StPaulHusker Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I do like ASU's kits, but they are their normal uniforms, not alternates. If Nebraska changed up their traditional kits similar to ASU, there would be mutiny. With an alternate, I think you push the envelope and set it apart from the traditional everyday uniform. On a scale of simplicity and tradition: Nebraska --- three ASU kits mentioned above --- 2015 Nebraska alternate. I wouldn't want Nebraska's traditional uniform or their alternates to skew towards the middle of that scale and be like ASU, while I do find them nice. I guess there are some traditions worth holding and some not. Personally, the uniforms aren't worth holding on to. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think our traditional home/away kits are iconic and shouldn't be messed with (too much). Quote Link to comment
icedavis Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I didn't realize that ASU had the permanent tribute to Pat Tillman on the unis so when I saw the PT*42 on the bumper of the helmets, I googled it and then found this extra bit. This is really cool. They updated in 2013 (so obviously this is old news) but I didn't see it till now and thought I would share for those that may not have seen it yet. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/arizona-state-footballs-inspiring-pat-tillman-tunnel-will-gi#.iaKKwlkEO When Arizona State takes the field at Sun Devil stadium this season, they’ll be led out of the tunnel by Pat Tillman. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Those look good. Good job by Adidas, but again, they're essentially keeping a uniform design that has already existed. Still have no idea what Adidas is thinking with those undershirts, though. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Still have no idea what Adidas is thinking with those undershirts, though. Yeah. WTF does 'break the rock' mean? Quote Link to comment

WTF does 'break the rock' mean? http://dieharddevil.com/articles/hammertime-the-complete-story-behind-the-new-sun-devil-sledgehammer/ By now, you may have seen or heard about the new Sun Devil Hammer used by the Arizona State football team. On game day, the players carry it off the bus, through the Devil Walk and into the locker room before battle. When game time arrives, a chosen player gets to wield the hammer and lead the team out of Tillman Tunnel. The team also takes it on the road. It has become a symbol of Sun Devil Strength. The hammer breaks rocks when the Devils emerge victorious on Game days. Specifically, it crushes a designated rock for each opponent. The goal each year is to break twelve rocks, a symbol of perfection. It’s one of the latest ideas to have materialized in the new culture that Coach Todd Graham has created at ASU. 2 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Those are cool. Maryland/Under Armour have really found a way to make that state flag thing work well. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Dang I really love those Notre Dame jerseys too. Under Armour has established itself easily as my favorite apparel provider as far as uniforms go. Quote Link to comment
