Because it's probably just a sticker change on the game helmet, and not buying a new one.

Uniform rumors: No royal helmets, confirmation of all whites with royal trim,

How are royal helmets too expensive, but blackouts are not?

TheWanderer

Doesn't make sense. And every single helmet would easily be auctioned off after the game. Would probably make $.

They can probably sell all of the royal helmets for more than they paid for them

El Jefe

8/7/19 5:07pm

A lot more. They’d be able to make a bunch more and basically print money

YIsForBrigham

I am skeptical. Max it would cost 30k to outfit the whole team with helmets.

rad dawg

8/7/19 5:07pm

Helmets are more expensive than you’d think. 30k would Only cover

All white with royal trim is way better than a blackout

Id be fine wearing that for every home game, making the white with royal our

Whiteouts are dumb. Looks like we are copying Penn State.

JohnnyComeLately

8/7/19 5:07pm

I love the whiteouts and lots of teams do them

AlphaCoug

8/7/19 5:09pm

Do lots of teams also have the exact same navy and white colors as Penn State?

JohnnyComeLately

8/7/19 5:11pm

I'm not saying I want the white outs all the time. I'm saying I love the

AlphaCoug

8/7/19 5:24pm

Yeah, but did you see the post that i originally replied to? He wants white every home game.

JohnnyComeLately

8/7/19 5:29pm

Then get rid of the crappy color that is navy . . .

TBabyCougs

8/7/19 6:13pm

It's great for a September game. Navy is the color that needs to go.

ataylor

8/7/19 5:15pm

Best look out of all options is white out IMO

CougarCanuck76

8/7/19 5:45pm

If you’re going lawn bowling or to a baptism, maybe.

flyonawall

8/7/19 9:46pm

Our whiteouts with navy are the best uniforms we have

jcougars7

8/8/19 9:10am

If Navy is on it then no . . .

TBabyCougs

C'mon now, white royal white should be home and white white royal should be away

Too expensive? lol Come on Tom. There's hardly a program out there not

Lip Gallagher

There ain't no P5 money walkin' through that door anytime soon.

Pistol Shrimp

8/7/19 4:58pm

USU has at least two helmet color options. BSU as well.

ataylor

8/7/19 4:59pm

USU has all that white gold money.

IceCreamButt

8/7/19 5:31pm

Did you read what I wrote? Why do you think only P5's do this?

Lip Gallagher

8/7/19 5:07pm

I know, I know, and I'm just saying what the powers that be are likely to say. I'm with you.

Pistol Shrimp

He’s just trying to be kind. What he means is it is a stupid idea.

All-American

8/7/19 6:16pm

Surprised they didn't dust off the old "no demand" lie.

IceCreamButt

8/7/19 7:05pm

Just fix the stupid “white” helmets... no more yellow tint

1984coug

8/7/19 4:57pm

I hate that yellow tinit

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 5:00pm

I'd say putting the terrible starving kitty logo on a helmet in place of the

ataylor

8/7/19 4:58pm

absolutely. sailor coug logo is not for helmets.

mindzeYe

8/7/19 10:51pm

Alright. I will donate $250 for new helmets. Anyone else in? I’m sure we can raise money on here.

RE: Alright. I will donate $250 for new helmets. Anyone else in? I’m sure

Elwood Blues

8/7/19 6:29pm

Okay. Let’s each donate one helmet

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 6:31pm

One uniform, no alternates. Just win.

Backcountry

8/7/19 5:01pm

Pretty sure they are required to have at least Home and Away uniforms.

BYUtka

8/7/19 5:43pm

You know what i meant, right?

Backcountry

8/7/19 7:12pm

Yep... You want them to wear the same uniform home and away. That isn't allowed.

BYUtka

8/7/19 7:23pm

Will they also wear royal “road” unis with royal pants?

rainorsnow

8/7/19 5:05pm

Hopefully thats why they have royal for some road games for the fans this year.

AlphaCoug

8/7/19 5:11pm

Royal should always be the away color. Wearing white to an away game is stupid.

ataylor

8/7/19 5:14pm

Isn't white typically what the visiting team wears?

Rooney

8/7/19 11:10pm

Yes, but it’s also likely to be a secondary color of the opposing team as well.

ataylor

8/8/19 12:33am

Time to simplify the uniform options, which actually means more combinations:

ataylor

8/7/19 5:19pm

It's too expensive? My son's High school has alternate helmets...

Coug

8/7/19 6:11pm

Maybe he was deflecting?

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 6:12pm

I believe there is a staff that isn't creative enough to get it accomplished...

Coug

8/7/19 6:14pm

The old guard as in the old men of the upper echelon?

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 6:32pm

Expensive may mean not worth the price. And it’s not.

All-American

8/7/19 7:10pm

It may not be worth the price to us... but it does matter to the athletes...

Coug

8/7/19 7:35pm

It created excitement for Oregon and Baylor.

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 7:43pm

So did the whole winning thing

IceCreamButt

8/7/19 8:06pm

Which came first the alternate uniforms that brought the awesome recruits or the winning?

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 8:11pm

As well as the facilities

PessimisticCB

8/7/19 8:12pm

Innovative coaches who ran offenses that most other schools couldn't replicate.

SpiffCoug

When you don’t have a tradition, that’s what you do.

All-American

Too expensive? LOL

Fans like blackout? Never heard that before
