LAS VEGAS — The Arizona Wildcats will don new alternate helmets during the program's inaugural season in the Big 12.
On Day 1 of the 2024 Big 12 football Media Days at Allegiant Stadium Tuesday, Arizona revealed via social media a white helmet that will feature a cursive "Cats" decal in red font — the same logo that's currently on the hip of the team's game pants. The helmet also has a chrome-red face mask and a red, white and blue decal down the crown of the helmet.
The Wildcats will continue to wear its traditional "Desert Swarm" white helmets with a navy blue face mask and a block "A" decal for most games.
It is believed Arizona's alternate helmets are the first ones without some form of the block "A" since its cursive "UA" look in the mid-1970s, when Arizona was a part of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
Arizona kicks off the 2024 season against New Mexico at Arizona Stadium on Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
