TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil Hockey and adidas unveiled the program's new ADIZERO Authentic jerseys and uniform assets for the 2018-19 season on Thursday.
With an emphasis on innovation, combined with the uniqueness of college hockey in the desert, ASU and adidas teamed up to create a total of 72 uniform combinations – more than any other hockey program in the country.
"The willingness of adidas to collaborate and transform the look of what was an already unique program into something college hockey hasn't seen before, puts adidas Hockey at the forefront of yet another hockey apparel landscape," said Sun Devil Hockey equipment manager Jon Laughner. "This is just the start of reinventing the college hockey uniform system. We are excited to rollout new and exciting uniforms."
Uniform Breakdown:
"adidas is committed to innovation in sport. The adizero Authentic jersey debuted through our NHL partnership for the 2017-18 season and now Arizona State is the first NCAA team to launch their adizero designs," said Dan Near, Sr. Director of adidas Hockey. "We're thrilled to partner with the Sun Devils as they take the ice this fall!"
At the forefront of innovation, design and craftsmanship, the new ADIZERO Authentic jersey takes the hockey uniform system and hockey jersey silhouette to the next level by redefining fit, feel and lightweight construction.
Sun Devil Hockey will debut their new uniforms in the home-opening weekend Oct. 6-7 against Alaska-Fairbanks at Oceanside Ice Arena. Season tickets are now available to the general public and can be reserved here.

- Lighter - Featuring new cresting materials and construction technology, the ADIZERO Authentic jersey reduces crest weight by up to 46%, while a single layer perforated numbering system reduces number weight by up to 60%, in order to deliver a new jersey that is significantly lighter than ASU's previous jerseys.
- Cooler - The ADIZERO Authentic jersey features adidas Clima® technology in each of the jersey fabrics to deliver breathability and enhanced performance. Combining moisture management technology and a streamlined silhouette to maximize air flow circulation with materials that are up to 133% more permeable than fabrics currently used on ice allows athletes to be cooler.
- Stronger - Constructed for durability, the ADIZERO Authentic jersey fabrics are up to 27% stronger in burst testing and up to 72% tougher in abrasion testing.
