shaydre1019 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Full look at the uniforms. They really do bring back memories from that season, which turned around Oregon's trajectory as a program.The black shoes and white socks are a really nice touch.

WSU151 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Oregon throwbacks are pretty great! Love that look. However, the pants should have the UO logo on the left leg, not the right leg. Mistake by Nike.There's enough things right with them to overlook that and the number font differences. As with any retro, if you can get about 70-80% of an original right, then most fans won't notice that much of a difference.True, and I guess there is a small chance that the promo photo is not quite correct and the real pants will have it on the left leg.

Bmac Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 The Gray Ghost thing is cool and all, but couldn't they have still kept some orange on the uniform? https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webfooter Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It's funny how much Oregon fans love to celebrate that interception, instead of perhaps the coaching changes (philosophy, recruiting) that actually turned the program around.I agree, it's a pivotal moment but I'm getting tired of going to UO events and seeing Kenny Wheaton be like 68% of the pregame video montages. Throw a little Joey Harrington or LaMichael James in there, for crying out loud.Wht does it say that I have no idea what this interception is, who made it, or against whom?Apparently Ducks can't hear. As I too would like to know the answer to this question...It's a famous play that occurred in 1994 against 9th-ranked Washington where Oregon CB Kenny Wheaton picked off UW QB Damon Huard at the 3-yard line and returned it 97 yards for a game-clinching TD. That win helped Oregon propel Oregon to its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1958. It's also famous locally because of the call made by long-time radio announcer Jerry Allen.

I have no idea why he decided to describe him as a gray ghost though. I guess because the other team couldn't touch him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
