Were Arizona's new football jerseys leaked online?

We may have our first look at Arizona's new football jerseys, Ryan Finley of the Arizona Daily Star reports. The leak came from EA Sports' NCAA Football 11.

If the screenshots are to be believed as the new uniform, it looks like the classic white helmet is back. Three cheers from me for that decision. Although, I am not digging the mono-chromatic setup of the red, white, and bue tops/bottoms. Here's to hoping that the Cats mix up the colors a little bit, and show off the classic blue top/white pants combination.

Also, the pixelated pants stripe?

What do you all think? What would you have liked to see the Cats do differently? Do you even believe these will be the real jerseys? They have not been officially unveiled by the school, so we may end up seeing something completely different. Although, it has been rumored that Arizona was going back to a more old-school look, and the white helmet certainly fits that.

New UofA Unis

These were not just leaked today, these photos and more came out in late November 2009, when UofA was getting ready for the Holiday Bowl. Paul Lukas from UniWatch came across these screenshots and everyone thinks he leaked the new uniforms. He doesn’t even have the full set of pictures as I do. This is not new news. Real UofA Alumni / Fans have known about this for 6 months. The new white helmets will have blue/red strip down the middle this year also. Bear Down Cats.

Bring back the white.

U of A’s white helmets were classic and I was bummed to see them go, just as Washington never should’ve switched away from their gold lids to those purple pieces of junk they wore for a few years.

If that image is indeed the new look, it’s a cool mix of new and old.

Blue > White; other thoughts

I prefer the Blue helmets to the white ones. Having attended Arizona from 2002-2006, blue helmets remind me of a better time than the white ones.

Just to be clear, these uniforms are in the game already. There are six different tights, four jerseys (last year’s cardinal and navy colors along with the upcoming season’s new cardinal and navy tops), and both the navy helmet as well as a tweaked white helmet pre-loaded into Team Builder.

That said, there’s nothing on the Arizona athletics website about the new look — yet.

A good person to talk to about the uniforms in NCAA 11 is Adam Thompson from EA, who you can find at the Operation Sports gamer forums. He usually fields all of the uniform questions, gripes, etc.

I recall from last year’s game that teams had to get new uniform designs/mock ups/actual uniforms to EA by a certain deadline to get them into the game.
