The culture of the fans had to be changed not the color...

Blue Ghost All-American

Cougarboard helped changed that a few years later with our Blue Out campaign...

We only wore royal and some wrote letters trying to persuade anyone that would listen that it was a bad idea... Of course, only deaf ears.

Interesting. Yeah, didn’t really like that decision. I like the white shoes

That makes sense. We played Penn st in the 89 holiday bowl and switched to black cleats in 1990.

How did you fight it? Did you buy a bunch of royal gear?

I hated the logo change and the TAN. I like both blues.

I came to appreciate both blues, but the tan was a dumb idea...

I'm with her! Nike is the source of the navy addition along with the tan they tried. Quit messing

If Zach can bring us 2 wins over Utah and a NY6 Bowl I will fall of his mom, dad

Utah State? So many schools use navy blue and you think of Utah State.

That's who I think of too. Many because it's the closest to us with that color

NAVY was our color BEFORE royal!

“Gimmick” color or not, it was truly their color of success when they had it!

Wrong. Royal was not just worn in the 80’s and 90’s.

And him comparing the color to some weak teams is a weak argument.

Not the same Royal we wear today, but certainly not Navy.

I love how half the people in the photo shared for DSORB aren't wearing DSORB

I'm torn. I think the royal blue wins out because it's just much more exciting

I’m okay with the team wearing royal, but I don’t want to wear it.
