My only issue is that I think the merchandise looks better in the darker blue… but it has been revealed unto me that royal blue is the only true and living color for the football uniforms. I suppose I really have no problem with that sort of disconnect.

Royal blue unis looked great.

Max Hall in this color is the epitome of class. Great guy…

Mike S,

The clothes make the man, right?

Geoff J,

If they would promise to break out the championship unis once a year I would be pleased. To me they look like the team that dominated the WAC forever.

Tim J.:
Those uniforms remind me of the Crowton years. They are ugly by association.

Makes sense, I suppose. Some people I know display basic human decency until they pull on their red hoodies and such.

It probably has something to do with the large screen font I’ve set as a result of my presbyopia, but to me the post reads in its entirety:

“Those who are sen­si­tive on this issue might not want to Royal Blue Looks Great The royal blue uni­forms are awe­some. The color of ch should scrap the dark blue and go back to the true Co”

Any chance of making some sort of adjustment that will make this intelligible?

I thought “Royal Blue” and “dark blue” both describe pretty much the same color–you know, like the color of the Kansas City Royals. But perhaps the true meaning of “Royal Blue” is made clear in the sealed portion of the post that has not yet come forth.

#15: “superiority of the one true color”

Going by words found in the Bible, red/reddish/redness = 64. If you include blood, which is also red (blood of Christ, etc.), there are 415 more. Blue/blueness only occurs 53.

So talking about superiority of the one true color when you’re talking about shades of blue is a bit misleading. Perhaps you should be talking about red anyway.

:-)

Mike S,

Are you suggesting that Christ was not royal? That he was not a blue blood? Insanity!

That aside, I should clarify. I am simply stating that I really liked BYU’s throw back colors and I think it was a huge mistake to change them. I’m talking completely in terms of BYU’s one true color, and I should have been more specific. I am not expressing a red vs. blue preference in this post.

We all know that the if the discussion were widened that cardinal would win.

Royal Blue is very nice. I know nothing of BYU football or football in general. Don’t care. But I do know a spiritually uplifting color when I see it.

I’m with Geoff J. on this — it never hurts to get a hefty dose of nostalgia when the old colors are pulled out but the navy blue looks much better.

Prefer the old blue as well.

We know, however, which color Christ will be wearing, when he returns. It won’t be blue.
(apologies for the sorta sacrilege)

queuno,

I have no idea what it is you are talking about, but I suggest you keep it on topic. This post is for discussion of the colorful controversy following the recent BYU v Utah football game in which BYU wore clearly splendid uniforms yet some people just can’t accept that BYU should always wear royal blue.

And yet Cosmo the mascot was wearing a navy blue colored arm band above his furry elbow, suggesting either his solidarity with the old colors, his rejection of the new, or that perhaps there will be further truth pertaining to this matter to be revealed in the future. Keep lookin to Cosmo for clues..

arj – Fine. I preferred the Crowton colors, and while I didn’t like his record, I preferred Crowton to the current coach. And my Max Hall comment was in reference to #6.

Royal blue seems so 70s/early 80s, and it should go away, unless you’re wearing a throwback.
