Navy helmets??? 🤢

Please no

There are rumors of BYU football and the possibility of NEW helmet designs this season..

We're hearing an all Navy look and an all Royal look could be in the works. Here's my mock-up of what those could possibly look like:

Navy helmets??? 🤢

I like them.

Ragnar Danneskjold

2/23/21 8:15am

Better than expected for all Navy. All Royal is better though of course.

The all navy unis are my least favorite. Look like blueberries out there.

2/23/21 8:19am

What's not to like? Not like they'll be permanent

People liked the Navy helmets and tan in 99 too. We all know how that turned out

arizonacougarfan

2/23/21 8:49am

I don't know a single person who liked the tan.

2/23/21 9:15am

That was a color combo that MIGHT'VE worked in '77.

the design team for the '99 rebrand was mostly NIKE based on historic colors for

Nobody liked navy and tan. Those uniforms were horrible.

Zastava

2/23/21 12:45pm

That tan wasn't subtle at all. It was solid, & very heavy in yellow.

SinkingQuffa

2/23/21 12:46pm

It was dreadful. I was so excited when I learned BYU was going to have Nike...

Zastava

2/23/21 12:50pm

Remember the poop-stain cougar head on basketball shorts?

SinkingQuffa

2/23/21 2:15pm

Those were absolutely cringeworthy. I don’t know how those ever got made.

Zastava

2/23/21 4:59pm

A good laugh. There was a national announcer who made a deadpan comment on them.

SinkingQuffa

2/23/21 6:05pm

Tan should NEVER be a sports team color.

The all navy looks really good. I also like how the helmet looks with navy helmet, navy top, white pants. I’m not sold

2/23/21 8:36am

BYU has one of the most iconic helmets in all of CFB

CaliWG

2/23/21 9:06am

As soon as fans realize this isn't them, the better. This is for the players on the field. And I love it.

2/23/21 9:14am

It’s for players and recruits

LyleLanley

2/23/21 9:40am

The brand is bigger than the players

CaliWG

2/23/21 9:45am

Legit such a poor argument when BYU has worn blue helmets throughout its history

JCoug94

2/23/21 10:05am

"Throughout its history." How about since BYU actually had a brand to protect?

CaliWG

2/23/21 10:09am

I promise you if you go up to a random CFB fan and ask them, ‘Does BYU have a

We live in a different CFB world than existed in '99-'04.

If this sounded like a one off, I don't think it would be such a huge deal

CaliWG

Nobody flips through channels anymore. I see this argument a lot, and it hasn’t been valid for 20 years

Alpi Gusto

2/23/21 10:33am

Blue helmets in navy and royal will be cool. I’ve wanted to see those for years.

BlooCoog

2/23/21 9:17am

We could always go all Navy and paint the field navy as well.

Northpaw

2/23/21 9:42am

And have one player lay down for kick-offs?! such a great idea!

cmoney

2/23/21 9:49am

BYU needs to decide what its dang color is. That navy helmet is horrible.

Zastava

2/23/21 9:47am

More options and colors is what players want. Get used to it.

Cougar TD

2/23/21 9:59am

Agree this. Fan's tastes will be all over the spectrum based on their age and personal views. Most important opinions

CLCougar

2/23/21 10:37am

Meh, I’ll just turn off the TV or give my seats away when they’re wearing Navy.

Zastava

2/23/21 11:59am

Really? You would stop watching because they are wearing a color that you do not

Cougar TD

2/23/21 12:14pm

Nope. I’m a child of the 70’s and 80’s. BYU=royal. I can’t stomach navy.

Zastava

2/23/21 12:40pm

Well I guess you will be a Utah state fan now.

LyleLanley

2/23/21 1:05pm

Nope.

Zastava

2/23/21 1:10pm

If not a troll, then you are being a terrible fan. It is a color, we all have

Cougar TD

2/23/21 1:17pm

I’m a horrible fan. I watch BYU sports purely for entertainment purposes.

Zastava

2/23/21 4:50pm

You don't have to follow them blindly, but your odd connection to a single color

Cougar TD

2/23/21 5:19pm

I don’t like Navy. BYU’s insistence on using it annoys me.

Zastava

2/23/21 7:12pm

You are definitely looking for an excuse to be angry.

Cougar TD

2/23/21 7:48pm

I’m not angry.

Zastava

2/24/21 7:57am

You are acting like it, over the color of navy blue. Saying that your time is

Cougar TD

2/24/21 11:11am

This is an intriguing post. With the background you've shared, it begs the question how you got started following BYU

CLCougar

2/23/21 5:36pm

I grew up in Provo and I’ve been cheering for BYU since birth.

Zastava

2/23/21 7:41pm

So it has nothing to do with Lavell retiring, or BYU no longer being a continual

Cougar TD

2/23/21 7:46pm

Since you followed BYU in the 70's when the program was just coming into vogue that puts you in your late 50's or 60's

CLCougar

2/23/21 7:59pm

So how did those conversations go when your wife or date came out with an outfit or color you detested? Did you rip

CLCougar

You could have ended your post with the word "child"

Alpi Gusto

2/23/21 2:02pm

Bronco had players burn the navy helmets when he started. For good reason.

arizonacougarfan

2/23/21 10:00am

Yeah, I’m sure that happened.

Alpi Gusto

2/23/21 10:33am

Go watch “Tradition, Spirit, Honor”

arizonacougarfan

2/23/21 10:55am

It did. It was in that Tradition, Spirit, Honor movie.

ccitycougar

2/23/21 10:55am

It absolutely happened.

All Any Color is bad fashion. Black even worse. Whats wrong with the classic?

DazeofBlue

2/23/21 10:46am

The uniform template is exactly the same. They are just adding blue lids.

JCoug94

2/23/21 10:49am

The new generation is bringing back mom jeans

CaliWG

2/23/21 11:25am

We need a cougar fashion category, for the truly bored.

HenderCoug

2/23/21 10:59am

They will be matte navy. It's actually gonna look amazing.

andrewg3

2/23/21 11:06am

They both look great.... nothing beats the white and Royal but those shake thing

Ugh. Does Notre Dame ever change their helmets? Don't think so.

JCoug94

2/23/21 12:24pm

CLCougar

I stand corrected. However, BYU should "never" go away from the classic white/Y.

BleedCougarBlue2

2/23/21 12:32pm

Well they are 🤷‍♂️ Same template as the normal helmets, just inverses.
