The Arizona Wildcatsβ new football uniforms have been revealed. If nothing else, they should end β or at least reduce β complaints about the numbers being difficult to read.
The latest set of UA uniforms from Nike features larger numbers, new stripes atop the shoulders and a blue helmet β one of four helmet options β with a red-and-blue Block A. The new-look Block A β sans white β appears in several places on the new uniforms. Itβs the first major change to the iconic logo since its inception in 1990.
Three sets of jerseys were unveiled Tuesday β blue with red numbers, red with blue numbers and white with blue numbers. All feature the new stripes on the shoulders. None have the unpopular gradient look.

Isn't anything better than the last uniforms? I like the matte helmets...

Huge upgrade. Love the matte blue helmet. Just wish the A was as big on all of their helmets. The Arizona across the back is clean

Can we please incinerate these? Who ever does our marketing with Nike should be fired

No way you can mess up our colors but someone managed to do it, I'm disappointed but maybe they look better in person π€·πΌββοΈ
