I've found out about what it would take to make a BYU jersey. In short making a BYU jersey is somewhat complicated and more expensive, whereas making a cougarguard non-BYU jersey would be much easier.
He says a jersey or T-shirt that would be identified by the average person as a BYU thing, even if it doesn't mention BYU, would be a violation of trademark. So I said what if you had a t-shirt that said "cougarboard.com" and was blue and white and a had a picture of a cougar on it. He said if sold in Utah, that could be a violation, although they would not be likely to enforce it. He says "after all, who wants to buy a shirt with cougarboard.com on it?" LOL. He says they watch these "cougar" sites closely. Which probably means that obvious violations like "byuboard.com" get caught, but for borderline things, they probably don't see a great need to shut down their fans. Not productive. Esp. when there is no "action" for the university to take advantage of. I think the last thing BYU wants is for this site to become officially associated with it. Basically, the BYU jersey would mean starting a business or working with an existing business. The cougarguard jersey would just be ordering it from a custom jersey provider. |

Just my $0.02... If you go out and make a very BYU looking jersey those of us who are Ute oriented will probably not end up buying one.
If we could do something crypt or guard related without it looking like a BYU club jersey I would be far more inclined to wear one. |

if we do one, I'd like one with a bib and top coordinated kit.

But a blue cougar and a red owl....if NOT sold in Utah, might be ok, from the talk I had. If I showed that to someone in Texas they would be like "what the hell? the red goes with the cougar (houston cougars) and the blue goes with the owl (rice owls). There could be something specific to cougarguard that had no cougar logo on it, but I haven't thought of what that would be. |

Cost is not my primary concern. How cool it looks is.
I like Cryptonites or something more insiderish. Or Utes and Cougars in a Roman phalanx together bonded for a common battle.
