Awesome....figured new jerseys were coming this year. Seems like we're on 2 year cycles of the jerseys. Gotta figure that white is a third alternate with Grey still at home. Would be surprised if we went away from Grey at home.

Interestingly these arent the jerseys featured in that Nike China commercial from a few months ago, which are themselves not like the current jerseys.
And God help us that there are Grey ones of these

I'm going to be a very unhappy fan if we go back to white home jerseys.

The images of Pops and JOHN CARROLL on the back are totally bad ass. I do hope they come in gray.
EDIT: Mods, feel free to ban me for awhile, as I have certainly earned it.

The images of Pops and Fr. Healy's Chair on the back are totally bad ass. I do hope they come in gray. That bad ass in the chair is actually John Carroll. Just sayin'. |

Does no one remember the White Jersey Era? What the hell are you thinking, Georgetown?  I mean, overall they're not bad. But I don't ever want to see another Georgetown team wearing white. |

Wasn't there a photo shoot recently where the players were wearing grey?

I agree that replacing the gray uniform with white would be a poor choice. There is some historical basis for white jerseys, but I think it's best to stick with the school colors. /photo/1 |

Anyway, I really don't mind this rendition of the white. I do hope its only an alternate, although it would be cool to see the team walk out onto the deck of the USS Bataan in our dress whites. ;D Also the blue looks good. Nothing too flashy. EDIT: What do they do with the old uniforms? |

Didn't we wear white as an "alternate jersey" for one game a few years ago? Not sure if that's my memory or wishful thinking. Assuming it's the former, hopefully we're dealing with something similar here.

Good call. The pics from last week that I'm thinking about where of the warmups.
I'd be surprised if they wore white at home all season. Shocked even.

I would be very surprised if there wasn't a grey version of these and maybe even a black ;D I really like this new version of the jerseys. Can't wait to see them in action! |

It was a home game against Fairfield U. Jessie Sapp went down with a concussion in the first minute or so. White jerseys are bad news. |

Can't wait to see them in action! It was a home game against Fairfield U. Jessie Sapp went down with a concussion in the first minute or so. White jerseys are bad news. while your conclusion is correct, i think you missed about 80% of the substance along the way. See, for example... And thus shall it be inscribed in the annals of the Georgetown basketball history project: "Though speckled with some noteworthy accomplishments, including a trip to the Sweet Sixteen in 2001 and the tour-de-force 3-year career of Michael Sweetney, what is now known by Hoya fans as "The White Jersey Era" is generally lamented as, ironically, some of the darkest of times. The White Jersey Era saw the retirement of the legendary John Thompson, losing conference records, unprecedented levels of transfers, and the brief but unremarkable career of head coach Craig Esherick. Fortunately, the White Jersey Era met its demise early in the tenure of head coach John Thompson III, who ushered in a new age of Blue & Grey as Georgetown re-established its rightful position as a dominant force in college basketball for many years to come." |
