While correlation does not imply causation, Marquette has been dominant when sporting the home whites.
Thanks to the fanaticism of Gold N. Eagle, Emeritus (aka @TallTitan34), here is the complete summary of Marquette's record when wearing each of its four jerseys. (Since their debut with the 2007-08 season. BIG EAST records are in parenthesis.)

Notes of interest...
- The two wins in the Valour Blues came against Florida Gulf Coast on Senior Night 2008 and St. John's via Jimmy Butler's buzzer-beating game winner.
- The only three losses in the whites occurred against Georgetown (2007-08 regular season), Pittsburgh (2008 BIG EAST Tournament) and North Carolina State (2009-10).
- With a record of four games over .500, Marquette has fared well in the Navy jerseys-- an impressive feat given that these are only worn on the road or in neutral court games.
