Are you willing to take that risk? Sure it is easy to assume it doesn't really make a difference... But we can't prove it beyond knowing that I'm the last ~20 years our record in Royal is awful... Not worth the gamble on an assumption. Numbers don't lie.

Zach wants BYU to drop Navy as a color

4/16/19 7:01pm

Good for him. Shut up and play football.

Indy Coug

Why? Is it not a relevant topic for him?

What a bad take.

Wow that really attacks the notion that college athletes are just slaves to be used for our entertainment.

Because Zach plays QB better than you CB.

I don't think BYU has ever used the blue color on that Chargers' uniform.

SpiffCoug

4/16/19 7:06pm

Is he suggesting Charger blue? Thought he just wanted navy dropped.

soupie

4/16/19 7:08pm

And when the Charger blue jersey wears out, you can turn it into a blankie

Indy Coug

4/16/19 7:13pm

He's just saying if the chargers can change why can't BYU

4/16/19 7:14pm

That’s what I thought too.

The uniform in the clip where Haws is getting kicked

BYU bball has worn a powder/Chargers blue before. But I don't remember football doing it.

Powder Blue =/= Royal Blue.... but I'd love royal back.

RyneK

4/16/19 7:07pm

The point he was trying to make is the Chargers decided to change their jersey

4/16/19 7:11pm

Then he should have said that.

RyneK

4/16/19 7:51pm

Preach it

WDaddy

4/16/19 7:10pm

That is their primary color, it’s the dark blue uniforms the Chargers should get

RC Vikings

4/16/19 7:13pm

They changed. They used to be dark blue.

SoCalCoug

4/16/19 7:18pm

Actually, I think the dark royal the Chargers used at the end of the Fouts years

The Chelsea Dagger

I like both Navy and Royal. We should continue using both

Dynasty1

4/16/19 7:21pm

Sure, but with royal blue as the primary color, and navy every now and then.

Game Changer

4/16/19 7:24pm

I like the Navy Blue uniforms.

BlueFever

4/16/19 7:45pm

I like wins, so that means navy. We just don't win in Royal. It is cursed.

BYUtka

4/16/19 7:52pm

Last game with a win was the bowl

4/16/19 7:57pm

Ahem

4/16/19 8:07pm

Lol. We can't win in Navy? What color did we wear in the 80s?

Cougar8Duck

4/16/19 8:12pm

That was nearly 40 years ago...

BYUtka

4/16/19 8:19pm

Well, if you've got some evidence that shows supports your case, I'd love to see

Cougar8Duck

4/16/19 8:34pm

2019- 1980= 39. 39 rounds up to 40. The 80's we're nearly 40 years ago. Math.

BYUtka

4/16/19 8:39pm

Silly. Now support the math for the Navy vs Royal, but maybe I was just trolled.

It has been posted a number of times before. You can find it yourself.

Game Changer

That was 3 coaches and 30-40 years ago...

BYUtka

4/16/19 8:20pm

But he was the last coach to have royal as main color.

ochobeeguy

4/17/19 10:44am

In addition to what has already been said, what color BYU wears has absolutely zero affect on wins/losses.

And if you like being weird, you type things like this.

4/16/19 8:25pm

BYU won its natty in royal. Not sure where this comes from

From here:

BYUtka

4/16/19 9:01pm

I really don't believe a color has much to do with that

Resurgens

4/16/19 9:07pm

(Plus we tend to wear royal in rivalry and other tough games)

TCuz

4/16/19 9:14pm

Exactly - royal often used in games we're more likely to lose

Resurgens

4/16/19 9:20pm

Right. Because we are wearing Royal and it is CURSED ~~~

BYUtka

4/16/19 9:29pm

If you like National Championships you like Royal not Navy

BYUFootballisBack

What is this, baseball? The starting QB dictates what the team wears?

The Chelsea Dagger

4/16/19 8:39pm

No, but he is allowed to have an opinion just like the rest of us.

BlueBeliever

4/16/19 11:34pm

Sure, but the fact we’re discussing means his opinions somehow has more weight

The Chelsea Dagger

4/17/19 12:42am

He's the starting qb so it does carry more weight.

Mrs Featerbottom

4/17/19 10:30am

BYU isn't that color, but I agree with the sentiment - bring back royal

Resurgens

4/16/19 8:54pm

Bring back Lavell's royal blue. They keep trying and miss the mark!
