Thrill All-American

or a shade of it. It looks good. At least offer polos, sweatshirts, jackets, etc, as an option for those that prefer it over navy. No harm in offering both.

great, now my "Fully Invested" T-shirt will look out-of-date

It's like BYU is trying to force us to buy new apparel every 5-10 years.

I imagine navy blue will still be an alternative color, much like royal is now

FireInside

I was there right before the switch to navy blue. Navy blue dominated the stands

This is true. I hated royal as a teen because it was so bright.

frontrowcougar

12/28/15 3:27pm

Bright is good in the stands. Just need to get everyone to buy royal coats, etc

Times change. Royal was "out" style in the 00's. Bright colors in now.

Spine

This is a good point. The brighter/more neon, the better

Don't sweat it. People will continue to buy and wear the dark blue.

best way to avoid that is to get the gray merch

I hope it's Detmer era blue and not whatever shade we had in the Vegas bowl.

TaiJuan

I would also accept 1984 royal blue. 2009-2015 royal has like one or two good memories.

TaiJuan

12/28/15 3:28pm

Probably Nike Royal = Vegas Bowl Royal.

Can it be the real royal blue and not the fluorescent garbage they use now?

I'm floored. Not only do guys complain about Navy, but now that we'll have Royal Blue,

Once I saw the shade of royal (starting in 2009) I stopped wanting royal.

TaiJuan

Some fans will complain about anything ^^^^

Zach Morris

I thought the royal blue with white looked awesome in the bowl game

The shade they use now is the best shade of blue.

I have fond memories of watching Royal play, but let's be honest ...

I love the pop that royal brings. Wear your colors loud and proud. If it has

SausageKing

Definitely should wear navy for every USU game.

jakesnake

12/28/15 4:28pm

Haha, if we do go to Royal, we should do this. Navy-out for USU just to bug 'em

You mean ... kind of like they already do offer merchandise in both?

runnincoug

12/28/15 7:12pm

Not even close to same stuff. There are like 2 or 3 royal blue stretch Y

Royal is seen a lot better in the stands. Navy is a very passive color. I like

i can attest gameday sales will be up, overall sales will be down.

Amen brother! You should let Holmoe know this. Your feedback holds value.

Kerbouchard

12/28/15 5:38pm

Great idea! I'm sure Holmoe et al made the decision without considering the impact it would have on apparel sales.

Conan

12/28/15 8:01pm

Is this a meaningful stat? Folks generally want gear in our actual color

If that's their market research, they must have gotten their degrees from the U

Can we get the real Nike hats the baseball team wears?

Ragnar Danneskjold

Would LOVE to, but Nike's min. to get them made is 3000 hats.

You've got 2 people willing to buy. Take a leap of faith!

The basketball team has a navy uniform with dashes of royal blue. It looks nice.
