TimEOBrien Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 But you and I both know Phil Knight bought those uniforms, whether he gave them to Oregon for free, discounted or just through his massive alumni donations, Oregon wouldn't have those uniforms without Knight's company AND checkbook.

thespleenenator Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 And you see absolutely nothing wrong with turning college football into a monetary arms race. That's not compromising what little integrity the sport has left at all.It already is.But you and I both know Phil Knight bought those uniforms, whether he gave them to Oregon for free, discounted or just through his massive alumni donations, Oregon wouldn't have those uniforms without Knight's company AND checkbook.Is someone gets a free suit, that doesn't make it any less expensive looking. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

TimEOBrien Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you put an Armani suit on a bum, he's still a bum. If you put Tim Tebow in an 18 Colts jersey, he's not a better quarterback. Conversely, if you put Walter Peyton in a Peyton Hillis Chiefs jersey, he'd still be the greatest ever. Clothes don't make the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I just want to much more of the color-changing Oregon green. C'mon HGI, let's see that color changing mallard helmet.Beautiful. Good work HGI. I would like to see the same helmet without the giant chrome wings, just a simple yellow O. With how large and shiny the wings were it was hard to tell just how much the color changed from one end of the helmet to the other. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the last two Oregon uniform sets, but this new set makes them look like a bunch of clowns.Sometimes it is better to stick with an old clean cut than going for a futuristic look that looks like crap.

BrandMooreArt Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 im with Spleen here, i see the old templates as a cheaper kind of uniform. but its important to remember that it dosent really matter, because "normal" people dont look at a uniform and see templates and cuts, they just see a uniform. its kind of like me looking at cats. i dont know breeds of cats like i do dogs, i just look at a cat and see a cat.

It depends on what type of uniform you have that makes the uniform look professional. If you have a modern uniform like Oregon, then you're jersey will look good on the speed machine. If you have traditional uniform with striping, then it's probably best to use an older template, because you want those stripes to be big probably. You want shiny pants to match your helmet? Use an older template. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Of course you do realize that 99% of the people out there (including recruits) don't even know what or care what a template is? Walk down the street and ask 100 people the difference between two templates, and I guarentee you 100 of them are going to say, "They are two different teams". Hell, I follow uniforms etc, and I can't tell the difference between two templates. It either looks good, or it doesn't. UCLA in 1988 with full hoops and sleeves looks better than UCLA today. Oregon in 1988 or even 1995 looked better than they do today. I'm trying to think of a team today that looks better than they did 10-15 years ago, I can't think of one and these bad templates are part of it. There are teams like Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and Alabama that look just as good, but I can't think of any that look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, this has NOTHING to do with aesthetics. How good their designs are is irrelevant. I associate Oregon's look with big time money, and big time money, with professionals. Why you make fun of me?
