Arizona State Gets Nostalgic with 1975 Sunburst-Style Helmets

In 1975, legendary Arizona State head coach Frank Kush led his Sun Devils to the greatest season in school history.

ASU finished the year 11-0, scored 347 points while giving up just 127, and defeated Nebraska 17-14 in the Fiesta Bowl. The Sun Devils would end the year ranked #2 in both the Coaches and AP Poll, which remains the schools highest season-ending ranking in history.

To commemorate Frank Kush and the 1975 squad, Arizona State will don these fabulous sunburst-style throwback helmets this Saturday when they face San Diego State.

 

There's nothing like nostalgia, especially when you're honoring a legend. @sundevilathletics will honor Frank Kush Saturday by, among other things, wearing the Sunburst-style helmets like these from the 1975 Fiesta Bowl. #TBT #Pac12FB
