It was being reported that several Fresno State fans attempted to warn Boise State fans from attending Hawaii football games due to potential violence against them, however no incidents were reported by Boise State fans and many photographs from Hawaii-based publications covered incidents where Hawaii and Boise State fans were seen mingling together before and after their 2007 game. The rivalry still continues to be one that is anticipated by both sides and will continue beyond 2012 as Fresno State has announced that it will be moving to the Mountain West Conference

39–27 on November 23, 2007 to clinch that year's WAC championship outright, the Broncos had won the all of the contests between the two schools since Boise State became a conference member. The Warriors' all-time record against the Broncos is 3-8. Many of them have been very closely contested.

The rivalry will take a one-year break in 2011, when Boise State leaves the WAC for the MWC, before resuming in 2012 when Hawaii joins the MWC for football.

BYU

BYU had been regarded by many Hawaii residents to be the Warriors' biggest rival and most high-profile game. One of the reasons for the interest in games against BYU comes from the large Mormon population in Hawaii, especially on the island of Oahu

, and BYU's success in recruiting players from Hawaii (in addition, BYU has a sister school on Oahu). As well, both programs have many players of Polynesian descent. The rivalry with BYU has been largely one-sided, with the Cougars holding a 19–8–0 all-time advantage in the series and going 18–5 since 1972 when LaVell Edwards

The last meeting between the two teams was a 35–32 BYU victory at Provo in 2002. The rivalry has also been considered by some people to be one-sided in terms of emotion.

. The team's opponents who play at Hawaii each season are also allowed one more game than their normal limit. Since the Western Athletic Conference does not stage a conference championship game, Hawaii played eight games within its conference and five outside it through the 2010 season. In 2011, the Warriors will play seven conference games and six non-conference games as a result of Boise State's move to the MW. In 2012, when Hawaii joins the MW for football, that conference will have 10 football teams, but it will retain its current 8-game conference schedule through 2013.

Uniforms

The University of Hawaii Office of Intercollegiate Athletics has unveiled the designs for its new home and away uniforms for the 2008 football season. Head Coach Greg McMackin presented the uniforms at a press conference, Wednesday, March 5, 2008. This was the first public viewing of the uniforms, which were designed by Under Armour

Under Armour

Under Armour is an American sports clothing and accessories company. The company is a supplier of a wide range of sportswear and casual apparel mainly focusing on hi-tech sportswear for professional athletes...

, "Outfitter of UH Football."

UH and Under Armour signed an eight-year apparel, footwear, and marketing partnership that will provide UH with more than $4.1 million in cash and trade. Under Armour will supply the team with $2,424,000 in product for the student-athletes, coaches, and staff during the term of the agreement. Under Armour will also pay UH $1,680,000 in cash, including $1,140,000 in rights fees and a minimum of $540,000 in marketing support as a member of the UH Corporate Partner Program.
"Under Armour did a great job with the design of the new uniforms," head coach Greg McMackin said. "We wanted to add more green in the uniform and that went well with people around the community. So we'll have green sleeves for our home jerseys and green pants for our away ones. We'll also stick with the green helmets for both home and away games."
Some of the highlights of the 2008 uniform designs include:

Use of the UH green (PMS 3435) in both the home and away uniforms was a priority
The fabric on the jersey shoulders and sleeves has a tapa design.
Instead of "Warriors" above the numbers, the "Hawaii" brand is being used in order to provide greater university recognition. Also, the "Hawaii" text size is larger for great visibility.
The "H" brand is featured on the pants and above the player's name on the back of the jersey.
The distinctive UH tapa numbers are used on both uniforms.
Only UH's green helmet will be worn for both home and away games.
The silver road uniform, including the jerseys, pants, and helmet, will not be continued.

For 2009 they wear white pants when they are away and have eliminated the green pants. They also introduced a green alternate jersey worn with white pants.
