trekbkr Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 What also bothers me is that in the video (at the end) the pitchfork looks more like a trident.You haven't heard about the rebranding? Arizona State University Sun Neptunes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Rover Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah, this has been rumored for a while. They're going to switch to a pitchfork on the helmet a la Florida State's spear, and someone mentioned that there was an indication of the long-rumored black jersey in the video, but I didn't see it.Wow, major downgrade. The current helmets are borderline classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm actually not against this for a couple of reasons. For one, the current Arizona State Sun Devil logo is...well...controversial. I mean, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I hate when there is controversy with sports branding b/c of forced perceptions, but I understand the change I guess.Also, I wouldn't mind black. I thought I disliked the black when they added the trim, but I quickly got used to it, and now it doesn't even phase me. Burgundy, Gold, and Black can be a pretty darn good combination...and the color scheme would definitely separate them from USCExcept we're Maroon and Gold, it just seems like adding black for just adding it on like the Lions did a couple years ago. Nowhere in Tempe, West Phoenix or Downtown Phoenix do I ever see Black mixed with the Maroon and Gold. This is going to be a mistake.The helmet I don't mind. Maybe a new direction we need. Could be a big boost for the team who could have a good year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe ASU is just making sure that each state in the Pac12 has a school wearing black. Washington has the Huskies' BFBS, Oregon has both schools wearing black (though OSU is not BFBS), and Cali has Stanford with the BFBS. Utah and Colorado wear black too.It'll be nice when the BFBS trend dies. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

AJM Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm actually going to the event on Saturday, where I've heard rumors they'll be unveiling a new/renovated Sun Devil Stadium, new uniforms for football, new one piece suit for Sparky and a more aggressive funding campaign.I'll try to grab pictures. I'm really excited about this, but I don't know how I feel about a possible removal of Sparky from the helmet.Ditto, except I'll be there for work...I'm more excited about the stadium renovations, which are seriously overdue.I can't wait to see what they have in-store for the stadium either. Do you think they're going to go with a whole new stadium? Or is SDS just going get renovated?I suspect they're doing the same thing that we are and renovating. I don't think either school can afford a new stadium at this point.Renovations has been the word lately, although I know for a while there were rumors about building a new stadium but its nowhere near feasible. Paying for renovations will be difficult enough let alone an entirely new stadium.

WSU151 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe at the last minute they'll decide to scrap the black, and announce they are bringing back this beauty full-time: Smart is believing half of what you hear.

AJM Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 There are whispers and rumors flying around the offices...mostly about the unis, but also about Sun Devil Stadium, and a possible redesign of the Sparky mascot (mostly the body).

I've heard they are doing a year long renovation of SDS making the open part face towards the north to eliminate the corner that just gets brutal sun in day games.

Talking to someone I know that works closely with the Sun Devils has said that Sparky would get modified for the 21st century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I wish uniforms would stick to the college's school colors. To my knowledge, black isn't one of ASU's colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I wish uniforms would stick to the college's school colors. To my knowledge, black isn't one of ASU's colors.It's Nike. Asking them to stick to normality is like asking the Pope to renounce Catholicism.

tommytimp Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I suppose the fact that a point was made about how cool it was once upon a time that a not-Sparky logo was on the helmet is an indicator that the helmet's going to change...Personally I'd like to see a maroon helmet with the ASU. Might look a little too "Men of Troy," but why should Devil fans care?
