Arizona State football players hinted on social media that the uniforms the Sun Devils would be wearing in their season opener against Texas A&M would catch people’s attention.

The uniform manufacturer, Adidas unveiled the uniforms Thursday morning after offering a sneak peek on Wednesday night.

Adidas took over as the official apparel supplier for Arizona State athletics and unveiled the new Sun Devil football threads in late July.

The Desert Ice look features a white jersey with copper and black lettering and for the first time, ASU will be using an oversized copper pitchfork logo on the helmets.

From the ASU press release:

Developed in collaboration with Sun Devil Athletics, the new special edition uniform pays homage to the state’s nickname and identity as the “Copper State.” Inspired by the school’s iconic logo, the ‘Desert Ice’ design is centered around an oversized polished copper version of the pitchfork, which is highlighted with a metallic back outline and prominently featured on the helmet and pants.

Additionally, the jersey features a polished copper shoulder pad design that incorporates a pitchfork spike theme into the stripes. To complete the look, the helmet and jersey feature matching polished copper numbers with metallic black outlines. Providing form and function, the metallic numbers and stripes are laser cut and serrated, allowing for maximum ventilation and flexibility.

Nike unveiled the Desert Fuel uniforms last season that were worn against Notre Dame at Sun Devil Stadium, and introduced copper into Arizona State’s color palette for the first time.
