The patch was revealed during BYU football’s media day on June 23 during the State of the Program address.
Images of the patch began circulating around social media, and fans wanted to see it on more gear besides the coaches’ polos and players’ jerseys.

Holmoe added in another tweet that royalties from the merchandise will be split between BYU and one of LaVell’s favorite charities, the Boys and Girls Club of Utah County.
Thank you for giving fans the opportunity to honor LaVell Edwards too. Glad that the royalties will be shared with the boys and girls club.
