SAID ARIZONA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GREG BYRNE VIA HIS WEEKLY E-NEWS LETTER:

“Over the years Arizona Football helmets have included a variety of designs using the colors red, white and blue. We’re excited to announce that we’re introducing a new football helmet with a distinctive state of Arizona flair and color – copper.”

“Copper is not only associated with our great state’s mining history, but it has influenced architectural design on our campus, including our athletic facilities – most notably the ring at the top of the McKale Center, and the future North End Zone Football Complex. As such we embrace the idea that as the University of Arizona we will incorporate copper into a special helmet design to represent our state and University. Copper will not replace our traditional colors of red and blue, and the copper helmet will be worn on a limited basis. Bear Down!”

Arizona football’s new copper helmets? I like them
