I know I may be vilified for not starting a post that has nothing to do with the B12 or Heaps, but I would like to point out how much I like the black socks with the black cleats. Looks super cool. Generally BYU has not changed their uniforms in the past 7 years. This was a small change that I really like. In fact, I wouldn't mind them infusing more black into the uniforms like they did in 1998. Anyway, that is all...I like the sox...

I didn't know you were such a fashionista 'poke ;) :lol:

I'm not really a fan of the black socks--I'd like to see BYU go with classic, old-school striped socks like the Bears, Redskins, Chiefs, Jets, and Colts often wear.

does anyone else think that the gray undershirts sticking out from under the jerseys is sloppy? I know the story behind it and think it is great and all, but can we get something a bit more tailored for game day? It just looks awful! Also someone needs to get something for Bronco that looks a bit sharper but still says band of brothers or would that take away from the unity factor?

I hate seeing the grey shirts sticking out of the back of the uniforms. Also I'd like to see Bronco looking more like the head coach then a high school gym teacher.

They should consult Riley Nelson on this matter as he doesn't show any of the gray stuff, just abs and biceps.

I love the t-shirt look for Bronco, but to each his own.



And add me to the group that thinks that black shoes would be a nice touch...

I am surprised Bronco hasn't done a ceremonial undershirt that can only be worn when earned by the defense. I know Nebraska has its "Black shirt" tradition. Bronco is very into that kind of thing. In terms of style and since I have been nominated as the fashion expert, I would agree that the grey t-shirts don't look that great. Bronco can wear what he wants as long as we win.

Fuhget 'bout the teams grey undershirts. Can we get Bronco to wear a collared shirt? I understand the "Band of Brothers" mottoo - Bronco likes to wear that. I agree. But, he looks like crap representing the Y on national TV.



So - how about we take up a collection here @ Cougar Corner - and get a nice, sideline, collared Coach shirt with "Band of Brothers" on the back. Hawking could hook us up!

I'm sure Bronco's bound by the BYU-Nike contract to wear Nike apparel on the sidelines--that means Nike should be able to hook Bronco up a nice sweat-wicking Cole Haan-branded suit and tie. Why stop at a collared shirt...

I'm just totally amazed that anyone out there would even notice the color of the players' socks! That's just one item that would never ever cross my radar in a hundred years. Kinda like my wife going grocery shopping and stopping to look at the various types of non-stick cooking spray to get the right one. WTF. It's grease. Grab the cheapest and let's move on! They're socks. Socks. The fact that anyone would ever notice has me completely bewildered. So, Cougarpoke, one of the two of us is really off-center here. Odds are it's me (or so says that lady who looks at cooking sprays).

Sorry, I think the black socks look really dumb. I thought they were ankle braces when I first saw them.



I come from the Jerry Rice school of thought. You dress for success. If you look sloppy, you play sloppy. If you look sharp, you play sharp. So, I don't like the gray shirts either.



If you don't have an eye for detail, the first place it shows is in how you look, then it shows in your game plan. It is a bad omen to not look good when you walk on the field. I knew we were in trouble in Texas when the Cougars came out in all whites. You don't wear all white when the team you are playing is wearing mostly white. As long as the team is sloppily dressed it tells me that other details have been missed as well.



Besides, black may work with powder blue or light royal but it doesn't work with navy.



Speaking of blue, why can't they get the blue right. The royal they used two years ago was way lighter than the royal of old. The problem with navy is that unless you have perfect lighting it looks black. If we are going to be about exposure, then let's do it right. Win games and do it looking sharp on ESPN.



Look sloppy = play sloppy. Look sharp = We are considering every detail to be sharp and play sharp and it shows. That is why the pros look the way they do.

If you look at my post just before this last post, take what I stated there, multiply it by ten, you will see the almost exponential growth of my wonderment.



Years ago I would get into that "dress for success" crapola. And more power to those who do. But now that I am 62 awesome years old, I don't feel the need to impress the snot out of anyone at all. I dress for comfort and quite frankly don't care what anyone says or thinks about me. Maybe that's why I've had a hard hard life with little, if any , success. I mean, I'm low enough to think urroner is pretty cool.

Along these lines are why I like Bronco's gray tshirt. He could really demonstrate that we're a different school by... Dressing like everybody else?

He could try the Jim Tressel look - be more like a band director at the high school level than a college football coach.

Wow, I know the only subjects right now are 'Bench Jake Heaps' and 'BYU to Big XII,' but really? The clothes that coaches are wearing? If Bronco changes his shirt and the guys tuck in their gray shirts then we'll play better? If we wear stripety socks and black shoes we'll run faster and jump higher? Whatever makes a player or coach the most comfortable and ready to focus, that's what they should wear.

Bronco wore a collared shirt for one game this year. 54 to 10. Any questions?
