TEMPE, Ariz. – On Tuesday, Sun Devil Hockey revealed the program's alternate black adidas adizero Authentic jersey combined with an exclusive chrome gold CCM stick.
The 'Sparky' jersey brings back the fan-favorite black jersey with a new twist, while adding a black CCM helmet and 'Sparky's Pitchfork', as CCM is referring to the custom chrome gold stick for the Sun Devils, for the finishing touch on the new uniform combination.
"We are really excited to be the first NCAA adidas school to roll out an alternate adizero jersey, along with an exclusive chrome gold CCM JetSpeed stick," said Sun Devil Hockey equipment manager Jon Laughner. "When designing this uniform, we tried to encompass every aspect of the equipment in the uniform design all the way down to matching our stick to our uniform.
"With the addition of a fifth helmet and a third jersey, we now have pushed our possible uniform combinations from 72 to 135. This process has been underway for about 10 months now, and we want to thank our partners at adidas and CCM for their innovation and commitment to making Sun Devil Hockey the leaders in uniform design in NCAA hockey."
The Sun Devils will take the ice in the new uniform in game one of the Desert Hockey Classic against No. 19 Clarkson on Friday, Dec. 28 at 7:30 p.m. (MST) at Gila River Arena. Tickets are still available at the Arizona Coyotes box office by calling 480-563-PUCK (7825) or on ticketmaster.com.
