These days, it’s pretty common for college football teams across the country to roll out alternate uniforms in addition to their standard home and away kit. Sometimes, those uniforms are well-received by fans and the college football world. But Arizona State’s uniforms on Saturday most definitely were not.
During Saturday afternoon’s game against the Washington Huskies, the Arizona State Sun Devils traded in their traditional maroon and gold uniforms for a strange new alternate uniform that had the college football world buzzing. The uniform itself was an odd beige or khaki color with bright yellow numbers that had a gradient that looked like it was straight out of Microsoft Paint.
The team’s helmets were at least the team colors, but they still had the strange gradient and a very odd, non-traditional script font across the side.
It was quite a jarring look, and it certainly got the college football world talking on Saturday afternoon, but for all the wrong reasons as Twitter absolutely blasted the alternate uniforms.

While the uniforms might not have looked great, at least the team did. The Sun Devils beat No. 21 Washington 45-38 in an upset victory on Saturday afternoon. Maybe they need to wear the ugly uniforms more often
