MUBB court is broken…

[🏀]

Thanks, (and yes) that's the word I needed.

That's a hard not going to happen. You don't often rebrand a monogram.

When the Big East expanded there was a push for simple, bold monogram for all the schools. The only school that didn't clean up their primary monogram was DePaul. Instead they stuck with their busy Blue Demon shield.



It's terrific branding. More and/or is not better n this situation.

I'm actually a fan of lettermarks that are instantly recognizable, so I like the MU mark (and prefer it without the "Marquette" banner).

[Spotcheck Billy]

I doubt Marquette has used anything in house for athletic branding since the name change.

Wait, what were they called before Marquette?

Agree. This is the best. I made a 3D wood version of it for my basement 7-8 years ago.



I think Marquette prefers to include the name since going with MU is still a struggle with Mizzou.

This is the best one, and I also like it without the wordmark.

I think what is strange about the court is that it doesn't tie in to our current uniforms (or any of the most recent ones. Font is different and (more irritatingly to me) the blues used are different. I'd much rather use Navy as the primary base than the royal blue.

I may be completely misremembering but I thought when the monogram logos debuted during the Gold name change, the one with the "Marquette" banner in front was to identify who this new logo belonged to with the long term goal being to go with the bannerless monogram once the logo was widely recognized.

I like the monogram.  Wouldn't change it.

The one with "Marquette" is the primary athletics monogram.  The one without is secondary.

I'm aware, but I thought the end goal was for the bannerless logo to be the primary down the road.

(Cheap plug:  I've recently added old Marquette logos to www.muoverload.com > Miscellaneous > Logos)

I enjoy that the monogram is similar to an MU used in the 60s.  See attached photo.

You are remembering correctly.

Having the school name in the logo is very mid-majorish. The MU in itself is excellent.

DePaul has doubled down on their logo, which is the worst in the conference by far. It's all over their athletic facilities now.

They doubled down ten years ago at this point it's tripled down or more. I had a depaul hat with roughly that logo in 2001

[Jay Bee]

If they put a chicken on the court, I will not attend games.

[TallTitan34]

Speaking of DePaul needing a long overdue rebrand, is Xavier ever going to drop the crappy X on the side of their shorts?

If you talk to X fans they think it's the coolest most unique thing ever

replacing Billy Blue Demon was a mistake. They released a limited number of Billy t's last year (I think I was told 400), one had to donate to buy it. They were gone within an hour.  I thought the new AD would look to make a change, instead, he's gone even more all in.

I like it. It's unique to them as the only "X" school in D1.

Funny you mention that.   I was at the last game and actually finally realized that "X" on the shorts is crossed swords.  Am I last one to notice that?

I guess it is unique in that it doesn't match the rest of their jersey.

Billy Blue Demon could get a upgrade similar to the SH Pirate and look amazing.

I agree that the " clean " MU, without the Marquette written in front is FAR better ...

And ... I never noticed that the ( ugly )
X was swords

I love this logo and wish they'd go back to it.

Providence is not far behind. Their mascot is the only mascot that Marquette fans have any grounds to critique.

Me too. If there was going to be a Golden Eagle logo a modern version of that's fine by me.

How about St Louis? That thing is terrifying.

My wife mentioned it too and thought they just duct taped it on their shorts.

This is the correct logo, and a mid court of that like Kansas would be nice.

and what's hilarious about that is the current one was a redsign after the first "new" Billiken was met with massive disdain.

If they are going to call the Mascot Friar Dom, they should have just hired this one:
