All the uniforms are pretty good. Not a fan of the white helmet.

I am generally not a fan of the white helmets either. I will reserve judgement until I see the decal.

As Satt said yesterday, it's about the student athletes. They like it and wanted to do something different. Can't really blame them. This is the trend in FBS football, of course there are exceptions. He did say that that "they better play well or else they won't wear them again." I originally fought this as well, however, I really like the look of all white including and b/c of the white helmet.

White helmets may serve us well in warmer climates. Say we were playing ECU at high noon again, or at LSU, where they insist on wearing white uniforms at home. I'm for anything that might give us a lift, no matter how small.

Could the white helmets be adorned with an oversized Yosef logo (similar to what Boise does with their huge Bronco logo on some of theirs)? hmm

Bugs. especially white with the dark visor.stripes on sleeves does give a bit of retro look. I've always thought gold outline of numbers look good. I like the sleeves are consistent on each jersey and hopefully will see Yosef on a helmet.It will be fun to see each combination take the field.I'm not a huge fan but I am a fan of ASU so these look good to me.

Cool looks. If these are all of the combinations we will use this year, then I guess no "all gold". The all white must have replaced it as the special home uni for the season. Like the white helmet with the all white. Also like the consistent sleeve design across all jerseys. The stripped sleeve stands out more against the white jersey (only one that brought to mind bumblebee for me); however, it ties in nicely with the black pants. I prefer the pictured combo of white jersey over black pants as opposed to white jersey over gold.

I can see the retro idea with the striped sleeves (initially somewhat reminded me of a certain pro team in PA, though I know the stripe pattern is very different - sure this is NOT what we were going for - strike that, mind playing tricks on me!)
