Panthers Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have game worn home and away jerseys from that era. They are great. Love the color and the look with the Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schilly Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I think the Ducks get more attentio in this forum than any other tema in sports....And the funnything is everyone in here complaining adamantly about how terrible it all is, likely is sitting on the edge of their seat to see what they will do next. OK so here we are on a forum of people who basically are obsessed with uniforms and colors, and if nobody changed anything there would be nothing to talk about.I watched the game abd you couldn't even see th flames...if they put them on there and you can't see them, then who cares if they spent the time to do so.

footballfiji Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Oregon's first live mascot had surfaced in the 1920s when "Puddles," a resident of the nearby Millrace, was escorted to football and basketball games by his fraternity-house neighbors. Puddles and his various offspring were part of the Duck sports scene until the early 1940s when repeated complaints from the Humane Society finally sucked the fun out of bringing a live duck to games.However, Puddles' memory was preserved in 1947 when Oregon's first athletic director, Leo Harris, struck a handshake arrangement with Walt Disney. Donald's likeness could serve as a mascot, as long as it was done in good taste. The unique deal stood for 20 years, with Walt Disney Productions providing several versions of the duck for Oregon's use, until the cartoonist's death in 1966. That's when both parties realized no formal contract existed granting the University the right to Donald's image.The best evidence Harris could offer was a photograph taken two decades earlier showing the late Mr. Disney in an Oregon letterman's jacket with Donald clearly visible on the front. Disney representatives agreed to negotiate the first written contract in 1973 for the athletic department's continued use of Donald.From: GoDucks.ComIn 1991, the agreement was expanded to allow wider use of the likeness on sweatshirts, glassware and other merchandise.The frenzied "charging duck" pumping his fists inside a large, eight-sided letter 'O' was a ubiquitous campus logo for years. It was eventually replaced as the UO marketing machine grew and felt confined by Disney's restrictive contract, which forbids the school from selling items with the Donald Duck logo beyond the Oregon border.From : Corante Plainsman Parking Lot.

harperdc Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thanks!Interesting - you can buy the Donald stuff online....or in Duck stores in the state of Oregon. Nowhere else.Honestly, there's only one picture where you can even see any ghost flames at all, and they're still incredibly faint: See the second and third pics here on Ducks beat writer Rob Moseley's blog on the Register-Guard, which is one of the single-best Duck football information sources. Rob's doing serious good work, but that's besides the point.The all-white look is really, really clean and I don't mind it as an away. My only complaints are, still, with the diamond plating (except on the white, because you can't see it!) and the numbers - a little hard to see from a distance. Other than that, the template - shoulders separate colors - and even the "OREGON" running up the leg doesn't look too bad. Do I wish we had the unis we had my first two years - the ones that they wore through 2005? Sure, those looked good and the font was better - *and* they don't have silver names which are impossible to see on white or yellow.For those mindlessly once again bashing the University as a whole because of the athletic department: MANY ON CAMPUS DON'T LIKE THE A.D. EITHER. Join the club. The University just got another HUGE donation, this one $74.5 million to go toward sciences, but there are STILL complaints that athletics still take the lead at the school. There's merit to the argument; however, the A.D. has been doing incredibly well the last few years, and, yes, they're self-sufficient. There's a lot of talk about the subject on campus...it's a big deal.But people still keep filling Autzen - 50-plus sellouts in a row and rising - no matter how they look. I just wish they'd kept the Clemens-era ones (green with yellow, yellow with green, all white). I can get used to how the team looks if they win, though.

leedsunited Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Get rid of the steel "tread" markings and the goofy Rollerball numbers, and you've got a relatively problem-free set. Or at least the start of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Flames.I thought these looked like crap, by the way. I'm not really a fan of a lot of white being used, though. They ought to go with bright yellow helmets, shirts and pants on the road. With a lot of flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least the start of one.my precise thoughts on the matter. Go back to the other number font, make the names the same color as the numbers (re: legible), and axe the diamond plate, and they'd be fine.I still have issues with black creeping in as a color for team uniforms - to the point of actively buying stuff in yellow and green versus the black versions - but that's more minor.btw, thanks for image leeching and not giving credit for where the helmet pics came from. I tried to give due credit with the link to follow through; nice to know I'm the only one who thinks of doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Is there anywhere one can find the Joey Harrington-era Oregon jerseys now? I wanted one back in the day, being that its "weird', now I want one cause it's one of my favorite jerseys of all time.
