We've traded the bibs for the onesies.

That might just be the image

Haha, yeah it’s just the image. XD

Love it.

Welp, time to purchase another $30 mini-helmet for my office!

BoiseBlue

I like it but put it in all royal please

LaVellIfIKnow

8/8/19 7:47pm

This is Royal...

Jkdotstow

8/8/19 7:49pm

That blue is too light to be royal. It's too soft.

777

8/8/19 7:53pm

Well it’s just a mock up. It will be normal BYU Royal.

That’s why I say it is close. I bet they use the standard BYU stripes.

Jkdotstow

8/8/19 7:50pm

Three I think is what what BYU does. One thick with two on the sides thinner

I would like it if they weren't all white. They look like long underwear.

fredgarvin

Kentucky? I don't like it.

777

8/8/19 7:51pm

I can go for that.

SoCalCoug

8/8/19 7:51pm

Like them except for the smaller number on the back

Gustav

8/8/19 7:52pm

What's the purpose of the Sailor Coug on the helmet?

Coug

8/8/19 7:53pm

It helps to designate which team any particular player is affiliated with.

cracka

8/8/19 7:54pm

Sailor coug looks sharp on that helmet.

Squirt

8/8/19 7:54pm

Sailor Coug is dumb. Not sure why it's a thing.

LifeLongLakerFan

8/8/19 7:55pm

I disagree...I love the sailor coug. I remember it being used frequently when I

Coug98

It's a mtn lion. What does it have to do with "sailing." I've never understood

Reference this post

Coug98

Its a thing because it’s a cool and old school alternate logo

Turnpike Lane

8/8/19 8:02pm

Its dumb and truly doesnt make sense.

Backcountry

8/8/19 8:07pm

Um it's a cougar and BYU's mascot is a cougar. What part doesn't make sense?

CougarCanuck76

8/8/19 8:23pm

Why is a kitten wearing a 1920s sailor hat? And what does it have to do with BYU

Backcountry

8/8/19 8:33pm

As others have said, it's a freshman cap. Lot's of schools use it

Schultz is back

8/8/19 8:44pm

Ok. Why is it called the sailor cap then? And why does calling it a freshman cap

Backcountry

8/8/19 8:49pm

They really should call it something like "retro coug."

rainorsnow

8/8/19 8:57pm

Uhm.... it's called "...retro.." a nod back in time to the good old days...

Michael McQuain

8/8/19 8:20pm

It’s not a sailor hat. It’s a freshman cap. Read a history book

YIsForBrigham

8/8/19 8:21pm

so do the freshman players have that helmet, and the upperclassmen where the Y

Wazzu’s is awful

Something about that state because Washington's is terrible too.

That Husky looks like it's been abused and downtrodden by ugly Californians.

It's a nostalgia thing, but yeah, totally ridiculous

MatthiasG

8/8/19 10:12pm

Same could be said about college athletics in general.

StalwartBraveTrue

Amen

HootnHoller

Board name makes sense. Educate yourself.

Mitty

8/9/19 10:45am

It’s cool,but IMO doesn’t belong on a helmet.

I don't understand what alternating caps and lowercase letters means.

Kugmo

8/9/19 2:40pm

It's actually traditionally called Freshman Writing.

Zooropa

Just do the opposite of the royals in white.

If the sailor coug ever makes it on one of our uniforms I will become a Utah fan

IdahoPotatoPicker92

8/8/19 8:29pm

I’d reconsider this post if I were you...

YIsForBrigham

8/8/19 8:31pm

You’re right, it’s extreme. But it does illustrate my opinion of the logo

IdahoPotatoPicker92

8/8/19 8:33pm

Right. But it’s almost definitely happening so better get on board now

YIsForBrigham

8/8/19 8:40pm

Why would he need to get on board? Many fans think the logo is dumb.

LifeLongLakerFan

8/8/19 10:05pm

Cause he doesn’t want to become a Ute fan

YIsForBrigham

8/8/19 10:10pm

Obviously I’m never going to do that, I was just expressing my distaste for that

IdahoPotatoPicker92

Doofenshmirtz

8/8/19 8:32pm

We lose another Idaho fan. You could have said Boise State rather than Utah & it wouldn't sting as much for you.

Real G Man

8/8/19 8:35pm

Well it is going to be on there, so start buying red.

Jkdotstow

8/8/19 8:38pm

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya on the way out!

