Bear Down Wildcats

Just saw the interview with the equipment manager and some of the posts that were making fun. I'm all good with busting chops but I have a certain respect for folks that are role players and are doing their best in that role. This society is all about being a big shot but the art of being of good role player is just lost. I've done ok with my career choices but if I had it all to do over, I would love to work in the Arizona athletic department. Got a chance to run out with the team for the OSU game and I could see how everyone behind the scenes is pulling the rope in the same direction. Good to see.

Back to uniforms, I love that we are continually trying to mix things up with the uniforms even though I can't wait till we get rid of the purple sleeves. I hope we keep progressing with modern designs but I think we need one "throwback" uniform that we come back to once a year, maybe for homecoming. If you had to choose the one definitive "throwback uniform," which would it be? Use pics if you can.

This would be my pick.

As someone who busted his chops I'm glad hes our equipment manager, he's very passionate about his job. I have great respect for someone that puts that much enthusiasm into their work.

I'm just saying he should embrace his lack of follicles and get it over with.

That and the interviewer wasn't terribly good, but everyone needs practice.

Colorado 17 Oct 2015 Red, red, blue.



Washington St. 24 Oct 2015 Red, blue, blue.

There can be only one. (Of course, without the old giant shoulder pads.)

That's the combo we need for homecoming. W/B/W

YES

Red-Blue-Blue just announced.

Only worn red blue blue once before. Last years home win over Colorado.

Hear we're going all white since Washington is going all black.

Another opponent in all black.....

Other than USC I believe we're the only other team in the PAC not embracing all black unis. I get it, not in our color scheme, but I do think it would be sweet.

No black. Red, white, and blue, and sometimes copper. That's all I'm good with. Love the colors of our country and our university. No need to go all ASU and start piling up a whole new color scheme for no good apparent reason.

On a different note, why didn't we wear White for a midday kickoff at home against WSU? Would have seemed like the better choice in the hot weather and the sun beating down on them than the red-blue-blue unis.

Ogre's right. Red, white, and blue with no gradients.

Not sold on the copper tops, but I would love to see a homecoming in sage and silver.

I hope they don't ever do black uniforms. Those have been done to death around the country and it wouldn't be a good look for AZ.

I'm waiting for the tan/beige uniform craze to hit the country now that grey and silver and black have

I would just like to see what it would look like? All black with a big white block "A" on the helmet or go with the red. I can't imagine it would be any worse than some of our gradient color schemes.

Whomever at Nike came up with that lame gradient color scheme has one Hell of a sense of humor.

We need to give this dude the contract to design our helmets. Love the wildcat logo, need to use that more.

I'm not really big on those. As a concept they look cool but in motion they'd be ridiculously visually noisy. Simple is often better.

We are 2 - 5 in all white. So we have that going for us.

Love these. Even if the Cat logo isn't in the center I'd love the wider stripe look. This guy has talent. Wouldn't mind using him.

Remember, this stuff is for the kids they recruit, not for us fans.

Also, I hate any teams all white uniforms, just not a fan.

I blame the horrible performance of the defense on the ugly uniforms.

Blue/White/Blue??

so... blue / blue / blue ?

Supposed to be a blue out.

Blue lids for the blue out.

Remember to blue yourself early so you're nice and relaxed for gametime.

We're 8-4 in all blue and have won 8 of the last 9 in all blue.

Just noticed that the last time we played Utah in Tucson (2013) we wore all blue.

Here are the uniform combos from the last 3 games.

Washington 31 Oct 2015 All Whites



USC 7 Nov 2015 Blue, white, blue



Utah 14 Nov 2015 Blue out

I'd like us to try home colors vs home colors like USC/UCLA.

I'd like that as well but you'd have to have the right color setup. A problem with AZ/ASU is that the uniform colors are pretty close as far as the brightness (not much) of the colors. If ASU wore black and Arizona red it could work. If it was maroon vs. blue it might make it hard for QBs to distinguish receivers on the fly. USC/UCLA and Oregon/Oregon St. work because the colors are so much more contrasting.

Nothing wrong if Asu wore maroon and we wore red.

Pretty sure they're wearing Addidas version of last year's "Desert Hammer" uniform that they used against Notre Dame.

I like how Tempe's combos (all of adidas for that matter) have to have cute names. Its like they are selling perfume.

I don't know about that. In the full sun those maroon unis would look lighter. Try to pick out your receivers vs. their corners with everyone moving so fast.

I'd like to see ASSu in their traditional G/M/G and us in W/B/W.

And throwbacks on both.

Bright cardinalbrrr and dried blood maroon are pretty different.

God damnit.

Long as we don't repeat the UCLA game

ASUHATER! wrote:Long as we don't repeat the UCLA game

I fear the spirit of the UCLA game is trapped in those helmets

Nope, good choice. We are ready to unload

would love a Red White Red or a Red Red White. I don't think we can be dark color on the road though for our tops.

Red White Red would be fine with me.

Red/White/Blue
