The "Y" was plastered on BYU's helmets when LaVell coached his first game in Provo and took the program to glory.

The helmets had the"Y" on it when Jim McMahon heaved the pass to beat SMU in the Miracle Bowl.

The "Y" was on the helmets when Boscoe led BYU to a national championship in 1984.

Ty Detmer's helmet had the "Y" on the side when he beat Miami and won a Heisman Trophy for BYU.

The BYU football team wore the "Y" proudly while beating Utah year in and out en route to multiple conference championships over multiple decades.

I'm not sure if we need new fans rolling up and telling us it's time to abandon our traditions.

Further, no fan bases their decision on whether to attend a game on what color or design will be on the helmet that night. Fans show up to see quality of play on the field and Ws.
