BYU basketball mountain shorts >>> Utah football mountain sleeves

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.

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

soupie

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

NewMexiCoug

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

Who's Walter Weinstein CPA on the left?

Is that Beo?

Probably so.

White and nerdy team

Haha. Definitely not cool.

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

With your powers combined!

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

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

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...
