I wish they'd do something about the helmets. Either a new-age sleek design or just stick with white helmets. The red and blue helmets make the A look like some kind of awkward blotch on TV.

The Block A needs to be bigger. It seems so tiny on the helmets.

i don't get statements like these. you literally have no say or control over them and they are not for you. they are for the athletes and this is what the athletes want. we are never going back to the desert swarm look so people really need to just suck it up and get over this stuff about uniforms already. as long as we keep our school colors...that's all that really matters.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.

I'm not calling for the Desert Swarm uniform. I'm more than capable of saying the past is the past and I'm all for the future, but these uniforms are trash and bland. The athletes don't have any say in these uniforms either and apparently neither does our athletic department. Nike calls all the shots here. Take a look at our uniforms and compare them to other recent Nike uniforms just in the conference. When it comes to new good looks in our conference we're trailing behind ASU, Oregon State, and obviously Oregon. I was actually a fan of our uniforms last year outside of the boring/bland helmets. I literally have no idea why our numbers do not have white trimming around them on the colored uniforms. These look like my pop warner teams' uniforms. Low grade in every single way.
As far as school colors go, who knew purple was an Arizona color?
Only good looking uniform we have. I sincerely hope they're bringing back the stripes on the white helmets. They shouldn't have been taken off last year.

For the record, I have no problem with the uniform the athletes wear on the field. I like them. My problem is with the jersey that is meant for the fans not the players. It looks ridiculous with those sleeves being so much longer than the gradient.

Yeah, gradient numbers aside, I think this is the sharpest look too.
FWIW, I looked at pics I took from the LSFF open house year ago and the helmet with stripes were on the display then. The white uniform display looks the same (gradient # 13 for year) as azsports referring to in vid. But who knows...

Uhm you could literally make this statement about anything regarding UA athletics, so I suppose we should just shut up and not discuss anything, right? Dumb, dumb take, Hater.
If you don't like the discussion, then maybe you should avoid the thread, eh?
EDIT: for the record, the number font sucks. Looks like something from Tron.

The fan jerseys are ridiculous. The gradient happens, then goes away abruptly. How hard is it to blue the rest of the sleeve?

I'm not necessarily saying you can't discuss it. I'm just saying that in this discussion your opinion means nothing and it doesn't matter when it comes down to the reality of our uniforms.

Your opinion means nothing to 99% of things discussed here, so I expect we will see much less of your comments.

Isn't that kind of the definition of a message board? I mean if I actually had any impact on the outcome of this football season, I sure as hell wouldn't be here reading opinions. So what's your point? Stop posting about topics upon which we have no influence?
Reality check: you DO understand just how silly your premise sounds, right?

They look better without the number fade, and the shoulder gradient is so much better on the red and blue uniforms. The white it has that weird rainbow effect.

doesn't sound silly at all. just the endless years of whining and moaning and whining and bitching just gets aggravating. continue moaning all you want, but the uniforms aren't going to change. it's like the people that resisted the coming of the telegraph and trains and cars. the uniforms aren't going to go back to what they were 20 years ago so we gotta live with it.

Definitely better than last years, although that is some strange futuristic font for the numbers.
Certainly, they are better without the gradient, but the font is a huge negative. It says nothing of our uniform history. I would like to see what the basketball numbers, enlarged of course, would look like on the football tops.
The shoulders still have purple stripes. Purple! Get that nonsense out of here. Our colors are fantastic, no need to soil the look with a series of hideous shades between red and blue.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

I wish the people that did our new Basketball uniforms would take over and fix these. Sheesh.
Even a white outline would help. They are really hard to read unless it's a closeup.
Yes, the sleeves are horrific. They look pink and purple. They look especially bad close up. Unfortunately, you can't read the g'damn numbers unless they zoom in. These uniforms have been an epic fail for the last 2 years.
It isn't even a question.
The basketball uniforms are so good this year. Why can't we have both?
Damnit. I thought Syracuse had uglier uniforms than us, but then I saw pictures. They are similar, but they look better. Ours look like a generic, Walmart knock-off of Syracuse's unis. Freakin Syracuse!
