1907-1918

The original style carried a plain blue jersey for all games.

1919-1928

Following the original all-blue jersey, a "G" logo was added in the late 1910's, though it did not appear in all photos over the ensuing years.

service-image

1928-1931

This style was the first to carry the name "Georgetown" on the jersey and apparently the first to feature a home and away color.

service-image

1931-1942

This style was the first to carry numbers by player, though not until 1933. The first group (1933-34) used numbers under 30, the second (1934-39) from 50 to 85, and the third (1939-42) a mixture of numbers from 6 to 60.

service-image

1942-1948

These jerseys were worn with the 1942-43 NCAA Final Four team and continued through 1947-48. Jersey numbers were from numbers 3 through 17 only.

service-image

1948-1958

Various archival photos indicate that two different styles were worn simultaneously by Georgetown teams through much of the late 1940's and 1950's. It appears that a modified design was used as replacement jerseys even as other ones were still in use.

service-image

1958-1966

This style is best remembered as the uniforms of coach Tom O'Keefe's era (1960-66), which included different jersey numbers for home and away games (even numbers at home, odd numbers on the road)

service-image

1966-1969; 1972-1973

Introduced at the onset of the Jack Magee era, these uniforms featured a larger "Georgetown" across the jersey, and a looser fit from the uniforms of the past. The uniforms were also worn in John Thompson's first year as head coach in 1972-73.

service-image

1969-1972

An unusual jersey design popularized by Marquette in the late 60's, these were the first Georgetown uniforms since the 1920's that did not have the school's name on it, only a blue and gray stripe down the player's right side, and a stylized "GU" on the shorts.

service-image

1973-1975

New jerseys arrived for coach Thompson's teams in 1973. These were the first of three jersey styles that moved Georgetown from a Navy or dark blue road jersey into its "Carolina blue" color scheme of the mid-70's and early 80's.

service-image

1975-1978

These jerseys were introduced in the fall of 1975 seen in three seasons during the ECAC-South era. The jerseys were the last of its kind that did not feature a player's name on the back of the jersey.

service-image

1978-1982

Introduced a year before Georgetown's move to the Big East conference, the jerseys connote the classic look of the Big East championship teams of 1980 and 1982.

service-image

1982-1984

A new look came suddenly in 1982.As fans pushed to return the traditional blue and gray, Nike maintained the Georgetown style and lettering but introduced a new look-- the classic all-gray jersey, with a navy blue on the road.

service-image

1985

The first mid-season jersey change arrived in January 1985--a completely different look, similar to uniforms at Minnesota and Washington. This jersey was seen in 24 games through the end of the 1984-85 season and not seen thereafter.

service-image

1985-1988

For the first month of the 1985-86 season, Georgetown sported a very light gray jersey with narrow numbers. The jersey appears to have been restyled to a look similar to the 1982-84 teams.

service-image

1989-1991

Out of nowhere in February, 1989, the Hoyas changed jerseys. The Georgetown at Syracuse game that season simultaneously introduced new uniforms for both schools to promote a pair of Nike merchandise styles for college teams. Georgetown's style, nicknamed "the Force", carried a weathered denim look.

service-image

1991-1993

The February uniform swap continued two years later, with a new blue and gray combination. These jerseys were worn through the 1992-93 season.

service-image

1993-1994

Yet another change: this uniform set was the first to feature "Hoyas" and not "Georgetown" across the front of the home jerseys.

service-image

1994-1996

The jersey style associated with the Allen Iverson era introduced a jersey trim resembling kente cloth. Both blue and black road jerseys were used.

service-image

1996-1997

The 1996-97 season introduced two new home styles: a white jersey for the first time in 15 years, and an alternate light gray jersey that saw limited use over the course of the season. Navy blue was the road color this season.

service-image

1997-1998

Georgetown went to a "sleeveless" look for the 1997-98 season, and added new lettering for the jerseys. The alternate gray uniform saw little action and disappeared the following season.

service-image

1998-2002

By 1998, the gray jerseys and kente trim were replaced, but the uniform style of the "sleeveless" home white and the road blue were set in place for four seasons. An alternate black jersey debuted in the 2000-01 season.

service-image

2002-2005

With the home jersey practically unchanged, the road blues were replaced by colors of black and an alternate sky blue jersey. A throwback-style gray jersey was worn for two games in the 2003-04 season.

service-image

2005-2007

Georgetown returned to its familiar blue and gray color pattern for the next two seasons.

service-image

2007-2009

Two slight modifications followed in the fall of 2007, with Georgetown replacing the "collar" look on the prior jerseys and by adding a silver-gray stripe down the back of the jersey.

service-image

2009-2012

In another update, Nike returned the lettering to an 1980's look and substituted "Hoyas" on the home jersey. An alternate black jersey was worn twice during the road schedule each season.

service-image

2012-2014

An updated jersey arrived for the second home game of the 2012-13 season, returning to the 2005-09 typography, with minor striping changes and the return of "Georgetown" to the home gray jersey. An alternate white jersey was seen in two games.

service-image

2014

Without fanfare, Georgetown introduced new jerseys in February 2014, removing the kente-cloth side panels and front-side stitching for a racing stripe along the sides.

service-image

2014-2015

Without fanfare, Georgetown returned to the 2012-14 era jerseys with its December 7, 2014 game versus Towson, and stayed with the look through the end of the 2014-15 season. The team also wore an alternate gray jersey for the final five games of the season.

service-image

2015-2018

A design change followed in 2015, with a tighter fit and a lighter gray on the home jerseys, which now read "Hoyas". The alternate gray seen in 2014 appears from time to time as well.

service-image

2018-2019

The jersey styles of the 2018-19 season were, well, a mess. Two different shades of gray were matched with two fluorescent shades of teal among three different fonts and seven different looks to keep fans guessing (and groaning) throughout the season.

service-image

2019-2020

The seven disparate jersey styles seen in 2018-19 were reduced to four in the 2019-20 season.

service-image

2020-2023

The four jersey colors seen in 2019-20 were retained, but with a different font set, with two replica jersey styles added.
