The Arizona Wildcats will debut a "battle gray" uniform for Military Appreciation Night, when the UA hosts Colorado on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. 

Arizona will debut all-gray uniforms to pay tribute to military members, when the Wildcats host Colorado at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. 

The "battle gray" threads have the same template as the Wildcats' current uniforms, with a red and blue stripe on the shoulders, but the navy blue numbers on the torso have a white trim, making it more visible than Arizona's non-white uniforms. 

Arizona will also have a Davis Monthan Air Force Base decal on the back of its blue helmets. 

This will be the second military-themed uniforms Arizona has worn in recent years. In 2016, the Wildcats wore USS Arizona-inspired uniforms, which was also gray but the pants were navy blue and the white helmet featured the UA logo from 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked. 

The Wildcats and Buffaloes kick off on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Arizona Stadium.
