Arizona Football heads to Hawaii as one of the first games of the college football season. For the special game Arizona will wear their U.S.S. Arizona helmets with an all white jersey and pant combination. The helmet honors those who were on the U.S.S. Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor. We saw the Wildcats wear a full U.S.S. Arizona uniform when they played Hawaii back in 2016, while this season they opt for just the helmet along with their white uniform. The helmet features a custom Block A on the side of the helmet, that was inspired by the jersey worn by the ship's football team. The front bumper has the date 12-7-41, while the back bumper reads At 'Em Arizona, the rallying cry of the ship.
The Hornets are bringing back a classic as they have unveiled their new purple ‘Classic Edition’ uniform for the 2019-20 season. Similar to the teal and white versions of the uniform from the past few years, this uni echoes the same design worn by the original Charlotte Hornets. The purple uniforms debuted during the 1994-95 season and the 2019-20 season marks the 25th anniversary for them.
The purple ‘Classic Edition’ jersey will feature the familiar crossover v-neck and multi-colored pinstripes in light blue, green, royal blue and teal. For the shorts we will see the classic Hornets logo on the waist and the same white, purple and teal trim as the originals.
“After having had teal and white Classic Edition uniforms the last two seasons, it is only right that we complete the set with the purple one this year. With this season being the 25th anniversary of the purple uniform’s introduction in 1994, this is the perfect time to bring back a Classic Edition version.” -Hornets President & Vice Chairman Fred Whitfield
Fans will get to see the uniform in action for five home games this season.
The Carolina Hurricanes have revealed their latest addition to their uniform collection, their new road uniform. The Hurricanes now boast one of the most diverse uniform sets in the NHL. The new road uniform incorporates elements from previous uniforms over the years while allowing for a modern take on their classic road jersey. The team went with a clean white jersey that features CANES word mark diagonally across the front, and we see a return to red numbers and letters outlined in black. The Canes iconic warning flag pattern is found on the waistline. The new secondary logo will now be featured on the jersey’s shoulders, with the reintroduction of the shoulder patches. A new element for this uniform are the primary logo 3-D helmet decals, that are located on either side of the team’s helmet.
“We feel that we now have the most diverse uniform set in the NHL with three uniforms that utilize three different brand assets as crest logos (primary logo, secondary logo, word mark), not to mention a fourth uniform when you factor in our Whalers set. We’ve released four new uniforms in the last two calendar years which is a high number for hockey standards and, with the exception of the Whalers uniform, we’re really proud that our internal graphic design team has taken the lead on these to ideate and design them all in-house.” - Hurricanes
Arizona State will have a special white alternate uniform for this season. The uniform was inspired by ASU’s commitment to an environmentally-Friendly campus. The white colorway of the uniform is meant to eliminate toxic dyes, while the Econyl yarn makes up 70% of the uniform.

To finish off the uniform the Sun Devlis’ cleats will be made from recycled materials.

We're so appreciative.” - Head Coach Lovie Smith
The Oregon Ducks have released their 2019 uniforms, that will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their partnership with Nike. The new 2019 "Nike Vapor Fusion" uniform are very similar to the Oregon Football 2.0 uniforms, that the Ducks wore in 2018 but with some small differences. The jerseys feature numbers that are perforated, along with an Oregon "O" moved to the right breastplate instead of the "Ducks" graphic on the 2018 uniforms. The number backplate has done away with the backing and the names will be directly on the back of the uniforms. The Ducks are sure to have a few tricks up their sleeve this season with an alternate uniform or two and we will be sure to let you know first.
