BYU has upped its uniform game — particularly in the helmet department — as the 2022 season hits the midway mark.

One week after the Cougars unveiled a royal blue and black gradient helmet to accompany a black-out uniform look for their matchup against Notre Dame, BYU has another new look for its game this Saturday against Arkansas.

Against the Razorbacks, the Cougars’ helmet will be royal blue, include a white face mask and incorporate the Y logo outlined in white from last week’s helmet.

Here’s the big twist, though — these custom helmets will include a cougar head painted on one side, with a mountainside underneath the Y logo on the other side.

The rest of the BYU uniform will be a white jersey top and white pants, with royal blue trim.

The Cougars play Arkansas at 1:30 p.m. MDT on Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
