On Saturday afternoon, the Arizona State Sun Devils athletic department sent out a memo stating the program will adopt more traditional football uniforms moving forward, adding the Sun Devils should primarily be wearing maroon and gold next season.
This announcement stirred some controversy in the Sun Devil community, and demonstrated the fact that fans, donors and athletes are not always on the same page. While this could seem a trivial issue, uniform designs play a key role in the marketability of a program to both the media and recruits, presenting the fact a discussion needs to be had within the community.
