I could understand it if we are channeling Taysom's domination the last time we visited Austin, but if that is the case why not a white helmet?

    I understand the players and the young people in general like the crazy combos so they aren't going away. But could we have maybe half the games be standard classic home/away royal combos and the other half be for adventures? I don't even know what our "official" uniform is at this point.
    Doesn't your arm get tired, shaking it around in the air like that?

      Yes. And my fist from clenching. And my voice from yelling at you to get off my lawn.

        I kinda agree. And I don't think that your comment came off as an angry old man. Being a European football fan, I've had the idea that teams should just stick with three uniform combos per season: home, away, and a special 3rd for when the other colors clash too much with the opponnent or for special games like rivals or neutral site games. I'd be down for that. A different uni every game just feels a little silly to me.

          Texans new uniforms. Not too shabby! I wish they could get rights to the Oilers uniforms, which were pretty much perfect.

            Broncos new uniforms are tough. Perfect for a QB career resurrection.

              Lions black uniforms are fantastic. Love the blue helmet with the black lion.

                      Denver calls itself the Mile High City because it is exactly 1 mile (5280 ft) above sea level.

                        Number of starting QBs since Manning retired.

                            Actually, this sounds more believable.

                              I like the idea of a 1996 throwback uniform, but as is typical with byu football uniforms recently, they got overzealous and missed the mark. First, all whites at home always has been and always will be stupid. Second, we wore the all white 1996 unis once that season...against Washington...which was our only loss...soooo....

                              Anyway I try not to shout at clouds so much but we need to take control back from the 12 year old who is currently in charge of football uniforms. The variety is fun and I'm fine with changing it up but an alternate uni doesn't mean anything if there is no base home/away. How about we compromise and give the 12 year old free reign for 6 games and do traditional home/away royals with white helmets for the other 6 games?
