these posts are getting tired. Royal and Navy sells more merch. Get over it.

Why limit options? Honest question. There's no reason to limit yourself here

Alpi Gusto

Why not neon orange then? We can have an Edm-out. Certainly wouldn’t be limited

CougieMcCougFace

A color is not a brand

Alpi Gusto

9/27/21 5:44pm

It is a key element of branding

CougieMcCougFace

9/27/21 6:41pm

Totally the same thing, huh?

SoCalCoug

9/27/21 5:58pm

So options should sometimes be limited?

CougieMcCougFace

9/27/21 6:42pm

That is a straw man argument. Nobody here is claiming the whole color palette

SoCalCoug

Imagine Texas tried another shade of orange.

Bill Moore Esq

9/27/21 5:44pm

This isn't a situation where BYU adds a new color; we've been navy for 20 years. I'm not suggesting we add every color

Alpi Gusto

9/27/21 5:46pm

Royal is much more dynamic, has more character, looks better in the crowd.

Bill Moore Esq

9/27/21 5:50pm

BYU has historically had both Navy and Royal uniforms dating backore than 50

Perseguir

9/27/21 5:53pm

Royal blue during the prime days

Bill Moore Esq

Ah yes, the iconic navy blue jerseys of the 60s. Who could forget?

MHallDidNothingWrong

9/27/21 7:52pm

But we need to have a main one. Doesn’t feel like we do

ColonelMustard

9/27/21 9:42pm

Exactly, add sky blue and turquoise.

CougarTwins

9/27/21 5:44pm

Lots of options can be used with Royal as the primary color

Navy confuses the BYU brand? So you're saying for the past twenty years, people were confused that BYU was wearing navy?

Alpi Gusto

9/27/21 5:55pm

It sounds like you don’t have a time horizon beyond the Navy period

Greg Kite's 'stache

9/27/21 6:03pm

Do you mean the "Bright Royal Blue" from the 70s & 80s or the "New Royal Blue"

greentruth

9/28/21 2:13pm

Because we aren't Utah State. Have an identity.

If only there was some sort of image that would help people identify us. Maybe a picture or letter?

EtTuKalante

TL;DR. Players like them and it helps draw recruits. Listen to the players.

Royal blue should be primary, with plenty of alternates, including navy. I'd

If we have to keep Navy, then Navy blue should be used 1 or 2 times tops, the entire season...

Coug

Especially at home. 3 home unis with Navy is way too many.

Captain Rex

Royal looks great in Football jerseys. Other sports aren’t bad in Navy

9/27/21 5:58pm

As long as it's early 80's royal and not the "powder blue" royal that was worn

CougarAndMerlin

What are we most successful in vs good competition? What does QB recognize easy?

Albuq_Coug

Does Bama use different shades of Crimson? Utah state is Navy. We are Royal!!!

The_Cuss

9/27/21 7:56pm

What would you rather do, get recruits or force them to wear one color?

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 8:10pm

I’m sorry but this take is clowning. BYU can have so many alt uniforms without

The_Cuss

9/27/21 8:20pm

You must be new to the board. You can check my poll above.

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 8:23pm

It’s not about alt. unis, everyone is for alternates It’s about 2 shades of blue

The_Cuss

9/27/21 8:52pm

That's quite a false dichotomy - strawman fallacy you've set up there.

BYUDM93

9/27/21 8:39pm

Well you should start with the understanding they don't pay for the uniforms.

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 8:48pm

Have a good evening.

BYUDM93

9/27/21 8:52pm

Capitalism. Used to be a good thing.

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 9:30pm

Again, no issue with alternates. Issue is 2 shades of blue. Makes no sense.

The_Cuss

9/27/21 9:40pm

It makes perfect sense. College sports serve two purposes. Competition and...

EtTuKalante

You can’t be serious. “We hire people and pay them lots of money” got us this…

The_Cuss

I already made that point. I get that I'm long-winded.

No one is trying to make you look bad. It just doesn’t make sense. But when

Just because it sells doesn’t mean it’s better. BYU sells pink shirts, should

The_Cuss

It really comes down to this. Anonymous internet posters think it's better.

Athletes (and many fans) seem to love Oregon's jerseys. So what's your point?

This is correct. We don't need to to look like the team in Ogden at all, ever.

TheLoneCougar

Machiavelli

9/27/21 10:06pm

Sounds like an identity crisis. When was the last time UCLA switched their color

The_Cuss

9/27/21 11:56pm

Alot. Actually.. Constantly tweeking shades between powder blue all the way to royal

zephyr

9/28/21 12:44am

Im sorry but you’re completely wrong. UCLA has one primary blue.

The_Cuss

9/28/21 7:55am

But zephyr's point that UCLA changes their blue every other year is still right

The Chelsea Dagger

9/28/21 8:54am

It’s a fact, they have one primary blue. That’s been the ENTIRE debate…

The_Cuss

9/28/21 8:56am

Here are some pictures that show you’re wrong

Alpi Gusto

9/28/21 9:01am

Pictures distort colors. Just go direct to the source: UCLA’s website….

The_Cuss

9/28/21 10:21am

There are literally 3 blues in the link you posted

Alpi Gusto

9/28/21 11:44am

You didn’t click on the link did you? There is 1 blue in their primary colors…

The_Cuss

It sounds like zephyr has the evidence to stop this debate. See below.

Albuq_Coug

9/28/21 3:14pm

I'm 100% correct. For 28years I've gotten their brand guides.

Keep both. We’ll appreciate royal more with navy in the mix. And vice versa.

The Navy tops are super classy. But they just don’t pop enough.

I say make royal the main and navy the alternate. As soon as navy was gone it would be missed.
