A new look at Arizona’s copper helmet

Jun 29, 2012, 4:57 PM | Updated: 6:27 pm

Not long ago the Arizona Wildcats announced they’d be
wearing a new copper helmet, a move that was met with as
much curiosity as fanfare.

Well, now we have a better look at what the dome will look
like, as Arizona AD Greg Byrne posted a photo during an
online chat with Wildcats fans Friday.

It’s important to note that copper is not exactly part of
Arizona’s normal color scheme, but the addition is meant to
honor Arizona’s history in mining of the mineral.
