Comments about ‘Utah Utes football: Utes to get new uniforms’

to the commentor at 12:53 pm - Who the freak cares about McMahon and what his degree was in?

Also, should we go back to more recent - BYU 2 Yewts 0.

The yewsts unis are ugly, and they'll field another crummy team again this year. I guess when you really don't have anything to cheer for, you might as well change the uniforms to at least give the fans something to look forward to this year. Regardless of what their uniforms look like, they'll finish in the middle of the MWC again this year and will get beat by BYU again.

Whatever happened to tradition? College sports is all about tradition, and the Utes have none. Unless you count fielding a mediocre team year in and year out, and then change the uniforms every few years.

Oh, there was that one year they had a really good team and beat a crappy Pitt team in the bowl game (had it been anybody else, the Yewts would have lost that game). Other than that, the utes have no tradition whatsoever at all.

Get over it man. As for the article, why is this news? Who cares?

Stupid Smack... Harline is still open. That's like bringing up the 34-31 smack.

Better to let the play of 2008 speak for itself! Those are days gone by.

It would take a lot for Ute's uniforms to be worse than one of the Cougar's incarnations! (Bibs?)

FOR ALL YOU BYU FANS, FOOTBALL DIDN'T START IN 1971.

Is it just me or does everyone just wanna run a mouse over BYU's helmets and click on their Y to see if it'll take ya to Yahoo??? You stole Utah St colors, The Y from Yale and little cliches from Utah. Get some imagination and be original. The Bibs were a start, ugly, but atleast it was your own Idea, and oh boy did it show.

I think it interesting that someone brought up the Powder Blue of the Chargers (Why powder blue? Jazz did the same dumb color too!).

Should the Utes go to something like "powder blue" they would end up with pink. Pink?

Hmmm... That would be interesting!

These uniforms are AWFUL! Really, is this the best they can come up with??? Yuck. SI recently named the Ute uniform as one of the ten worst uniforms in division one football. I guess we'll be topping that list again next year.

Love the new jerseys, but they should go old school. Under armour is by far better than nike, ask any athlete that has played anything the past 8 years or so since under armour has come out.

By the way byu fans THIS YEAR:
HARLINE WONT BE OPEN,
YOU WONT CONVERT A 4TH AND 18,
AND WONT GET LUCKY AGAIN!

Utah will freakin roll Michigan and roll the conference and go to their 2nd BCS game!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UTES!!!

You've got to be kidding......this is news????? Who cares???? Come Game day I hardly think it will matter....You people actually get all jollied up over a story about Uniforms......Get lives for goodness sake and quit reading the Deseret News if this is all that they can conjure up between the NCAA break.

Does this mean that their helmet colors will now match their uniform colors?

frank drebin, come on man now your hurting my feelings. like im really hurt. and seriously byu fans get a life.

all i have to say is why do they call it the Y? it makes absolutely no sense? the U, yes. the Y, no! the young is an awesome school.

They are an improvement which isn't saying much. I wish they would go black AND red. Now that might be a jersey I buy.

BORING!

wow....that is an animated picture of uniforms.....you cant really judge them yet.

Where to start? There are so many zoob comments to ridicule. However, is it worth it? Most zoobs (not byu fans as there is a big difference) would never understand the 'smack' anyway.
FYI -
* Records include all games, not just a select few.
* Don't denigrate other team uniforms when you had perhaps the worst football uniforms of all time - bibs.
* Don't engage in color smack as you stole aggie blue a few years back.
* If Harline is still open then we can say 34-31 times 2.
* 4th and 18 is trumped by 3-0 at your place
* OCC bragging is countered by your failures in bowl games while the Utes have not lost a bowl game in recent memory.
* Steve Young and Jim McMahon are trumped by the shear number of current Utes in the NFL including All-Pro Steve Smith and soon to be All-Pro Eric Weddle
Ok I'll stop now as I am closingn in on the 200 word limit.
GO UTES!!!

* 1984 MNC (enmphasize the 'mythical' part) over a 6-5 team is far less than an undefeated BSC bowl champion

New uniforms won't help the Utes beat the Cougs. I wonder if they will be on SIs 10 worst uniform lists.

the numbskull who brought up graduation rates. Are you talking football? because Utah is above BYU in that capacity, and another thing, BYU redshirts more athletes than Utah, which is a distinct advantage in the classroom.

I have to agree somewhat with andrewute1. The Harline 'line' needs to finally go away.
I can't remember the BYU fans converting a 4th and 18, though. I guess you are referring to the football team. And speaking of the BYU football team, I don't think they will be in a position to need to convert a long fourth down this year.

Lastly, if the BYU players get lucky could that possibly be an honor code violation?

The Cougars have never been lucky against the Utes. Sometimes magic happens. At least that's what they've been quoted as saying. I don't believe it though. I think they just plain out perform the teams they beat because they are loaded with two and three-star recruits and walk-ons.

Hopefully the Utes will not wear red jerseys with red pants. That runnin' red underwear look is just pathetic. Their helmets are nice looking though.