Coug98

8/8/19 9:33pm

What's on the way out where the good Lord split him?

LifeLongLakerFan

8/8/19 10:07pm

So, you've endured a 4-9 season and losing 8 straight to our rivals, but this is

Kugmo

8/9/19 10:54am

No! No! No! BYU helmets have a Y, period.

dawgbite

8/8/19 9:46pm

Those are terrible. It's like they are wearing underwear

ryebrye

8/8/19 9:59pm

That’s some weird looking underwear.

PessimisticCB

8/8/19 11:32pm

Its magic even

DazeofBlue

Hard pass. That’s horrible.

Needs stripes on side of pants

Hmmmm. Not so sure.

sailor coug looks like silly coug on a helmet

mindzeYe

8/8/19 10:40pm

I sure dislike the girly sailor coug helmet

CougarThug

8/8/19 11:15pm

I hope the numbers on the back really aren't that stupid small. Looks terrible,

fredgarvin

8/9/19 12:16am

I like it

Jericho

8/9/19 12:30am

Reading the ridiculous 🔥 takes here confirms it

CougsinCa

8/9/19 12:58am

I actually think it’s the opposite. I’m over 40 and love the idea of these unis

Coug98

8/9/19 2:35am

This isnt a thing. Some random dude says Holmoe told him about uniforms

Shanebeezy

8/9/19 1:26am

You wanna put some money on that? I will right now.

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 7:28am

You also said royal helmets aren't happening, and there is evidence they exist

Shanebeezy

8/9/19 1:04pm

Tell me, why did holmoe tell you, and only you? No one else is saying anything.

Shanebeezy

8/9/19 1:06pm

I was at a Chamber event that he spoke at. Afterwards

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 1:14pm

You will have a “I told you so” opportunity

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 1:19pm

Oh I totally will, but I really won’t care to use it, because

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 1:31pm

I'll believe it when I see it. Not gonna believe every person who says they have

Shanebeezy

8/9/19 3:06pm

And you will. I think y’all need to learn to be a little more trusting. I get

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 3:31pm

A couple existed, but they were for BYU50 and they DO NOT

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 1:08pm

I hate that sissy looking logo....

blackshirts

8/9/19 7:15am

Solid royal pants would make this pretty dope

Beat_the_U

8/9/19 8:11am

Yes, blue pants this thing. I prefer the Y on the helmet, but if the sailor is

Benfica1

8/9/19 8:17am

I would bet that they will do their standard away Uni’s with Royal

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 8:27am

No chance this is corect.

jkarren777

8/9/19 9:48am

I literally said right in the description that this is just a mock up

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 10:10am

"this is what the new alternate uniforms will look like"

jkarren777

8/9/19 10:19am

That is beyond silly picky. Of course it is going to look like a standard BYU un

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 10:23am

Suck it up and deal with the blowback of a poorly worded post.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/9/19 12:16pm

Lol Ok I’ll suck it up and MORE on.

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 12:21pm

Touché.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/9/19 12:28pm

Haha, but I never was trying to use it as the ‘official’ version.

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 12:45pm

I don’t think what you are saying is what you think you are saying.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/9/19 1:35pm

Yeah a lot of people missed the point

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 10:20am

So why not just say, new Sailor Coug helmet and uniforms with Royal Blue?

jkarren777

8/9/19 10:24am

Dude, I straight up asked Tom Holmoe about these.

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 10:27am

He never said “most likely” he said most similar

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 12:35pm

Yes. Exactly! Haha, people man. smh...

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 10:24am

Yes, corect is incorrect

Croweater

8/9/19 10:14am

Where are the blackout uniforms that have been mentioned?

DazeofBlue

8/9/19 11:08am

No Blackouts. Not this season anyway. They have to reorder if they want to do t.

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 11:11am

I love shaking things up occasionally, but don't mess with the Y on the helmet

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 11:14am

Well better get used to it, because it’s happening, and a lot of people

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 11:38am

The players are excited about Sailor Coug? Doubt it.

LifeLongLakerFan

8/9/19 12:02pm

Not gonna lie to you that makes no sense. If the players didn’t like the sailor

Jkdotstow

8/9/19 12:08pm

It is after all, an alternate

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 12:22pm

I think they look awesome

ordinatuer

8/9/19 11:16am

Oh my the nashing of teeth on this one. Nothing wrong using for an alternate.
