That's what I'm most afraid of when it comes down to it.

They've both run the numbers and it's not worth it to try to dethrone Nike. There's always the possibility of one of the Chinese brands improving quality and jumping in the ring (with lower costs and thus better margins), but I don't see that happening anytime soon nor what would make them want to do so.

I hadn’t seen these U of U helmets before. I prefer these to the drum/feather:

It helps ute students remember the shape of the state.

If I was a Yew fan, I'd take drum and feather all day over this crap. I do like

I can't unsee the clip art black circle and random line on the drum/feather logo

Oh wow. I had never noticed that. Looks really bad.

9/16/19 4:35pm

They’re cartoonish and gross. The only Utah logo that isn’t hideous is the block U because it’s just a letter

9/16/19 3:26pm

It’s a geometric state outline with two block letters. Pretty simple.

Welp not simple enough apparently.

9/16/19 3:29pm

Seems like the UU admin is gradually introducing stuff to prep for mascot change

Agreed. Only a matter of time and I wonder if that was “encouraged” by the

I don't like the helmet per se, but i really like that they do a bunch of alternate jerseys/helmets

BYU could do simple, subtle variations on the oval-Y while keeping it classy —

Half the problem might be Nike. No idea if they allow for a lot of alternates.

BayUte

I would guess Nike would be the ones pushing alternate looks. Though I think

Please keep Adidas away from BYU . . some of their uni's are horrendous

9/17/19 10:42am

Under Armour is worse in my opinion. Some of the alternate uniforms they’ve done

Adidas gave us sleeved basketball jerseys . .

9/17/19 11:01am

Yeah, they’ve done some bad stuff for NCAA hoops. There was also the year they

Your uniform opinions just went out the window. Those are awful.

Nah

Most people won't even recognize the UT outline.

That’s too bad. It’s one of the better state shapes.

Should copy the Y helmet. White U in a red oval.

Their white helmets do look better than the red ones.

Drum and Feathers. Plus, they have the approval of the actual Tribe.

oldrugger

Some of the other tribal stuff they’ve done is better.

Well, I’m pretty sure this dude designed those helmets as well

GangstaLean

9/16/19 6:06pm

Do you think he sold a single one of those (his mother's purchase excluded)?

9/16/19 7:28pm

Not a chance and I think his mom disowned him as well!
