New look at Arizona’s copper helmets

Arizona to wear copper helmets this week

We have been hearing about these copper-colored helmets to be worn by Arizona for some time now, but the time has finally come to see what they really look like. And the timing could not have been better.

Arizona changed the narrative Monday by unveiling these new, wildly anticipated helmets today, less than 48 hours after being smashed by Oregon Saturday night. While there may have been some positives for Arizona to draw on if you looked close enough without knowing the final score, the general feeling was that Arizona was clearly not ready for primetime. That may be the case, but the big news today was not how they come back from such a rough loss to play another top 25 team in conference play. It was about the helmets.

Good job Arizona. Perfect way to introduce the new look.
