infrared41 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The standard double O helmet was the one constant that held together a fractious and ever changing identity. Without it, I think Oregon suffers from poor identity and bad. (yes, "bad" is a noun in that sentence.)But I shouldn't even be having this argument/conversation with you because clearly you're an irrational person, what with your Chief Illiniwek avatar - a super racist mascot that infamously shucked and jived it's way into NCAA obliteration and yet silly white Illini fans cling to the last vestiges of the racism of their youth.1. Wouldn't "bad" be a verb in that sentence? 2. Indians don't "shuck and jive." We drink a lot and live on reservations. Get your racist stereotypes straight.

TimEOBrien Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 If Chief Illiniwek is a racist symbol (not mascot), then why is the current Chief Illiniwek a Native American?Ok, I started this so I'll stop it. Sorry everybody, shouldn't'a taken that shot at Illiniwek. back to NCAA unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimEOBrien Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Why does the black alternate have an Oregon "shield" logo on the chest, while the others just feature the standard O logo?Is black supposed to be all "military" and "hard?" They get a shield?The discrepancy bugs me.They probably all have the shield, the Rose Bowl Unis did, it's just probably hard to see from the low quality of the image.EDIT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxColonels Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those are easily my favorite Oregon jerseys in quite some time. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Not another version of the ugliest helmet ever made! Oregon has gone off the deep end!It was nowhere near close to the ugliest helmet ever madeThat looks nothing like the nd helmet Seriously though I think Tulsa takes the cake.I'm liking this set I just hope they have like carbon pattern on the black jerseys. That light grey looks kinda cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimEOBrien Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So what's the deal with Oregon leaking this picture late last month?That made it look the the double O helmet might be the primary helmet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So what's the deal with Oregon leaking this picture late last month?That made it look the the double O helmet might be the primary helmet again.I doubt they'd get rid of the double O helmet. That has started to become iconic IMO. The new green-winged helmet is probably just another alternate Oregon has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 USC updating to Speed Machine UniformsI'm surprised they didn't switch sooner. Seems like they're one of the high profile Nike schools. good to see they didn't change much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini1 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 USC updating to Speed Machine UniformsI'm glad they switched to the new template. Their shoulder stripes always looked bad on the old template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wILL-INI Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 USC updating to Speed Machine UniformsI'm glad they switched to the new template. Their shoulder stripes always looked bad on the old template.I really like the way these shoulder stripes are looking on the flywire template. Colts, SMU, USC. "Classic" does not mean it gets a free pass for being bad design.Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandMooreArt Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 i think we need to see the whole Oregon package before making any judgments about it. if anyone is going to surprise us its them. they could have a couple of winged helmets and a couple of the O helmets. im pretty excited to see it all together GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
