On Sunday afternoon, Marquette confirmed a widely held belief amongst the fans of the men’s basketball program: There will be brand new uniforms for the 2016-17 season.
There’s a couple of reasons why this was a no-brainer for the athletic department. First, 2016-17 is the 100th season of Marquette basketball. Of course you want to have a fresh look for an anniversary year. Second, MU debuted the current look in the 2007-08 season , followed by a minor refresh to the look in 2011-12. That’s been long enough with one particular set of uniforms where everyone can feel comfortable with a refresh.
