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? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First time I saw another team (that wasn't the Avalanche) wear that font was San Diego State in very early 2000s. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A corporate office towering over a pier? I can see why that didn't work out. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was imagining it like the pic was taken from an office building in the ocean. Swing and a miss be me I guess. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SportsLogos.Net News 615 Posted February 26 Michigan State Spartans Unveil Script “State” Helmets February 26, 2021 - 21:24 PMThe Michigan State football program on Friday morning unveiled a new helmet option that pulls inspiration from the uniforms worn by the men’s basketball team on their way to the 1979 national championship. The white helmets – which head coach Mel Tucker said were supposed to be worn at Maryland Read More... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdukie 47 Posted February 26 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. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 10,078 Posted February 27 Yeah that decal is way too small for that helmet. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSmith48 759 Posted March 1 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cajunaggie08 671 Posted March 1 I wish BYU would decide if they were a royal or navy blue school. 20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 10,078 Posted March 1 Man they look so good in royal. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormMacdonald 788 Posted March 1 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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnWis97 4,696 Posted March 1 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. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MNtwins3 322 Posted March 1 Can they just commit to the royal already? Having two different versions of the exact same uniform is not a good look 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guest23 1,612 Posted March 2 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. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
