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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Replace it with the Israeli flag

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.
