LAS VEGAS — The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats will don new alternate helmets during the program's inaugural season in the Big 12.
On Day 1 of the 2024 Big 12 football Media Days at Allegiant Stadium Tuesday, a white helmet that will feature a cursive "Cats" decal in red font — the same logo that's currently on the hip of the team's game pants. The helmet also has a chrome-red face mask and a red, white and blue decal down the crown of the helmet.
The Wildcats will continue to wear its traditional "Desert Swarm" white helmets with a navy blue face mask and a block "A" decal for most games.
It is believed ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s alternate helmets are the first ones without some form of the block "A" since its cursive "UA" look in the mid-1970s, when ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ was a part of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
