You look good, feel good, and the play will improve. Or at least that’s what the Arizona Wildcats are hoping to see starting next season with new uniforms.
The Arizona Wildcats are apparently trying to roll with the phrase “new year, new me”, as they unveiled some new gear for the 2017 season on Tuesday.
In a video on their Twitter account, Arizona showcased the new uniforms, made by Nike, with some of their players rocking the new digs. The video was posted with the caption “New season. New look. #BearDown”, and it looks like the team is hoping to bounce back from a rough year by busting out some fresh new looks.
There are a bunch of different variations of the uniform, with blue, red, and white jerseys all as options for the WIldcats for next year. The uniforms also featured some glossy red, pure white or blue matte helmets to mix and match with for endless combinations.

The team also gave a closer look at the new features and all the uniform combinations possible in an image with several of their players after the video showcased the new look.

The Wildcats didn’t have a very great 2016 season, as they finished 3-9 overall and 1-8 in the Pac-12. The lone highlight of their season, and lone conference win, came when they defeated their rival from the same state, Arizona State, in the two team’s annual Territorial Cup game.

Arizona must be banking on the whole “look good, feel good, play good” mentality with these new uniforms, and they’re incredibly sharp. However, like in any case, it’s going to take a lot more than a quick little uniform change to make any serious improvements on the field this upcoming season.
Maybe the next change the team can make is with their coaching staff, as Rich Rodriguez will need to make some changes and get some more wins on the field if he has any chance of keeping his job as Arizona’ head coach after next season.
