From the September 14, 2016, Arizona Sports "Arizona football releases uniform honoring USS Arizona vs. Hawaii."
The uniforms honor the upcoming 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and will remember the sinking of the state's namesake. The helmets and shoulder patches will especially reflect the USS Arizona.
The white-shaded helmets are the colors of the USS Arizona's upper mast. The white jerseys are the colors of the hull and red pants are the color of the keel.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
