something really similar to their jersey and maybe add a bit to the design.



For the shorts you could do something like these Bucks shorts but obviously make the bottom stripes the championship blue and gold and the Bucks logo the MU (or better yet, the 03 style Golden Eagle logo).

The hoops team has too many logos on it.  Time to take "Al" off the jersey.  It's 2024.  Move along 

[Shooter McGavin]

Yep.  Way too busy right now.  Looks like Girl Scout patches randomly placed on the front of their jerseys.

Who is this "AL"? Never heard of her

[GB Warrior]

Replace it with the Israeli flag

[Galway Eagle]

Why do we have the American flag? It's pointless. Even Army and Airforce don't do it, if it's not necessary to them I'm quite confident it's ok not to have it.

"Al" is off the jersey, it's on the shorts now. https://gomarquette.com/news/2024/11/9/mens-basketball-mub-hosts-central-michigan-monday-to-conclude-marquette-challenge

The BE can get rid of the "Be The Change" now. More clutter.

The flag can go too. It goes back to the 2001-02 season and just stayed. If it's going to be on the jersey put it on the back above the name.

Didn't it come back with the Frankenstein jersey that tried to combine jerseys from eras? The Howard era jerseys that I've tried to forget.

Yep. That was their nod to the 2003 set.

Agree, it's ridiculous.

I learned today that the national color of dentists is lilac, so maybe a thin-lilac line flag in honor of the worst alumni section in the country.
