I figured as much as my ticket tells me to wear royal blue this week.


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)

It would be an awesome permanent change to make in the middle of an undefeated season. Mods would agree, that would be badass!!!

Agreed. I'm actually ok with the white or royal. White might be easier for people, and it did look AWESOME at the Virginia game. But either way would be better than Navy.

However, Navy probably works better late in the season when it's freezing cold outside. Not many people own white or royal cold weather gear.

On another note, why do I keep getting negative votes? Is it because my profile pic appears to be me peeing on the U? Nah, can't be that!

You mean you weren't peeing on the U?

Mixed feelings here, as I genuinely think the navy looks better. HOWEVER - before everyone starts in with their thumbs down: If we want to maintain a more unique look, the Royal Blue is the way to go. Bring it on.

By the way, my letter jacket is Royal Blue!

I always loved the royals more than anything else. It pops more than any other color we've tried and it is uniquely BYU. I don't know why more wouldn't clamor for this change.

If you handed me two of the same shirt but one was royal and one was navy blue, I'd choose the navy.

That said, I like the royal better as our uniform. Pops and it's unique.

The navy color clothing for many fans, though preferable, was at the time of change and is currently, at some level a form of an apologist and/or closet fan; and/or some attempt to seem more "business-like" and more conventional. If fans really wanted to show their true colors and wear that gear in public, they would not turn on Royal fan gear and pick out other Navy clothing if they like that so much.
On game day or even the day before, Go to Austin. Go to Manhatten Kansas. Go to Norman, and Stillwater and Lincoln, etc, etc. and you will see fans wearing gear, even if unconventional colors, because they love their team and their true colors.
It's time to slough off the apologists and the embarrassed and be loyal to royal, strong and true blue.
If royal were re-adopted how often would the color committee have a "NAVY-BLUE-OUT"? Exactly! Never! They would white out and black out!
