The Arizona Wildcats' iconic cactus logo, a popular emblem that was a longtime feature on the basketball court at McKale Center, is now a decal for the UA football team.

Arizona will don its new helmets against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday, the UA announced on Thursday. The Wildcats' white helmets for Saturday will have the cactus logo along with the navy blue, red and white stripe decal down the crown of the helmet and red face masks. 

It's the third different helmet for Arizona this season. In addition to its traditional "Block A" helmet, the Wildcats have also worn metallic-red helmets with a "Cats" script decal; the UA has a white version of the script helmets. 

Arizona faces Colorado at Arizona Stadium on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Fox.
