They're wearing the baby blues tonight.

WE'RE FREAKING SCREWED!

Glad we got that out of the way.

Is the curse broken if we keep it within 20 or do we actually have to win?

Does anybody know why the text for these jerseys is different than our normal golds and blues? The baby blues' "MARQUETTE" has individual letters stitched on as opposed to one big name.

The font is the only thing I don't like. It is really bad.  With a name as long as Marquette,  you need some arc.  Hopefully, that gets changed......how about cursive???  That's my favorite.

Before Chicos and 84 jump down my throat, this is what went down with the jerseys.

Crean had control over the jersey design when the Converse deal was signed. The original design was the one they sell in the Spirit Shop. TC didn't think it was "retro" enough, so he had that block font taken from the letterhead and put on the jerseys instead. It looks horrid.

That coming from the same dude who can't get a decent haircut or learn the proper tie length. He also thought Gold would be a great nickname.

Can you clarify? I actually like the lettering on the baby blues. Was that the original lettering on all jerseys? I think the block font looks mentally challenged.

I blame the jerseys for the half court shot at the end of the half.   :P

The font on the other three jerseys was supposed to be on the baby blues as well. The baby blues got changed last minute.

Before last season (or maybe it was the '07-'08 season) uniwatch on espn.com had a baby blue throwback that Marquette was supposed to wear but I don't think I've ever seen it. Anyone know anything about this?

That one on uniwatch was the actual old jersey that MU wore around 1974 that these new ones were inspired by.  I think it's hanging in a display case at the Al.

For the record, I think the font on the baby blues looks better than on the other jerseys.  I also think the boys showed last night that they can play well in the baby blues.  The jinx is off--we beat the spread.

I agree, I like the font on the "electric" blues better also, it looks more unique.  Nothing necessarily wrong with the other ones, they just look like generic jersey lettering.

I have no problem with the lettering, so I'll refrain from jumping down anybody's throat.  However, after last night I'd like to see the baby blues retired permanently. 

I do prefer a more classic lettering over the modern text used on the gold/white/dark blue.  Curved or straight I don't care.

Meanwhile, we should petition the NCAA to bring back the bumblebees.  Or stick with gold.  Or bring back the Big Blue Ball.  Anything other than having to endure another loss-inducing baby blue game.

I always thought it would look nice if they took the lettering off of the 03 jerseys and put it on the current design. Just a consistent, clean block lettering. Would really help with the "throwback" vibe they tried to get.

These woman's retro jerserys are awesome!  That blue is the color that the mens uniforms were and should be now - not that lame powder blue.

Agree 100%.  Modify the unis for next year under the Jordan brand.

I wish they would wear these uni's more often. Only thing is I think they should have the MARQUETTE lettering like that on there other colered jerseys. No need to be so supersticious. Jersey color being worn has nothing to do with wins and losses. We had plenty of chances to seal the deal on Tuesday but played horrible in the last :30 some seconds.

Finally found it, thanks to the wiki.

Here's the "retro" look for those jerseys, aka their letterhead from 2006-07.

The Lettering is vintage Marquette (from 82-83, I believe).

But the jerseys are GOD-AWFUL! they look like cheap, iron-on replicas!
