Arizona coach Sean Miller said Nike has been pushing for Arizona to have more uniform combinations, and one of those was unveiled Monday.
According to the Twitter feed of ESPN’s Jeff Goodman — who is close to Miller and the program — here is one of the looks.

I’m not the right guy to ask about uniforms, because I generally don’t care, but I’m not a fan of this look and the gradient colors with the blue going to red at the shoulders, and the red to blue at the bottom of the shorts.
This version eliminates the “CATS” down the side of the shorts, which was a nice vintage nod to uniforms of the 1990s, including the ones worn by the 1997 national championship team.
After Goodman’s tweet, Arizona “officially” announced the new uniforms, which will come in a rainbow of color combinations, including copper as an accent.

Here was Miller talking about uniforms at Arizona Media Day a couple of weeks ago:
