On Monday, the BYU football program revealed plans to commemorate the program’s 100th anniversary.
“BYU Athletics will provide fans with a variety of opportunities to celebrate and reminisce about the rich history and tradition of Cougar football,” the university stated in an official press release. Among the facts revealed, BYU hinted to a possible new uniform combination to be released at a later date.

BYU’s uniform lineup has become increasingly diverse in recent years. BYU has rarely used the same uniform combination twice in the same season. If BYU unveils a throwback uniform, it will be the second in the last five seasons. In 2019, BYU honored 150 years of collegiate football by wearing a white throwback jersey versus Washington.
Many fans on X have wanted BYU to bring back a 1996 throwback uniform.
Every home game this season will be a celebration of BYU football’s 100th season. The following is a schedule of events for home game activations in 2024.
