BYU basketball mountain shorts >>> Utah football mountain sleeves

YIsForBrigham All-American

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

BlueFrog

9/26/16 7:56pm

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

ataylor

9/26/16 7:56pm

At least it isn't the license plate font design

Not a fan but don't think the uni's win games.

soupie

9/26/16 7:57pm

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

NewMexiCoug

9/26/16 7:57pm

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

Who's Walter Weinstein CPA on the left?

Big Daddy D

Is that Beo?

BGRTHNUMEGO

Probably so.

Yes

Is #15 Dastrup? If so, he looks like a man among boys, and looks to be more in

White and nerdy team

Haha. Definitely not cool.

mokelembembe

9/26/16 8:19pm

Well that's embarrassing. Nice start to the upcoming season.

southernfriedcougar

9/26/16 8:19pm

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

ElCapo

9/26/16 8:39pm

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

BearsandBulls

9/26/16 9:04pm

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

ataylor

9/26/16 9:25pm

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

BearsandBulls

9/26/16 9:47pm

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

ataylor

9/26/16 9:50pm

Believe whatever you want.

BearsandBulls

9/26/16 9:52pm

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

reddead

9/27/16 10:43am

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

DwideCougar

9/26/16 9:36pm

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

coug10278

9/26/16 9:42pm

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...

BearsandBulls

9/26/16 10:38pm

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

ataylor

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

9/27/16 8:06am

Sounds like someone is passing the buck for the bad decision

coug10278

9/26/16 9:59pm

Bingo.

ataylor

9/26/16 10:01pm

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

cougarmann

9/26/16 11:48pm

Why does it seem like Nike can't design?

phageman

9/27/16 6:07am

Freaking gross!

nashty

9/26/16 9:40pm

Just wow!!! Hideous

Chicago Cougar fan

9/26/16 9:44pm

What happens when they all touch the ball like that together?

RunningQB

9/26/16 9:50pm

With your powers combined!

YIsForBrigham

9/26/16 9:57pm

I'm trying really hard to summon up the outrage that you guys are feeling about

dilbert

9/26/16 9:57pm

Yes, you are the only one.

coug10278

9/26/16 10:00pm

Engineer say no more

Chicago Cougar fan

Of course, on the upside, my son won his Pinewood Derby every year.

dilbert

9/26/16 10:04pm

Think my post above is about on the same page and yours. Meh-- whatev.

soupie

9/26/16 10:16pm

You are not the only one who doesn't get all worked up

BYUHgrad

9/27/16 7:14am

They make our team look weak and soft, lol!

Ash

9/27/16 9:43am

I have no strong feeling either way about the shorts.

jensen46

9/27/16 12:25pm

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

Cougarfan777

9/26/16 10:08pm

Those SUCK

palangi

9/26/16 10:10pm

Both are ugly.

CougarEyes

9/26/16 10:17pm

Everyone is talking about the shorts

CougsinCa

9/26/16 10:27pm

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

ataylor

9/26/16 10:31pm

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

cougarmann

9/26/16 11:38pm

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

Harrison0Yfan

9/26/16 10:38pm

ataylor: blaming you if the mtns ever go tan...seems we're aiming for ugly..stop

I don't give a mound. Just. Win. Baby.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/26/16 10:50pm

Those are seriously bad enough to warrant some

Gerald-DeGroot

9/26/16 11:27pm

Lol...I've never seen some shorts get such a reaction. I don't get the big deal

Machiavelli

9/26/16 11:43pm

You all are a bunch of pansies. Good grief!

IceBlue

9/26/16 11:44pm

Pansies with taste.

Gerald-DeGroot

9/26/16 11:46pm

But pansies none the less...

IceBlue

9/26/16 11:57pm

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

Blusox

9/27/16 8:57am

THEY ARE BASKETBALL SHORTS! This is madness...

Machiavelli

9/27/16 9:19am

Haha, very true.

RunningQB

9/27/16 9:27am

I hope all opposing teams think the same thing and overlook them in every game.

Do you like the smell of poop too?

Gerald-DeGroot

9/27/16 12:07am

Is this a personal question or just for a friend?

IceBlue

9/27/16 1:17pm

Taysom is to blame for those shorts. Gotta be Taysom's fault

youngster

9/27/16 6:53am

They're not great, but they're not the end of the world either.

buffgato

9/27/16 7:00am

Wow, had no idea folks could feel so strongly about this... No big deal to me...

Last years looked like they'd worked on a car and wiped off grease.
