I'm going to admit that I like it. A lot. Especially with the black mask and chinstrap. I love tradition, but if not for teams like Oregon, tradition wouldn't be traditional.

What is with Oregon trying to stand out from the rest of the college sport teams. Now I admit I like the basketball uniform...but the but the football uniforms like they about to go into space to battle aliens is too much and they know it. First the ridiculous uniform and now the helmet. Can't they try and be normal.

I...ya....umm....wow.

I'm a Duck. I've defended our uniforms (I like the font, I can see past the diamond plate, but I dislike the black creeping in in the two big sports). I bleed green and yellow and I'm hopeful we do well.

But daaaaaayum...that's just too much. I can't approve of that. I just can't.

they're messing with the one part of the uniform that should be sacrosanct - the dark green helmet with the yellow "O". It's beautiful, and should not be touched.

are the front bumper logos raised in this pic?

I've never seen that before.

Yeah theyve been doing that for a few years now.

wow, look how much better the Ducks uniforms look in that picture. Maybe it's just Joey Harrington :D

I saw, I came, I left.

Yeah, I'm a Beaver fan, but I've got to say that I kind of like these helmets. While I'm not anti gray facemasks, I certainly prefer the green one for this design. And while they're at it, leave the Nike-fied "O" off the helmet, too!

I've disliked Oregon and their uniforms for a while...but I keep paying attention to what they bring out next. It's like I'm rubbernecking - I can't stop looking at how bad it is.

They've severed all ties with traditional..."tradition" for them is going to mean trotting out in something completely ugly, ridiculous, and different each season.

2008? Clear, Saran-Wrap style jerseys - no, no, BUBBLE WRAP jerseys with inserts of plastic for numbers.

2009? Cardboard jerseys, with firefly gut paint as neon numbers. (You know what I'm talking about.)

2010? Suits of armor.

2011? Loincloths.

I know I'm comparing it to a classic, but is the concept really that different from the University of Michigans helmets?

Actually, yes. The Michigan design (originated at Princeton, by the way) was the result of painting some of the panels on a certain style of leather helmet. They just elected to keep the design even after the leather helmets went the way of the dinosaur. This design has no connection whatsoever to the design or function of the helmet shell, so there is a significant difference.
