Crummy uniforms on Parade

[ponyte]

Seems there is an Uniform race. Much like the old arms race. Except the idea here isn’t to improve uniforms but to make them worse..

Here's the latest:

I like the design, I just wish they had stuck with the traditonal colors.

Great helmet, though.

Black... Arizona temperatures and sun... This seems like a good idea

Don't worry, it's a dry heat

I see the XFL has become inspiration for new uni schemes

Not a fan of the front collar, otherwise its fine I guess. Similar to our unis, I'm not sure when black entered their color scheme

My first thought as well

I don't see that. The helmet reminds me of Florida State, who I think has a great design, and for the most part the uiniform is simple. Nike has come out with far worse, IMO.

Again, I just hate that EVERYBODY now thinks they have to go to black, including apparently us. It's kind of like 10 years ago when everybody thought they had to go with a stripe-less helmet and we got just ugly helmets despite having possibly the coolest helmet logo in all of college football. Red and Gold (or yellow, whatever ASU's colors are) are solid colors, IF you put a little thought into it. Change the tones, that's fine, but don't completely redo the color scheme.

ASU Fight Song

Fight, Devils Down The Field
Fight With Your Might and Don't
Ever Yield
Long May Our Colors Outshine All
Others
Echo From The Buttes, Give 'Em
Hell Devils!
Cheer, Cheer For A-S-U
Fight For The Old Maroon
For it's Hail, Hail, The Gang's All
Here
And It's Onward to Victory!

(emphasis is mine)

Interesting uniforms... I think it works for ASU except for the all black

I like the pitchfork!... And the idea of Walt Disney being the "Devil" has always made sense. Check out Disney back when he was at the helm! Very dark! Snow White, Fantasia, Bambi, and the best of the best, Alice in Wonderland to name a few...

I agree, those black uniforms will be real nice at ASU in the early part of the season. Even if kickoffs are at 7:30, the sun will be out and it will be well over 100 degrees on the playing field. Maybe they will only wear the black uniforms to honor other Pac 10/12 opponents.

On another note, I never realized how much "Sparky" the Sun Devil looked like Walt Disney, but he does...
