UUOTD-Friday


If there were a traveling trophy for UUOTD, the University of Oregon would get it. The same folks that gave us the putrid football uniforms are now giving us bad basketball uniforms. The Wife suggested I post this bad look.

The Oregon Ducks are having a good year in hoops, in spite of their loss last night to UCLA in Pauley Pavilion. I caught part of this game last night, and saw the ugly two-tone road uniforms. Gross! Once again, teams that do not have black as a primary color should not wear black. Plus, the Ducks had this ugly gray trim down the side of the uniform. Those colors do not look good, especially with the yellow trim.

The Ducks and Nike are joined at the hip. It may be hard to tell where Nike stops and the Oregon athletic department starts, and vice versa. Nike is playing a bad joke on Oregon by sticking them with these uniforms.

An idea came from an anonymous poster using the name Bob Huggins. After looking at the Kings' gold uniform, he said he was going to gouge both eyes out. He made the comment that some uniforms are uglier than others.

With that in mind, each ugly uniform from here on out will have an eye-gouge rating. This one is worthy of one eye gouge.

Ugh!

Once again, I'm not sure where you are coming from. I think this is a pretty decent uni and like the black with the grey and the yellow/gold off-sets it all. It pops!

I know you are not a fan of the black uni from a school who doesn't wear that color, but I'll make the exception for the ducks so they don't have to put up with the green on gold or vice-versa.

I like green and gold!

One thing for the Ducks, though: At least they don't have those steel-looking spike things that their football uniforms have.

It's only one eye-gouge, so there are worse uniforms out there.
