It’s pretty well known that Sitake isn’t a fan of the navy blue uniforms. He wanted to officially switch to royal blue, but the financial trouble came when BYU looked at the cost to change everything on campus from navy to royal.

So, royal was adopted as an official secondary color instead.

But navy wasn’t exactly featured, as the Cougars wore it in just three games this season (UCLA, Southern Utah and UMass). They primarily wore white, but sported the royal look against Utah and a blackout look against Utah State.

I’m not sure what type of options are available to the Cougars through Nike, but I would imagine there’s a lot on the table.

I know that many fans like the traditional look of sporting the same unis week in and week out, but different uniform combos go a long way in recruiting. Plus, there’s the old ‘look good, feel good, play good’ adage.

I’d love to see the royal come into play more often in 2017, plus the blackout look and maybe another alternate with a smoke gray (think these, only with royal blue).

Maybe white jerseys with royal blue accents are in play as well. I’m sure we’ll see something in 2017 to avoid the navy look. For that matter, there’s speculation that the Cougars will have something special for the bowl game on Dec. 21, but we’ll see.

Enjoy the holiday season and hopefully every BYU football fan will have these great presents to look forward to.
