Arizona State unveils another alternate uniform (Photos)
Arizona State may not be playing very well this season, but at least it has cool uniforms!
Two days after a 42-14 home loss to USC, the Sun Devils unveiled yet another new uniform – an alternate look called “Be the Hammer.” The uniform is “centered around a steel gray color scheme” and is “accentuated with polished copper detailing, which pays homage to (Arizona’s) nickname and recognition as the ‘Copper State.’”

According to a release from the program, the new Adidas combination is “inspired by the team’s tradition of using a sledge hammer emblazoned with the pitchfork to break a rock after big accomplishments.”
ASU made the switch from Nike to Adidas this year.

The all-white “Desert Ice” uniforms were unveiled in late August and worn in the team’s season opener against Texas A&M on Sept. 5, a 38-17 loss.
After Saturday’s loss to USC, the Sun Devils dropped to 2-2 on the season.
