See Red Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Maybe it's just the lighting having changed or maybe I just didn't notice it earlier but it looks like the number material is starting to have a little more of a sheen to it, which kind of makes it go with the helmets at least a little bit more.

If Nike wanted to make the numbers match the helmet, or vis versa, they could have; they didn't. It sounds to me like they were developed completely independently. Nike probably always planned for Oregon to wear these uniforms and they didn't knwo the helmet would actually be ready until later and when they found out they would be ready, they decided to pair the two.

EasleyK Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I agree. Numbers look different now. Look good. I wished they would have tried a black or green helmet with the wigs the same as the numbers. That would have tied all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Oregon looking even better under the lights than in the sun. Can we all agree on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The helmets now look black. This whole uniform is pure genius. Bash it all you want, but Adidas and UA will try to make their own versions. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That helmet looked awful during the day, but absolutely bad-ass during the night. The rest of the uniform was great. I guess as long as they don't wear that helmet during day games, it's a great uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knnhrvy16 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Oregon's helmet did turn out to be a lot better and sharper at night. Still wish it matched with the rest of the uniform, though. Uniform as a whole, Oregon looked pretty great tonight. The green monochrome and the awesome numbers (both font and material) were the best part of it all. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

WSU151 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The helmet is cool...but not great. Chrome mini helmets were invented in 2000. It's not really a new idea. Call it liquid metal all you want...it's still chrome.The numbers look cheap. The bottom point of the 1's go below the other numbers (such as a 4) on the front and back but not the sleeves. Really bad execution with the 1's. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAnna Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks for the pics. It's amazing how different they look under the night lights versus the daytime. They perfectly match at night since the helmet turns black. I thought they kind of matched during the day as well as it did seem as if the mirror helmets were reflecting the green jersey, but I suppose a silver stripe on the pants would've helped balance it out better though.

MJWalker45 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I kept losing sight of their shoulder wings. That's the only thing that didn't click for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I kept losing sight of their shoulder wings. That's the only thing that didn't click for me.Yah, that bugged me too. I would have preferred that they used a wing pattern similar to the one of the helmet. All in all it was an experiment that I think went really well. I spent the entire first half just staring at their unis....LOL. The helmets did look better in the second half though. Maybe that meant that they should have gone a little darker on the metallic black...but I'm sure they tried that before they settled on this helmet. Overall I give the identity a solid 'B+'.

RHSNEYES Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Although I would have preferred their base green helmets in this combo, I thought it was a great looking game overall, especially once night fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 They looked awesome at night. Then again, I liked them during the day as well. I think Nike did well with the whole uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something about it that didn't quite work for me. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it was because the feathers were too short or something.

Kevin W. Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I don't know why they had to change the feathers at all. They looked just fine previously.
