PROVO, Utah – When BYU football hosts Boise State on Saturday, October 9 at LaVell Edwards, the Cougars are going all-blue. A look that the Broncos typically wear.
BYU will wear all-navy uniforms against Boise State. It’s the first time since 2004 that BYU will don a navy blue helmet. BYU wore navy blue helmets with vegas tan decals from 1999-2004 before switching back to white helmets in 2005 when Bronco Mendenhall took over as head coach.

This is the sixth different uniform combination for BYU this season. BYU plans to wear a different uniform combination for each of its games in 2021.

BYU fans who are going to the game are being asked to wear navy blue for the matchup that is set to take place on network television.
