They're better, but not much. Both look dumb.

Oh my. Those are horrible. Why do teams do this?

Ugh. The 1997-98 Jazz called and said they want their shorts design back.

At least it isn't the license plate font design

Well, we do have an actual mountain with an actual Y on it.

Those are absolutely terrible. I wouldn't sign to play at BYU if I saw those

Good grief. Do they ever run these designs past anybody??

It's all Nike. Our in-house guys and gals have no say whatsoever.

I highly doubt that they're just shipping things without any kind of feedback or

I'm telling you. Our design people didn't see these until the decision had

Sorry, I'm not buying it. And even if that were the case, it's our own fault for

Odd... I saw these and immediately thought the block Y would have been better

So they can't change it? Please say they can still change to a different design!!!!! AWFUL!!

No way...Nike works with teams on uni concepts

It's not nearly as democratic as you'd think.
BearsandBulls
9/26/16 9:51pm
Nor is it nearly as totalitarian as you are making it sound. Even high school
ataylor
9/26/16 9:57pm
We got to pick the templates, but the design is 100% Nike.
BearsandBulls
9/26/16 10:01pm
Nike's templates don't all have mountains on them. In fact, the mountains are
ataylor
9/26/16 10:06pm
The design is completely Nike's.
BearsandBulls
9/26/16 10:12pm
I'm not saying Nike doesn't come up with the designs. I'm saying BYU has control
ataylor
9/26/16 10:24pm
In any case I hope the team makes them a classic uniform by making a deep NCAA
ataylor
9/26/16 10:27pm
Look, man. I'm sure BYU could have made a stink...

Here are two things that irk me a little about that:

9/26/16 11:02pm
Also, I'm weird and care way too much about this kind of stuff. Obviously.
ataylor
9/26/16 11:13pm
I agree that it's epic bad design. To my sensibilities, they're almost as bad
BearsandBulls

Sounds like someone is passing the buck for the bad decision

Bingo.

I can't believe they just send us whatever - I'm sure SOMEONE in the athletic
OGSuperfan
9/26/16 9:44pm
Exactly. It's not like boxes of uniforms just show up. Even high school teams
ataylor
9/26/16 9:54pm
You keep saying "Even High Schools..." High schools aren't paid
cougarmann
9/26/16 11:08pm
That's true. Just pointing out that even at that level there are options.
ataylor
9/26/16 11:12pm
Yeah, but Nike likes to use College unis to test new designs.
cougarmann
9/26/16 11:33pm
True. I'm not convinced they're testing a new "mountain template" that they
ataylor
9/26/16 11:40pm
Probably not testing templates, testing geometry, stylized shapes, fonts, etc

Why does it seem like Nike can't design?

I have no strong feeling either way about the shorts.

Would have never noticed. Big deal. I usually just watch the ball.

Yep, not a great combo -- the team name is set in BYU's brand logotype, which

A long 2-word name is almost impossible to deal with.

They're not that bad you ninnies. Geez.
Harrison0Yfan
9/26/16 10:31pm
I think part of it is that we've been mocking Utah for a slightly worse version
ataylor
9/26/16 10:35pm
Makes sense. Reaction is just overblown. I'm ambivalent towards them, only way

But pansies none the less...

I'm not going to lie, that team looks more church ball than a legit threat.
