They wouldn’t want to go to a school that has Skechers as their shoe provider. They were a thing 20 years ago, for little kids. Now those kids are adults and remember what trash they were, and the kids going to college now refer to them as garbage. Are you trying to tell me that Skechers aren't cool?

First time I saw another team (that wasn't the Avalanche) wear that font was San Diego State in very early 2000s. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

That font was worn by pretty much every G5 team Russell had at that time. Kina like the Denver Broncos jersey being worn by every G5 Russell or Nike team.

Fun fact: The predecessor of sketchers was la gear which sponsored some nba players like kareem for a hot minute. The ethos of cheap knock offs of popular styles has existed since at least the late 80's. Another fun fact is that before they blew up as the shoe for people on a budget who don't care about shoes they arguably had some of the best corporate offices on the west coast right next to the manhattan beach pier with unreal ocean views...

A corporate office towering over a pier? I can see why that didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why they relocated to a bigger space. It was a tiny office about the size of a small condo complex. It's visible on the right hand side about 1/2 a block up on the right.

jdukie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This seems like a decent idea that is poorly executed. The script decal seems small and awkward given the helmet model. However, if this means there is a possibility of those horrid lime green alternate jerseys going away then I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSmith48 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 BYU introduced 2 new helmets, navy and royal blue, as part of their "updated football identity". Interesting route to go in here, but not surprising. The navy is a bit meh for me, but the royal blue helmet is a nice change of pace though. I still prefer the white as it is an integral part of BYU football history. This certainly an attempt to put themselves into the modern trend of mix and match. Apparently they now have 26(!) combos to choose from. I also expect to see much more monochrome/color rush looks with the new helmets as well.

cajunaggie08 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I wish BYU would decide if they were a royal or navy blue school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Man they look so good in royal. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Dual blue never looks good with royal as one of the blues (there are exceptions to everything and I'd love to see an example of it working). You need a dark blue, and a light blue to make it work. Royal is just too much in the middle so there isn't enough contrast and it just looks muddled. I hope they never mix and match the royal and navy elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 That royal blue helmet looks really nice on its own, though not with the color as head to toe. I'd rather they dump the navy set, and then swap the two helmets and pants. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

MNtwins3 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Can they just commit to the royal already? Having two different versions of the exact same uniform is not a good look Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it, mainly because I HATE the inverted oval-Y logo. The negative space created by the blue Y looks bad--I think it's because the Y tends to loose its shape against the white. Other than a home jersey with the collar logo, I own no BYU gear with the inverted-colors oval-Y logo. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 These new helmets do not add any value to their very fine aesthetic. As much as I prefer non white helmets teams that have sported a white lid for decades should not change for the sake of having more combinations.
