PROVO, Utah – The BYU football team won’t be the only ones wearing throwback uniforms on Saturday night against No. 13 Kansas State.
Along with the football squad, BYU cheerleaders are getting into the throwback spirit.
In conjunction with the football team wearing throwback uniforms from the 1996 season, the BYU cheer team will wear throwback cheer uniforms from what they wore during the Cotton Bowl in 1996.

The Cotton Bowl, which capped off BYU’s magical 14-1 season, was the last time BYU faced Kansas State in football.
You can see video of BYU’s cheer outfits from the 1996 season below.
The only difference is that the 1996 versions had blue skirts for the female cheerleaders, while Saturday night’s throwbacks are royal blue.
