Duke announced earlier this week that its Sun Bowl uniform combination will feature black helmets, black jerseys and white pants.

This is the first time that ASU has worn this combination. ASU previously wore the "big pitchfork" white helmet in its loss to Oregon State earlier this year and won its lone 2013 matchup with the helmet at UCLA. The Sun Devils previously paired the white jersey with maroon pants for their wins at Colorado and Washington.
The Sun Devils have yet to repeat looks during the 2014 season. ASU's uniform combinations this season have gone as follows:
Weber State: Gold helmet, maroon jersey, gold pants
New Mexico: Gold helmet, white jersey, gold pants
Colorado: Maroon "big pitchfork" helmet, white jersey, maroon pants
UCLA: "Flame" black helmet, black jersey, black pants
USC: Black helmet, white helmet, black pants
Stanford: Maroon "big pitchfork" helmet, maroon jersey, maroon pants
Washington: Gold helmet, white jersey, maroon pants
Utah (fan vote): Black helmet, maroon jersey, black pants
Notre Dame: White "Desert Fuel" helmet, anthracite "Desert Fuel" uniform, anthracite "Desert Fuel" pants
Oregon State: White "big pitchfork" helmet, white jersey, white pants
Washington State: White helmet, maroon jersey, maroon pants
UA: Gold "Sparky" helmet, white jersey, gold pants
Saturday's game will mark ASU's final football game wearing Nike apparel, as the University signed an eight-year deal with Adidas earlier this month.
