Bearcats Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 also my reviewThere are three things wrong with it. Dumb number font when it comes to legibility. The uneccesary number of jerseys/pants/helmets. One alternate is usually ok, but two is ridiculous. And the steel markings on the shoulders and pants.Other than that I think I like them.I agree with most of your review.The three helmets are growing on me. Lets just be happy that it's not 4 helmets (green, white, yellow, and black). It's kind of like baseball; we're used to teams having more than one hat to go with different uniforms. I'm so glad there's no black helmet. I still think they should stick with just one helmet, the green one.I have mixed feelings about the uniforms. Oregon is Nike's testing ground school so these uniforms are supposed to be "out there". If these are the most "out there" uniforms that Nike could come up with, then they're not that bad.Things I don't like:? diamondplate pattern? numeral font? black jersey? black pants? the number outline on the white jersey should be yellowThings I like:? green jersey, white jersey, yellow jersey (I've always been a fan of yellow jerseys )? green pants, white pants? green, yellow, and white helmet helmets? stretch twill numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcats Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 So theoretically the ducks could wear:White Top/Black pantsWhite Top/Yellow pantsWhite Top/Green PantsWhite Top/White PantsGreen Top/Black PantsGreen Top/Yellow PantsGreen Top/Green PantsGreen Top/White PantsBlack Top/Black PantsBlack Top/Yellow PantsBlack Top/Green PantsBlack Top/White PantsYellow Top/Black PantsYellow Top/Yellow PantsYellow Top/Green PantsYellow Top/White PantsThat's 16 different combinations of just the uniforms alone.Throw in the three helmets and that's 48 Different Uniform combinations.Divided by 12 regular season games.The Ducks could "hypothetically" never wear the same uniform for 4 years! Actually they'll probably also have white, yellow, green and black undershirts so that makes 192 combinations if my math is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cableguy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 You have got to be kidding me! Ok they get my early votes for the most horrible uniforms in the history of sport....I would be literally embarrassed to wear that in public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doafhat Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The jerseys look like somebody ran over them with a truck, the helmets look like a hot rod with the flames, and doesn't Donald Duck ride a motorcycle onto the field before football games? At this point, Oregon might as well start calling themselves the "Road Warriors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 And to think I thought it was impossible to out-do the Canucks "V" sweaters in terms of ungly-ness. Oh how I was wrong.

Oh how I was wrong. heh...these aint even close to ugly IMO, and I used to think the Nucks' V jerseys were ugly...but we gotta go to Toronto for sports' ugliest eyesores:(I'm sorry, Primal, but I had to show it. not all of em were destroyed, it seems) A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awuestenfeld Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 On a side note, does anyone know the paint code for Oregon's green helmets? I would love to get a hold of that color to paint some helmets...Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Boy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 im gonna buy all four jerseys.....so hehe a fan never turns his back on his team!!!! You'd better turn your back on the team or else you'll go blind looking at these uniforms.Who designed the yellow helmet, Nike or Orange County Choppers?

buster04 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yep. Terrible. I really really like the White uni's. I think one thing everyone needs to take with a grain assault is that this is Oregon's niche and their deal. Dynamic uni's that are against everything traditional. They are Nike Guinea pigs but thats the way they are. I like them for being different and I also love uni's from the traditional schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I just threw my dinner up. Those numbers look like the players on my Madden '96 Sega game. Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock55choc Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 That number font looks terrible. Plus, theres no need for the white and yellow helmets. If the rest of the uni's werent so god-awful, those green helmets look pretty smooth to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderstruk Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I don't feel so bad about those new Illini uniforms after seeing these!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runnerdud05 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I live in oregon and those uniforms look so ugly behind ugly for that matter. If they held a pagant for college uniforms i would get rid of the ducks quickly. What is up with this 4 to 5 uniforms for a season?They need to stop seriously whats next??They haven't won a national championship so they shouldn't have the right to create millions of uniforms that look ugly.

Frylock Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hey tough guy... Fitty-Cent called: He wants his scowl back.On a seperate note...Good Lord, why do the higher-ups at Nike really think this crap can be accepted by the masses? Oh that's right, they don't care. I really wish that Notre Dame was a Nike school so they could go f k around with someone else's tradition.Ya know... Maybe Nike does win this fight, 'cause frankly, I give up.THANK GOD I'M A BEAV!

nugent4president Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 You realize that Oregon does this because of the publicity, right? We talk about the University of Oregon all the time for being different. A kid in high school could narrows his choices to a few schools, then sees that he is going to get the most attention if he goes to Oregon. Nike continues to outfit the Ducks, and the life cycle continues. If you really hate Nike that much, and want them to go away, stop being so critical of them and just flat out ignore them. If you say this is impossible to do, well, guess what? That means Nike and Oregon are getting exactly what they wanted. Also, can anyone else come up with a way to say vomit on this thread?
