Students, faculty and staff were oblivious of my Byu gear. One even wondered aloud why there was so much traffic. I had to let him know it was game day.

Why do we care?

Sea Chicken

Because UCLA just inked a $280 Million deal with Under Armour

Iman23

Yeah, I don't care about any of those things

Sea Chicken

I think it's the money part you should care about.

Wasn't part of Kalani's agreement that BYU would become a Tier 1 Nike school?

this has nothing to do with sales. it has everything to do with under armour...

Good for y'all. I really hope BYU can become a brand that people from all walks

Harrison0Yfan

5/24/16 12:55pm

Yeah, me too...but it's never gonna happen in a large manner

Borg

5/24/16 3:06pm

Agreed, I doubt it gets widespread like ND. But I hope we can at least get to

If I wear my gear when I make the rare trip to the store on Sunday for something

Also, you have to buy gear for a large family

Still have mine but only for working in the yard never out in public

CariocaCoug

5/24/16 10:11am

All BYU gear with tan, gold, or a bib should be burned..... Yet I still see it

BYUheaven

5/24/16 10:17am

The problem with this is they still sell it...

CariocaCoug

5/24/16 10:31am

It is your duty to buy it, all of it, walk out in the parking lot and burn it

BYUheaven

5/24/16 12:48pm

Seriously, how are people still wearing ratty t-shirts from 13 years ago?

CaliWG

I have made it a point lately to update my family and kids gear each year for

You left out the "buying 2nd hand BYU gear at DI" as a reason.

It's hard to be cheap and a Nike snob but

Pretty sure the mods kept their first estate....I think....right?

It isn't hard to identify the reason: we Mo-Mos are cheap as shut-yo-mouth

Not sure where a lot of you live, but I don't have any retired mormon friends.

They're pretty well everywhere I've ever been.

Element of truth, but plenty of exceptions to this. There are obviously

Bob Vance

That's why I said there are exceptions, but I bet it's 9 to 1

Borg

My theory is that Mormons are cheap and wait until gear shows up at Ross

Almost that entire post is wrong.
