On the new Oregon uniforms: I'll withhold judgement until I see them on the field, but my initial reaction is that the material the numbers and shoulders are made of reminds me of the fabric futuristic space suits were made of in 70s movies.

Here's my post about Oregon's uniforms. Love the design, hate the template. Also, if they would've matched greens I would've been in love with the uniform regardless of the template. But now it's a bad to so-so look. It's so stupid how Oregon has so many different shades of Green (Apple green, Forest Green, the Lime Green). To where they have a uniform that incorporates all of those shades, and it looks like crap.

no no no Texas Tech. Red Raider on helmet is too dark (and I'm over the uni number on one side of the helmet thing too) and Grey unis look bad against a white uni wearing opponent (what's wrong with some red? )

I am sore,wounded, but not slain

I will lay down and bleed a while

And then rise up to fight again

I'd like the uniform matchup here is ASU went Maroon/Maroon/Gold and Texas Tech would do away with those silly helmets. ASU could do the same too.

I think the problem with Oregon's colors is that when Nike had them in the BCS Natl. Championship, they wore no school colors, remember? Carbon and VOLT. That "lime green." Since then, volt has become Nike's de facto color. I've got tons of volt stuff because it all matches and there's tons of it.

The problem then becomes, besides forest green vs. kelly green , the fact that volt is in many ways a combination of yellow and green. It's neon. So when you have kelly green, forest green, lightning yellow, volt, silver, carbon, black, and white competing ... you almost forget which color is which.

On his sweatbands, are the "O" and swoosh volt or yellow? I would say yellow, but at this point, it's so confusing. It's the volt component that really gets to me about Oregon.

I love Sparky. He has a certain charm to him that is perfect for college athletics.

That being said, ASU's rebrand is great. Slapping the pitchfork on both sides of the helmet and maybe replacing the ASU on the sleeves with numbers are the only changes I would make.

the volt was a one off color that was used in their NC game and pro combat the next year, they haven't used volt in a uniform since, that is obviously yellow not volt, and the green is a candy apple green, and the helmet is a darker green

I really liked Sparky but tbh the pitchfork is a really strong mark for ASU moving forward and I dont even mind the oversized logo on one side helmet - if only the numbers on the other side were something else instead like a small monogram.

But at least I'd keep Sparky in the rotation purely for throwback purposes.
