Pre-1973

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.

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.

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)

1966-1969; Nov.1972-Dec. 1972

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 month as head coach in 1972.

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.


Jan. 1973- Mar. 1975

New jerseys arrived for coach Thompson's teams in January 1973 and were worn through the conclusion of the 1974-75 season. These were the first of three road jersey styles that moved Georgetown from a navy or dark blue jersey into its "Carolina blue" color of the mid-70's and early 80's.

1973-1975 (Away)

These were the first of three road jersey styles that moved Georgetown from a Navy or dark blue jersey into its "Carolina blue" color of the mid-70's and early 80's.


1975-1978

Home and road jerseys featured an oversized jersey top across the shorts. The jersey set was the last of its kind that did not feature a player's name on the back of the jersey.

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.

Nov. 1982-Dec. 1984

As fans pushed Georgetown to return to more traditional colors, a first-ever gray home jersey was paired with a navy blue road prior to the 1982-83 season. Widely associated with the 1983-84 NCAA championship team, the jerseys were in use through December 1984.

1982-1984 (Away)

A navy blue jersey returned to Georgetown's road set.


Jan. 1985- Apr. 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.

1985-1989

For the first month of the 1985-86 season, Georgetown sported a V-neck jersey which looked markedly different between its home and road colors. The lettering of the road jersey was difficult to read and necessitated a design change, which was worn through the 1988-89 season.

Feb. 1989-Feb. 1991

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

Feb. 1991-Mar. 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.

1993-94

Worn just one season, this uniform set was the first to feature "Hoyas" and not "Georgetown" across the front of the home jerseys.

1994-96

The jersey style most associated with the Allen Iverson era introduced a side jersey trim resembling kente cloth. A black jersey was introduced as an alternate for road play.

1996-97

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.

1997-2002

Georgetown went to a tank-top look for the 1997-98 season. An alternate gray uniform saw little action and was retired after one season. An alternate black jersey debuted in the 2000-01 season.

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.

2012-2014

An updated jersey arrived for the second home game of the 2012-13 season, returning to the 2005-07 typography, with minor striping changes, a small "G" logo above the nameplate, and the return of "Georgetown" to the home gray jersey. A pair of alternate jerseys, white at home and black on the road, also saw brief appearances.

Feb. 2014- Dec. 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.

Dec. 2014-Mar. 2015

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, a style which would continue through the 2019-20 season.

2015-2018

A design change followed in 2015, with a tighter fit and a lighter gray on the home jerseys, which now read "Hoyas". A pair of alternate jerseys, white at home and black on the road, also saw rotation over three seasons.

2018-2019

The jersey styles of the 2018-19 season were, well, a mess. The four styles from 2017-18 were returned, adding two fluorescent shades of teal and reviving the 2014-15 alternate gray look, a seven jersey set that was enough to keep fans guessing throughout the season.
