colinturner95 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks a lot, Oregon. This is all your fault.Indeed. Oregon started this mess. Every stupid alternate helmet, every "one-off" jersey, every combo that minimizes or eliminates school colours in favour of black or various shades of grey, it's all Oregon's fault. They opened the floodgates and now we have....well, this...This is the result of the madness Oregon and Nike unleashed upon the world. WE WARNED YOU ALL! we.....we...warned...you all.....*sobbing*Ok yes Oregon did unleash the madness of the one off set on us, but at least Oregon has kept some form of their brand on their helmet. VTech is just running around looking at something, saying "looks good for a helmet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ok yes Oregon did unleash the madness of the one off set on us, but at least Oregon has kept some form of their brand on their helmet. VTech is just running around looking at something, saying "looks good for a helmet."Um, that last sentence pretty much describes Oregon, seeing as though they don't even have their logo on the side of their helmet anymore. Oregon just plain doesn't have a brand. It's just randomness designed to stand out in a crowd. That's not good branding.

GeauxColonels Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It looked like LSU put that new tiger head on their helmet, in place of the old traditional one. I could be wrong though.Doesn't look like it.That's an old picture 1 Lsu isn't wearing their new cut in the picture. 2 that auburn player is wearing gloves from 2 years ago.That SEC patch isn't 2 years old, is it?It must be. That pic is at Auburn and that's Eric Reid (plays for the 49ers now) trying to make the tackle.And it's definitely the same helmet decal for LSU that they've worn for years. The LSU Sports Twitter account only noted that the new logo will be used for basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhlyBoy Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 are we really going to start the "oregon doesn't have a Brand" vs "not having one look IS Oregon's brand" thing again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Can't wait until the last game of the season, when VT re-uses the Hokie Stone helmet, but sticks camo-print turkey tracks over them.

IceCap Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ok yes Oregon did unleash the madness of the one off set on us, but at least Oregon has kept some form of their brand on their helmet. VTech is just running around looking at something, saying "looks good for a helmet." Yes, Oregon's proven to be more reserved then most of their imitators, but the fact remains that they started the current trend that produced that VT helmet. You can't put the genie back in the bottle, and Orgeon's the one who rubbed the lamp in the first place. As Phil Knight looked on from the shadows, cackling like a madman.are we really going to start the "oregon doesn't have a Brand" vs "not having one look IS Oregon's brand" thing again? I just pointed out where an out of control trend (or series of trends, to be more accurate) started. Saying "Oregon started the crazy uniform trend(s) in NCAA football" is like saying "the sky is blue."

Lights Out Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I love how it's automatically Oregon's fault that Virginia Tech doesn't give a crap about their program's aesthetics anymore. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDmo Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'd argue that Oregon started the trend of helmets from Hydrographics Inc., it all started with the carbon fiber helmet years ago, now plenty of college and pro teams have an HGI helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This is Oregon's best look ever:Perfection.Yup.I remember watching this game last year and i was in awe. Everything about that uniform is perfect. The unique shades of green and yellow which the the little bit of black just complemented perfectly. The iridescent wings. I really hope they wear this combo again this year. This should be the combo they wear in their bowl game. By far my favorite Oregon combo and probably my favorite football uniform of all time.

ManCalledAmp Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 This page of the thread doesn't contain any Hokie Stone Helmet bashing yet.Just....no. I think I'm gonna go find those MTSU upper-chest-patched jerseys I ranted about a few days ago and cuddle them, maybe have a good cry.I said a few pages back that I didn't think I could take much more...and then THAT happened. Let's just take away all aesthetics at all. Since some people don't know how to use their crayons without eating them, wearing them, or melting them down to be reformed with glitter and holograms...now NONE OF US get to color.I hope all of these #swag kids are happy. YOLO is right...You Only Live Once, and that life ruined college football. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find a yard to make you get off of. I've got a few decades yet until AARP discounts kick in. Go Gators. Go Blue Raiders. Go Commodores. Go USC Trojans.Preds & Avs. Braves, Rays, & Dodgers. Titans, Colts, Broncos, Cardinals.

Midway Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You know what's even more meaningful to the school, the fans and the football program than wearing stones on your head? Looking like your damn selves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The VT helmet just stops at the middle and continues with different stones. It's like if you cut a PB&J in half and on the other side, you put half a hoagie.
