Over the last few years, BYU has introduced a lot of variety to its uniform lineup. It's been rare for BYU to wear the same combination twice in the same season. If BYU plans to unveil a throwback uniform, it would be the second throwback uniform used in the last five seasons. In 2019, BYU celebrated 150 years of college football with a white throwback jersey against Washington.

Many fans on X have wanted BYU to bring back a 1996 throwback uniform.
