I agree with you. The more "innovative" they try to get, the worse they look. The one flaw I could see is them being accused of beongtoo similar to the Packers. There's no striping, the numbers are yellow, and Oregon uses a noticeably different shade of green. I don't think I'd worry about that. But yeah, this is the best Oregon has ever looked IMO. I love that Oregon look, but I would change the helmet to an Yellow "O" instead of the "UO".
