Arizona might not have the sartorial splendor of Oregon, but the Wildcats do now have four different helmets and went through the 2012 season without repeating uniform combinations.
The Cats debuted one new helmet color this season — copper — and re-introduced red helmets, which hadn’t been worn at UA since 1980.
For those superstitious about such things, Arizona went:
– 4-2 in white helmets
– 3-1 in blue helmets
– 1-1 in red helmets
– 0-1 in copper helmets
To the right is a chart of the uniform combinations for each game.
For those more visually inclined, we picked consensus All-American running back Ka’Deem Carey as our uniform model and present to you one picture from each game for your perusal.
