Jersey Boys

The University of Oregon revealed their latest trendy uniforms for the upcoming football season. For those who sighed in relief that they were finally toning down their jerseys....guess again.

The Ducks will be using five different jerseys, four different pairs of pants, and four yes four different helmets.

They just could not be like other teams and have just one helmet. They decided the white and awful yellow helmet they used along with the traditional green was not enough. They nixed the less then mellow yellow helmets with a black helmet, and the retro looks like no one has a color TV style of gray and silver.

The new silver helmet to this look is a story by itself is it tries to create a somewhat chain linked look. It is either chain link or static like. static fits better with the black and white TV joke above.

The other big change is that the Ducks are not unique enough with the diamond plated shoulder pads. The only way to stand out even more is to replace the diamond look with the new winged shoulders.

Whether you love them or hate them Oregon does do a good job at getting the sports masses to talk about their look. while other teams just have outright awful looking uniforms (more on this topic another post) Oregon can be awful yet creative at the same time.
