The Block A has long been the most recognizable symbol of the University of Arizona, adorning the football helmets for more than 30 years, regardless of whether the shell was red, white, blue, or even copper. This fall, however, the Wildcats are shaking things up with an alternate helmet that steps away from the iconic logo.
The new white helmet features a bold ‘Cats’ in red script on both sides, a departure from the traditional Block A. Additionally, the helmet sports red chrome face masks, replacing the previous blue ones. The design is completed with red and blue stripes running from the front to the back over the top of the helmet.
This fresh look promises to add a new layer of excitement to the 2024 season, reflecting the team’s dynamic spirit and rich heritage.

With just two weeks remaining until the season opener, the Flames have debuted brand-new light blue uniforms that are sure to catch the eye of fans and opponents alike.

This weekend The UCF Knights will take the field against the Sam Houston Bearkats with a meaningful twist: special helmet decals designed by pediatric patients from Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.
The story behind these special decals began this past spring when UCF players visited the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. The visit wasn’t just about spending time with the young patients; it was also an opportunity for the kids to unleash their creativity. The pediatric patients were invited to help design the decals that first appeared on the players' helmets during their spring game.
When the Knights step onto the field this Saturday evening, they will be wearing white helmets adorned with a distinctive “UCF” logo on each side, created by the children during the spring visit. Each side of the helmet will feature a differently-colored UCF logo, chosen from the designs made by the kids.
These decals were not just a creative exercise but a meaningful gesture led by UCF equipment manager Brad Anderson. Reflecting on the initiative, Anderson said, “We got such a good reaction from the spring game with the helmets that we really wanted to put this on the field for an actual game. Not just the spring game, but a game that counts towards us making the College Football Playoff.”
By featuring these unique helmet decals, UCF is not just honoring the creative spirit of the young patients but also shining a spotlight on Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. The decals represent a gesture of solidarity and support, amplifying awareness and bringing a heartfelt connection between the UCF Knights and the Orlando community.
