As long as it's early 80's royal and not the "powder blue" royal that was worn
a few years ago.
I'm glad they darkened it up the last couple of years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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