mafiaman Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 If not for the teeny tiny ARIZONA STATE on the front, I'd have absolutely no clue who that jersey belonged to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Jeez... so much for school colors! What's next? A red and silver Notre Dame alt!?!?Apart from the logos nothing about this says Arizona St. to me.It's more of a tribute to the colors of Arizona history. Copper is one of the 5 C's of Arizona(Copper, Citrus, Climate, Cotton and Cattle) with Anthracite being used with the copper to honor the history. Besides the fact that when ASU rebranded, copper was incorporated as a accent color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A red and silver Notre Dame alt!?!?Apart from the logos nothing about this says Arizona St. to me.Well, we all know that college football recruits aren't exactly wow'd by the college campus itself or academic opportunities. What really get 'em hooked to the program is a snazzy anthracite jersey and a chrome helmet!Oh I know it's all about recruiting, marketing, and merchandising. I just hate the way nike, adidas, etc. have destroyed so much great tradition over the past couple years. If I were a university AD I would stop wasting money on 40 uniform/helmet combos and put it somewhere that would actually benefit the university. Perhaps maybe even raising the "allowances" they give to student-athletes and helping these kids who work so hard doing the thing they love while also working on their careers for the future. And don't give me that "football is what brings in the money". Yes, I know that, I live in a college town. Just one of my many gripes about actually living in, not going to, Columbia, Missouri. Just hate how many students have no respect for our town, but that's for another day. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

My post was thick with sarcasm...you're preaching to the choir. College football will be officially dead to me when in 5-7 years, the next trendy color combination of "vampire-killer grey" and "metallic-yet-matte chome hazy anthracitic-scarlet" is introduced and some moron at Adidas, UA, or Nike convinces Michigan that they need that in their uniform scheme as a third jersey. Oh yea, let's not forget 17 new helmet styles, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Last year I told myself I'd just stop looking at the NCAA football threads, but I just can't help myself. Its the same impulse that makes me slow down at an accident on the freeway, I suppose.Thanks to a vicious combination of manufacturer's one-up-manship, and an embarrassing pandering to the tastes of 17 year olds, college football has, by an incredibly significant margin, the worst uniforms of any major college or pro sports in America. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Arizona State did the whole copper thing so much better than Arizona...I don't really hate these, but I actually like them. They're a bit different, but these are nice. I just don't think that they were worth all the hype of the reveal. "I believe in Auburn and love it!"

Arizona added copper because ASU added Copper to their scheme. It's just ASU is now bringing in the copper now into the football side of things. ASU did it first initially.

elliott Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Wow college football is crazy this year. Every team has a gray or chrome alternate. Nasty.Yeah, just like someone said a couple pages back, it's pretty funny to think of all of these a-traditional programs who's marketing team (or whoever handles this type of stuff) had the "genius idea" a few months back to add chrome or numbers to one side of the helmet (or both)... "We will be so cutting edge!!!!"And then everyone does it.Thankfully there's still a bit of class in the uniform landscape among new unveils. Illinois, Washington, and FSU immediately come to mind.

I didn't like how Nike ended up using that template with like 10 other schools, but it actually worked for ArizonaThese are pretty bad, speaking of copperNot sure if it's been mentioned in this thread, but they got rid of the gradiented numbers at least...

kewp80 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 https://commguide.asu.edu/standards/color-paletteUnless they're passing off PANTONE 1505 as copper then I see nothing resembling the copper used in those uniforms and anything in the schools official color palette. They already have a beautiful and unique color scheme. No need to muck everything up and confuse everybody. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

BrandMooreArt Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 i like the ASU alternate enough. it is what an alternate is supposed to be and the execution in the details is passable, the only thing i kind of have an issue with is the gradient on the numbers. i dont mind the lack of school colors at all, but i think copper would make an excellent addition to their current red and yellow GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoPeay Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I really like the helmet. The rest of it sucks. And the best thing about the helmet is that the logos are on both sides. None of that number on one side, logo on the other crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailstateunis Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The gradient numbers really mess up the Arizona State uni. Not bad otherwise. Love the helmet.Replacing the anthracite with maroon wouldn't hurt, either. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
