AJM Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Potential new ASU helmet for 2015...I've seen it in person, but didn't have my phone on me. Here's a pic that started circulating.

MJWalker45 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It will match their GFGS uniforms from last year. Too bad they switched to adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunyan Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I actually like this helmet with that copper look. But yeah too bad they switched to adidas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest23 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I guess I'm the only one that thinks copper/gray/white is inferior to maroon/yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunyan Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Didn't see where anybody was comparing the two but ok. And the Sparky helmet is by far the best helmet they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Desert Fuel is a top 5 Nike pro combat Alt. If I were in charge id Wear that for one game a year and Maroon and Yellow with Sparky helmet for the rest. Hope Adidas can realize this too. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure asu concocted the whole uniform and nike had nothing to do with it. It was just a recolor that was likely ordered by asu staff. To me it just does not stand out as a design that nike would promote as a one off but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 ASU's Desert Fuel uniforms are one of my favorite sets ever. It should only be used once a season for their biggest game of the year, though. I'm scared of what Adidas might do, but I'm also really intreagued that they seem willing to keep the desert fuel set in some capacity.

MJWalker45 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I guess I'm the only one that thinks copper/gray/white is inferior to maroon/yellow.Maroon and yellow is superior, but Arizona State has muddled up their look since the rebrand. If they ditched the black and bowling ball helmets they'd improve tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there's nothing proprietary regarding the desert fuel uniform (it's a color scheme), if the school wants to keep it they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our normal uniforms are near perfect with maybe a small gripe for the way the TechFit template stretches some players' sleeve stripes. But that's relatively minor and you'll have those little inconveniences with any supplier.That being said, however, adidas' track record of horrific alternate uniform design is really pushing me to prefer Nike or UA. Most of what they churn out looks like a kid who downloaded a Fraser Davidson concept and hacked it up in Paint. There are like 2 bad ass elements in each adidas concept, but they never overcome the 17 other things that are blatantly stupid about the design.So, since my school rocks a traditional design I see nothing that motivates me to stick with adidas. Nike or UA (heck, Russell!) could just as easily design the classic stripe look and they'd certainly offer more compelling alternates. adidas' alternates have such a flamboyant, metrosexual douchbaggery about them. It's almost like they got their start designing soccer uniforms or something. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

nicklas Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Stanford is making another change. It was already noted here that they are going with the tree in the S logo instead of just the block S, but they also have new athletics wordmarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who make the decisions really couldn't care less about uniform design. As long as the most $$$ possible is coming in then they are happy.

The revenue streams are more and more important, especially to cover the unplanned costs of coach buyouts, season ticket shortfalls etc. It's almost as if these athletic departments are being run like for profit business now.
