BYU will be wearing its all-royal uniforms when the Cougars host No. 9 Baylor on Saturday.
There’s a twist, though, to the look that the football team’s social media account shared Monday.

While the Cougars’ helmet, jersey top and jersey bottom will all be royal blue, alongside white trim, this time, BYU’s facemask will be a nickel color — as seen in the promotional photos of the uniform.
The look was dubbed the “Royal Color Rush” on BYU social media accounts.
According to BYU Uniform Tracker, a social media account dedicated to BYU’s uniform combinations, this is the first time that BYU will use a nickel facemask with the all-royals.
