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

including a chrome helmet. That's a bold faced lie... and entertaining the thought that he might be right, I'm sure there are donors out there that would flip the bill for it in a second. That's how my son's High school got alternate helmets... a local business covered the bill for it.

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

8/7/19 4:53pm

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

TheWanderer

8/7/19 4:54pm

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

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

8/7/19 5:04pm

for a blackout?

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

8/7/19 7:24pm

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

StalwartBraveTrue

8/7/19 5:54pm

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

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

If Navy is on it then no . . .

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

8/7/19 4:56pm

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

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.

8/7/19 5:31pm

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

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.

8/7/19 5:11pm

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

8/7/19 6:16pm

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

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

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.

Elwood Blues

8/7/19 6:29pm

Okay. Let’s each donate one helmet

8/7/19 6:31pm

One uniform, no alternates. Just win.

Backcountry

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

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:

Maybe he was deflecting?

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?

8/7/19 6:32pm

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

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.

8/7/19 7:43pm

So did the whole winning thing

8/7/19 8:06pm

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

8/7/19 8:11pm

As well as the facilities

8/7/19 8:12pm

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