Colorado vs. Arizona: Wildcats bring back the chrome red helmets for matchup with Buffaloes

It didn’t go so well the last time Arizona wore the chrome helmets

The chrome helmets are back!

The Arizona Wildcats unveiled their uniform combination for Saturday night’s tussle with the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes, and they’ll be bringing back the shiny red helmets along with red jerseys and red pants.

Here is center Nathan Eldridge and offensive guard Jacob Alsadek making the announcement:

Of course, the last time Arizona wore the chrome helmets, it didn’t go so well for them on the field. Last September, the Wildcats were drubbed by the UCLA Bruins 56-30 with ESPN’s College GameDay in Tucson.

As a whole, Arizona is 2-1-1 all-time when wearing all red, and 4-0 against Colorado since Rich Rodriguez took over as UA head coach in 2012.

The Wildcats (2-7 overall, 0-6 Pac-12) will look for their first conference win against the Pac-12 South-leading Buffaloes (7-2 overall, 5-1 Pac-12) on Saturday.

Kickoff at Arizona Stadium is set for 8 p.m. MST and the game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.

Will the chrome helmets be a good luck charm this time?
