OUT TO THE CUP
Please excuse us for the AM, but we’re off to watch the World Cup and see if the US can actually score a goal of its own against Ghana.
If you’re looking for something to do in the meantime, take a look at Oregon’s new unis. We quote Kool Keith from Dr. Octagon:
Dr. Octagon please come to the office come now
Oh fuck! Patient just died in room 105
Cirrohsis of the eye

Cirrhosis of the eye.

I’ve watched every UF coach since Ray Graves and Ron Zook ranked up there with the best. He may not have had Spurrier’s win %. I think his teams and game strategies are much better balanced than Spurrier’s. UF kept Pell for five years after a winless season. Roon Zook deserves better, I’m just glad he’s an Illini now.

When NCAA 2007 comes out, Oregon’s getting a revenge game.

Oh Steve, it can ALWAYS get worse…
They could add that effeminant horizontal back stripe from the Miami uniforms and the uni-shoulders from the UF and VT uniforms.

Oregon might be the team to be on NCAA 07 if they have those unis. Call it ugly-uniform-hypnosis, wear sunglasses, and demolish your opponet in a baby-vomit colored blur.

You just know Nike execs are kicking back in the design room going “you know, we’ve got Oregon by the balls–what craptacular design can we inflict on them this year?”
And in the pic Jonathan Tu posted–is that guy in white wearing #70, or is the glare just affecting my ability to read Atari numbers? He’s all of 5-9 and 165 lbs–why would he have a line number?

psuedosilent observer (and anyone else wondering),
as a duck alum – and fan – my reaction was…”well, they could’ve been worse…”
Really, it’s akin to stockholm syndrome. We’re hostages to Nike.
For example, a prototype of the helmets had been floating around for the original helmet design was ghastly…

UO isn’t Michigan. Or ND. Or USC. Or PSU. So there’s no real tradition we’re messing with. You find parts you like – the “O” is a pretty cool logo.
As a fan, I sit back, relax, and enjoy the flourescent hum of the uniforms every Saturday.

They love their reefer in Oregon, don’t they?

I don’t know about reefer, but they sure like being gay.

I have some bad news for the anti-soccer crowd. I know you may find it hard to believe, but they are still going to finish the world cup without the USA. And lots of people are still going to be interested in it.

I for one say ‘job well done’ to Ghana.
Given the way both teams played through the first three games, they have a better chance to beat Brazil.
Go Ghana. I hope they beat the USC of the soccer world.

Phil, how is that bad news for the anti-soccer crowd? They don’t care. Unlike the futbolista “if you don’t like it you just don’t understand, you neanderthals” group, the anti-soccer crowd isn’t trying to go to Brazil and convert them to anti-soccerism. The World Cup will go on, but relegated to the minimum of coverage (except Univision), as it should be. 5 minutes of highlights on SportsCenter is appropriate; even the most rabidly anti-soccer can deal with that.

Okay I love the idea of 4 uniforms and 3 helmets. I am a lifelong duck fan and these uiforms ARE embarrassing!
If they would have used normal numbers and left off the gooofy “steel plate” shoulders and knees, these might not be too bad. Sometimes having Nike as your banker is a bat thing.

I keep going back to that photo like a moth to a floodlight.
The Barcelona Dragons’ marketing department thinks the Ducks’ unis are “a little flashy.”

Hey! Well, I suppose there’s no defense and a lot of offense in both cases. But I don’t think that Ghana is Texas, to extend the metaphor, which is too bad.
“Well, I like the new facilities and they say the new law school is nice… but I think I need to grow my mustache back…”

Oh yes, they are the coolest uni’s in the history of college football. The best part?? the science behind them. New tech. that for now Nike makes sure only oregon has. The colors, font’s and such were designed by the players, which is why I find it hilarious when people say “how could the players want to play in those” lol.. GO DUCKS!!!

USC = Same classy uniforms
ND = Same classy uniforms
Michigan = Same classy uniforms
PSU = Same Classy Uniforms
Oregon = Looking for something that works.
Seriously, Oregon may have a chance with these unis since the other teams will be busting out laughing before every snap. Easily among the worst looking uniforms of all time. And about that “zero” on the helmet…….
