Arizona State helmets drop their demonic homage to Walt Disney

Yahoo.com’s Rivals reports the Arizona State Sun Devils have changed their football helmet logos to a pitchfork instead of the former devil motif. What’s this got to do with Disney? Here’s the relavant section…

The only major casualty of the redesign: The cartoon Sun Devil himself, Sparky, who was originally incarnated in the late-’40s by alum Bert Anthony, a former Disney artist who allegedly (and probably apocryphally) modeled the Devil’s features after his old boss as retribution for being fired.
