UUOTD-Thursday


Oregon's ugly uniform combinations would make great fodder for an entire web site. I wonder if www.oregonuglyuniforms.com is available?

Tonight, the guys from Nike unveiled a psychedelic-looking new helmet for the Ducks. It is gold and/or green, and appears in multiple shades depending on the angle and the lighting. In tonight's Las Vegas Bowl, the Ducks wore green uniforms with those steel-looking things on the shoulders and pants. Ugly.

Deadspin.com says it would be cheaper for Oregon to simply buy LSD for everyone in the crowd. I don't endorse drug use at all, but it is obvious that someone at Nike was under the influence of an illegal substance when they designed these things.

I like green and gold. They are the colors of my alma mater, probably a polar opposite of the University of Oregon. Oregon and Nike are doing some really ugly things with these colors, and are bringing shame to them. It's really sad.

I love the helmet. I think it's funky and great in an almost Pimp My Ride-ish way.

I don't get the steel look on the unis, though. They could have pulled together a cooler uni to go with the greatness of that helmet.
