It is an old school look but a new age feel. According to Arizona Athletics, the jerseys are the Nike Elite Fit 2.0 uniforms which include lightweight technology and enhanced fit to maximize performance. The jerseys, which will expand the team’s existing cactus-based aerographic over the entire back, are durable and breathable for sweat management while also maximizing range of motion with articulated armholes.
There will be five different options to the uniform as opposed to the three they have had in the past.
Above is the video Arizona released for the unveiling of the uniforms.
