Hockey in the desert has never looked better thanks to adidas. The jersey maker for the National Hockey League has also put out some impressive college hockey jerseys, and its latest work for Arizona State is certainly worthy of some attention.
ASU is one of just two college hockey teams in the state, but there’s plenty to like about playing hockey in Arizona. That’s especially true of the new uniforms, which use the state symbol and the ASU Sun Devils motif to show off adidas’ adiZERO jersey they debuted with a full redesign of the NHL last season.
As is expected with anything Arizona State, maroon and gold is everywhere on these, but it makes for a stunning look. The whites are crisp and the maroon alternate jersey has a bit of grey at the bottom to anchor the look. The state of Arizona surrounds the captain and assistant captain letters on the front of the jersey, which is a pretty nice touch.
The new threads certainly leave some chances to show off different looks for the Iced Sun Devils, too. Four helmet colors, two jerseys, three pant shells and a trio of different glove options give ASU 72 different uniform combinations, which is a fun math problem if you want to work it out for yourself.
The Sun Devils will show off their new uniforms for the first time at home on October 6 against Alaska-Fairbanks. They’ll skate as an independent team unaffiliated with a conference again this season, but with this look that’s not the only way they’ll stand out.
