Tonight, the college football season began, a harbinger of fall. Oregon opened their season at Boise State, on the smurf turf. Full Disclosure: We are Beaver Believers... but honestly, not Duck haters. We generally root for both teams except in the civil war. Oregon has a rich history of ugly uniforms. I suspect that they think, since they have an "in" at Nike, that their uniforms are "sick", and the rest of us just don't appreciate them yet because of our retarded sense of gridiron fashion. Scratch that- I don't suspect it, I know it. Each year, the uniforms are unveiled to much fanfare and media hoopla. Nike and the UO Athletic department tell us about new, high-tech materials (this year, the D-rings on the pants are titanium, not steel)
and modern design options-all fashioned for optimal football performance.
This year, the players have 5 jerseys, 4 helmets and 4 pants options... 80 possible combinations. for 16 games. All 80 are ugly. But any that involve that yellow jersey are particularly heinous.
They can't fool me. Those uniforms are u-g-l-y and they don't got no alibi. Wings? Nike says they aren't just decorative, they are abrasion-resistant. So they are slippery wings.
Look at the numbers. Don't they look like they were put on with colored duct tape? They are made of some special material, much lighter than the usual sewn-on numerals. In this case- lighter equals uglier.
Listen, I wish Oregon all the luck this year. I hope they do well and take second in the Pac10. But, man, those uniforms are ugly.
Apparently, there's a really fine line between innovation and fashion faux pas. I think they crossed the line and left innovation behind.
ReplyDeleteIt's better than the uniforms that had the screen printed stamped aluminum pattern that you normally see on those 'genetic compensation' trucks that some guys drive.
