Since we’ve had the same jerseys for about the last 3-4 years, I started looking at other teams to see what kind of new stuff they’re wearing.
I’ve seen a lot of script, cursive jerseys such as what Iowa had on the other night, UNC has one as well.
I feel like that would be a good look for Georgetown. Thoughts?
Mods, this was meant for the general thread. Sorry, can you move it?

Haven't seen the UNC cursive script jersey, and my Google search did not reveal any Tar Heel cursive script jerseys. Iowa used cursive script on its uniforms in the late 70s-early 80s (still have nightmares about those jerseys beating us in the NCAA tournament), and other schools have traditionally used a cursive script at times (Michigan State in the Magic Johnson years and Syracuse in the Pearl Washington era, as non-exclusive examples). Georgetown used a script "Hoyas" on its shooting shirts in the Patrick Ewing years.
I'm not sure that a cursive script "Georgetown" would be legible on a jersey, because of the number and formation of letters that would be required. If that were not the case, it would be an interesting update.

Regardless of design, I wish we'd stick to gray and navy blue. I am okay with the white too, but the teal is just not a good look, even if there's some historical precedent for it. I wouldn't mind our wearing them from time to time, but last year, I think we wore the navy blue only a handful of times.

I wouldn't mind our wearing them from time to time, but last year, I think we wore the navy blue only a handful of times. Each game, right before the broadcast, I have a moment of anxiety about what jerseys we will be wearing, and all too often lately that sensation is justified as the sweats come off and I see our guys wearing teal or white. PLEASE let us be navy blue and confederate gray, whether I like that name or not. It is what it is and what it is meant to be. 1 2 3 Fireballs. |

Where Potomac's tide is streaming, From her spires & steeples beaming,See the grand old banner gleaming: Georgetown's Fluorescent Teal & White!

We don’t play well in pastels.

I like kente cloth, and cursive is interesting...as long as it is blue or grey. Get it, Nike?

How about we wear the uniforms we won in?
Grey home; blue away.
Simple design.

The Atlanta Hawks just released new jerseys with the alternate being under the Jumpman brand. They played a lot of homage to the 90s styling and colors...hopefully we can see much of the same.
On a similar note, how many fans would be ok if the jerseys read "HOYAS"
across the front?

I wouldn't mind our wearing them from time to time, but last year, I think we wore the navy blue only a handful of times. Blue and gray. Not white. Not black. Not teal, tidal blue, azure, indigo, sapphire, turquoise, ultramarine, or anything else the media notes want to call it. If it's good enough for 29 other teams, it's good for men's basketball, too. |

Players: "Forget teal, now we want purple and gold!" Speaking in extremes is a great way of continuing a discussion. Your comment suggests that the players have a say in uniform design. My comments were that of the uniforms recently provided to players, many players and recruits have a stated favorite that is not aligned with some of the older and more tradition focused fans. If the school produced purple and gold uniforms and the players liked them, it seems like you should direct your criticisms to the school and not the players. |

I like it when two well respected board members have a civil joust. I am looking forward to the smell of sweat pouring through the Bose this season. |
