It's Time. Are you ready?
<p>ASU Vice President for Athletics Lisa Love has introduced a universitywide brand and identity program. The university has teamed with Nike, the world’s premier athletic branding company, in a major rebranding campaign that launched April 12.</p><separator></separator><p>During the unveiling, student-athletes representing the sports of football, basketball, softball and volleyball modeled new uniforms for the 2011-2012 season. All 21 of ASU’s sports teams will receive new uniforms. These uniforms will incorporate consistent use of colors, logos, lettering and numerals.</p><separator></separator><p>The rebranding adds two colors to the athletics color palette of maroon and gold: copper, for its prominence in Arizona history, and black, a long-anticipated return to the Sun Devil attitude.</p><separator></separator><p>Also, Nike developed a custom athletic font called Sun Devil Bold. This font, which is exclusive to Sun Devil Athletics, incorporates unique characteristics intended to represent the horns of its mascot Sparky or the tines of the pitchfork he carries.</p><separator></separator><p>Take a look back at ASU's illustrious athletics past and how it has paved the way for the future of Sun Devil athletics:</p><separator></separator><p> </p><separator></separator><h3> Video</h3><p> </p><separator></separator><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41LR-3__Ng"><img alt height="100" src="/files/images/spirit.png" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" width="100"></a></p><separator></separator><h2><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q41LR-3__Ng">Fans, Spirit Squad and Marching Band</a></h2><p id="eow-description">It's Time to take a look back at our great Fans, Spirit Squad and Marching Band.</p><separator></separator><p> </p><separator></separator><p> </p><separator></separator><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8SIabn_2vU&feature=related"><img alt height="100" src="/files/images/past.png" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" width="100"></a></p><separator></separator><h2><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8SIabn_2vU&feature=related">It's Time...
