Sun Devil Alum Designs New Football Uniforms: House Of Sparky Exclusive
UPDATE: 3:30 PM April 12: The official event has happened, check out a picture of thew new ASU jerseys and some basketball player reaction!
UPDATE, 5:10 PM April 9th: The unveiling of the "new look of ASU athletics" is tonight.
Hello everyone. Our good friend Nick Trahan, who was kind enough to take pictures for us at the 2009 Pac-10 Tournament in Los Angeles, has mocked up a design for the ASU football jerseys.
The look is very different, and I think it would give us a touch of street credibility during a time when we're not winning very many games.
What do you think? Feel free to comment on the design, but be nice! It looks like he worked hard on it.
UPDATE: If you're looking for discussion on what's going to happen this weekend during the big unveiling, check out this post. Here's looking at new uniforms, new logo... and maybe more?

Totally agree
I think it’s the best part of the design, and would look downright scary on the field.

Put pitchforks on the sides of these helmets and they would be amazing
Or a pitchfork on one side and their number on the other. Much like Alabama
It's pretty sick
I personally loved it when they go maroon on maroon like they did in the early 2000s.
When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome again. True story.

Yeah, but now
We’d look just like the Wildcatz.

It's cool
But it will never happen.

I think the uniforms need more of the pitchfork in them
I think having a pitchfork on the helmets would look really really good. I like the uniform that is designed except for the gold part on the stomach (doesn’t look bad but just not my favorite part).
Also, ASU needs to have a gold jersey for home games. The whole stadium is decked out in gold but the only jerseys you can buy are maroon or white. I would love to wear an ASU jersey but I want to wear gold too. Someone could make a killing if they made gold jerseys for the fans.
A few changes
1) Ditch the “jockstrap” or whatever the big yellow lump in the middle is supposed to be
2) Change “ARIZONA STATE” in small letters to “ASU” in big letters
3) Feature a pitchfork prominently somewhere. Maybe on back of helmet, maybe somewhere on jersey. Maybe both.
Otherwise I think it looks really good. Great first draft IMO.
i like it the way it is
but maybe put the pitchfork down each side of the pants
GO BRUINS!!!
Did someone say Alabama?
Just kidding.
I like the horns on the front of the helmet, and would love to see numbers on the side of the helmets too.
The gold belly patch is, err, bad for lack of a term that is family friendly.
I disagree with MrPacTen and his Arizona State small/ ASU large assessment. Being “ASU” on the front would have to be a short but lengthy lettering unless you went for the “what does that jersey say” factor. Heck, just get rid of the lettering all together and do big numbers front and back, with the name on the back shoulders. Oh, and ditch the maroon batman accessory belt look too.
Tell your friend a great show, and I’d give him a B- overall. But you need to revamp the athletic dept/coaching more than the jerseys.
I’m an old school guy and would love to see more retro jerseys used. I’m not much into the Oregon look, but when you have Donald Duck coming out of the “O” you kinda have to do something or else, err, man this family friendly thing is cramping my style.
Don’t know how I’m going to survive the south end zone another year. Hope the Devils put something on the field that breathes of success instead of the last two installments.

"ARIZONA STATE"
gets lettered way too small IMO, so if you could do “ASU” in larger letters, I think that’d be a nice improvement. Or maybe “DEVILS” instead, that could work well too.
I think Devils would work a lot better...
…but I just remember classic jerseys of a lot of teams without the glam needed above the numbers. At least you get my point on the lettering problems.
But I’m just a casual observer of ASU football for the seasons. My love is elsewhere, so I don’t have a proverbial dog in the fight.

I think Devils is a good idea
I really think it would be cool to have this across the chest. I think having a big ASU would look really awkward. Good idea with the Devils!!
I like.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
Wow....
About time. ASU uniforms looked like they were designed in the 60’s.
We really need a new look and I think this fits the bill just fine.
Are they going to change or is this just a design this person put together?
It is just a design
As far as I know they are thinking about changing the uniforms but nothing has come public yet. I agree though I am completely ready for something new and more modern that will appeal to the recruits (well winning also helps with recruits).
Sparky
Needs to be on the helmet. I personally love the horns, but they should slightly shrink the Sparky decal and go Sparky on the side and horns in the front.
The sleeves of the jersey should have the state with the pitchfork thru it on them.
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.

ASU uni mockup
That, my friend, is… BAD-ASS. The University of Oregon should hire you as a consultant (fug unis for years now).
Have any of you guys heard about this new uniform...
Word is that it might get used next year and these just came out a couple months ago. I really like these as an alternate and would look great for the night games.

I will be buying one of these if they are going to be wearing them. Thoughts??
Reminds me too much of UGA's blackout....
Last time they wore the black jerseys they attended their own funeral.
How about we leave gimmicks to teams with identity problems.

Players love the black uniforms
Back in the early days of the Scholar Baller stuff, the reward was that those in the program could wear Black warm-ups instead of the normal stuff. That more than anything was the incentive for the players. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they worse these at some point.
