Maroon Monsoon, the "blackout game," the standard gold games -- ASU football is back with new theme additions for the 2017 football season.
For the first time, ASU is trying a "stripe out" game, having fans wear gold or maroon based on the section. This versus USC, whose colors are gold and cardinal.
Fans had mixed reactions regarding things like having Sparky on the players' football helmets and the charcoal-colored jerseys. This scheduled seems to indicate a move toward the Sun Devils' roots.
"What's this? Sparky is on the helmet more than once this year? Excellent! 👍," wrote Terry Baca on Facebook.
"Why no more charcoal jerseys!?!? Those were sick," Aaron Wright wrote.
Here's the schedule:
Thursday, August 31 - Wear gold
New Mexico State comes to Tempe for the opener.
