      Those do look like SDSU, but they are beautiful 🥹

      Unfortunate that we will probably lose in these…

        I don’t understand the downvotes here. He’s not saying he wants the Utes to lose, just that they likely will. After six straight losses, it’s hard to argue otherwise.

          Every time I hear “6 straight losses” I cant actually believe it.

      Those are some gorgeous helmets! I think we are going to win. Gut feeling. I have seen ISU play a few times this season and they will be one of the few teams we play that will not be faster than us at most positions (BYU being the other). I like our chances with a pumped up crowd and a healthy Isaac Wilson.

        I want to believe, but there’s not one area on offense that we are good at. Running? No, except maybe Iowa stat is really bad at run defense. Our RB is 220 ish graded at his position. Passing? All 3 QB’s are ranked below 300 in passing grades. I just don’t see it.

      They look nice. The curse of the interlocking UU continues.

        The helmets look really cool but I am glad to know I am not the only one who thinks the interlocking U’s is a curse. It might be the old, superstitious hockey player in me but the throwbacks just don’t seem to to work this year.

        When was the last time Utah won a game in the throwback uniforms?

        I have never been a big fan of the throwback uniforms. After the two Rose Bowl losses I think I stopped liking them completely.

          Firstly, I don’t believe in uni luck. I think the retro uni’s just simply look better than the over striped mess of our standard uni.
          That said, here’s the stats you crave. Utah’s last big win in the retro uni was against ranked Oregon State in 2022. The only other time we wore the retros that season was the Rose Bowl. Most previous seasons only saw the retros brought out once or twice

          This season we have worn the retros WAAAAY more than ever before.
          Here’s the record this season for every garment that has been claimed to be lucky or unlucky at some time in the last decade+

      They are amazing!

      While I can see why people think they look like SDSU, they look way more like Polynesian islander tattoos to me. SDSU usually as Aztec calendar type stuff.

      Nice…Hawaii should take a look at these helmets and incorporate something similar…

          Skittles….BTW, I saw them last Saturday in Logan. Close friend of mine is a Hawaii grad and was in town, so, why not? The Aggies blew their doors off and even Barnes got in on the action…

            I saw that he threw two passes for 4 yards and both went for TD’s. Were they running him in for RPO at the goal line?

              Yeah. was at the game as well because some friends invited me and clearly had special packages for him since he’s a real running threat and Petras is slow as dirt. Was fun to finally watch a win in person.

                Rick, based on what we saw last Saturday, if Utah played the Aggies this weekend, who do you think would win? Personally, I believe it would be a close run thing…

                  It could easily a close 10-7 type game if they were to play again. Utah state has a decent offense but their defense has been abysmal at times while Utah’s been quite the opposite.

                    abysmal is probably the nicest way to describe any defense that allowed 38 points to an Isaac Wilson led offense this season
