A news article about BYU colors from a few years ago

This is an interesting piece of history and a reference to the marketing studies done on the color changes. I imagine the studies, if done today, may yield different results.

Teeples: No one can argue that changing BYU's colors has not been a business success

Why did BYU change the school colors in 1999? What has been the overall effect of these moves from a business standpoint? Have fans fully embraced the Navy Blue?

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?

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

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...

We should move back to royal but we aren't giving navy back to USU since they

It’s not the same color anyway.

It's more about proximity.

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.

Belboz

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!

Desert Rat

9/18/19 8:46am

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

9/18/19 9:02am

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 was in favor of the change to Navy but repented a few years later for liking

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

eysikal

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