Arizona to debut new helmet vs. USC

The Arizona Wildcats’ white helmets will look a little different when they host the USC Trojans on Saturday.

The typical white facemasks have been replaced with blue facemasks, a look reminiscent of the Desert Swarm era (although the famous red and blue stripes are still missing along the top of the helmet).

Here’s a screen capture from a video on Arizona Football’s Twitter:

Staying with that classic look, those helmets will be accompanied by blue jerseys and white pants. Arizona is 3-2 in this uniform combination since 2005.

Saturday’s kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. MST on ESPN2.
