Marquette jerseys for coaches v. cancer this Saturday

No, I don't like them, and would have preferred pink shoes or something. But I doubt they will be much of a deal. Didn't Jamil lose his mother to cancer? Might be why he likes them. Perhaps he'll have a great game.

I like them. I get that breast cancer gets a ton of attention, but it's still a worthwhile cause and drawing attention to Marquette basketball is always a good thing. They'll be seen on Fox Sports Live and SportsCenter, no doubt about that. Navy blue trim would have looked better, but still a slick looking jersey.

Probably better than some of those glow in the dark unis Baylor and others have worn.

Not really sure why the angst from some about the uniforms. The fact that two players have a close experience with cancer, I am betting this gets significant play nationally. Add to that, sales after. Smart marketing move, even if some old males do not like it. I doubt you guys who complained are their target market anyway.

The naysayers can watch the game on their old black and white TV's.

Well, you got your wish with the shoes. Apparently they will be pink Jordans!

I don't mind the jerseys at all, as I said - outline the numbers and name with navy blue and they look great.

get over yourselves ! I love that our team is willing to put on these uniforms, wearing pink makes a statement that there are things in life more important then a basketball game and I consider myself a passionate MU fan !

My wife is a cancer survivor and Marquette's special effort to raise awareness of the fight to find a cure is extremely meaningful for our family. FYI, women like men who wear pink. They think it's sexy so we need to warn the players to watch out for that. ;-)

Great to raise awareness. Just a question. Does MU fund the cost of the unis and shoes or is it funded by the C vs. C organization?
