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

Navy helmets??? 🤢

I like them.

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

2/23/21 8:18am

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CaliWG

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

Turnpike Lane

It’s for players and recruits

LyleLanley

The brand is bigger than the players

CaliWG

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

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.

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

Alpi Gusto

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

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

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

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

Alpi Gusto

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

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

CaliWG

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

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

CLCougar

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

BleedCougarBlue2

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