In Uniform News...
Oregon outdoes themselves, yet again. Do they hire a 3rd grade art class to come up with these concepts?

It was an exciting press conference
and wtf…they have wings on their shoulder pads. Is it possible to buy a TV set that will block all images of these uniforms?
Wings?
I thought they were duck feathers. Ug-ly.

BAHAHAHAAHA
WINGS ON THE SHOULDERS!!! HAHAHA
We should get a poll together for which Oregon uniform looks the worst, because this one is as bad if not worse than their previous ones.
The lettering font has to be the absolute worst design I’ve ever seen on a football jersey. And who the hell puts embedded lines in football helmets (watch the video for the silver helmet)? Nike really has Oregon bent over a stump squealing like a pig, and my guess is they probably enjoy all these uniform changes. My favorite part is where he describes the uniforms as keeping them warm when it’s cold, cool when it’s hot, and dry when it’s wet (and I was waiting for clean when it’s dirty, but it didn’t come). Is that not part of football? You’re toughened by the environment you play in. You take that pain or difficulty and turn it into power, and wear the grass and mud stains with pride, because you know you’ve given it everything you’ve got.
The Iowa game will make me reconsider "toughen out the conditions" philosophies
I’m all for keeping the athletes as comfortable as possible (without of course babying them).
and yeah, their silver/white uniform looks the best, but has that ridiculous dimpling effect on the helmet/numbers/logos. Also, doesn’t really use their colors.

Aaargh
Bad memories of Penn State players huddled up between boxes to stay warm. Stupid hellhole Iowa.

Although
The cold wasn’t the problem (MSU game, anyone?), it was that cursed wind that seemingly blew out of the northern wastes.

Yeah I was just going to point that out
Cold is one thing, they all sucked it up for Mich. St., but the conditions at Iowa were extreme with the 20+ mph winds, which I wouldn’t ever say they should just “tough out”. I agree with JNitt there that they shouldn’t have been left at Iowa to “toughen out the conditions”, but that was an exception to that rule since it was extreme cold with the wind (I think I remember them displaying the wind chill as in the single digits or below), especially in a hell-hole like Iowa.
I think they had sideline heaters at the MSU game, though
I remember commenting about learning the lesson. Also, even though MSU was cold and snowing, I think Iowa was colder (especially with the windchill)

If I hear one more thing about that phuquing wind
I’ma ..I don’t know what I’ll do. But saying ‘wind’ for anything other than Zug rides or speaks upon it makes us sound like a bunch of pansies.
Poor judgment, first and foremost, cost us that game.

no offense
to rambler or juggs btw. You guys are pretty cool pansies.

No, you're completely right, judgement cost us the game
but the wind chill and gusts (is that better than saying wind?) didn’t help things at all. And not having heaters on the sideline was also an example of poor judgment.

I prefer “frigid blasts of Iowa cold like a curse from Saruman himself” to “wind”.

Bogging down in Iowa's red zone cost us that game.

My question
Is that guy wearing a 5, or an upside-down 2?
(The wings write their own jokes…)

They are an improvement. If you are interested in a slightly more in depth discussion of the issue, try this blog.

I think I am the only person outside of Eugene
Who actually digs their uniforms. I know I must be on crack.
It takes a lot of balls to say that on a Penn State blog.

The numbers look
like circa 1984(?) Chicago White Sox. Why don’t they just go with ComicSans.
The urine colored jersey are killer. Saves us all the work filling bags and tossing them.
What, no room for wings and faux diamond plate on the shoulders. Major cop out.

I think it's funny
On the east coast you have a team with the plainest uniforms in football, 3000 miles away you have a team with uniforms that look like something out of a mardis gras parade.
From jesse’s link
You say these colors have nothing to do with Oregon or its heritage? Dude, this football program hasn’t had anything to do with Oregon’s heritage in a long time. Just dig the look and be glad it doesn’t have a cape or something.
Somewhere there’s a Nike marketing guy stroking his chin wondering if capes are allowed by the NCAA.

I think what is funnier
is that both schools are early members of the Nike invasion of college football. Oregon got the complete makeover, Penn State got a little swoosh on the chest that people bitch about.
