It’s the second time that BYU’s uniform features navy blue this season, but it’s the first with the navy blue top. In week two, BYU wore an all-white uniform with navy blue numbers and stripes and a navy blue helmet against SMU.
Saturday will be the fifth consecutive game in which BYU will wear a blue helmet. The previous four BYU donned their royal blue helmets, and on Saturday, they will wear navy blue lids on Senior Day.
Since bringing back navy blue helmets into the uniform identity in 2021, BYU is 3-4 in games wearing a navy blue helmet. From 1999 to 2004, BYU’s primary helmet was navy blue.
BYU football enters Saturday’s game against Houston with a 9-2 overall record and a 6-2 mark in Big 12 play. If BYU wins against Houston and Arizona State or Iowa State loses their respective games, BYU will clinch a berth in the Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington on December 7.
BYU is expected to honor 20 seniors in the final home game of the 2024 season.
