OREGON’S UNIFORM PROPOSALS, 2009
This is just the tip of the iceberg for Oregon’s uniforms in 2009, really. Wings? Drake, pleeeeaaaaase. There are so may other ways this could go well, and by well I mean “with Oregon fans gouging out their eyes with plastic concession stand forks before kickoff.”
Like a mad hippo with radioactive paint on his ass. For instance: tackling LeGarrette Blount is hard already, but have you tried it in the dark? As part of Oregon’s revolutionary new effort to be the greenest football program in the nation, join the Ducks for the night game against Purdue, where the “Lights Out For the Earth” night will feature college football’s first light-free night game!

PS. Don’t tell Purdue.
PPS. Don’t worry about the health risks of the possibly radioactive dye used in these uniforms. The Burmese tykes who stitched these together seemed just fine last time we saw them, and they were practically rolling in the stuff.
These are strictly non-denominational, of course. Holidays got you down? BAM! Festivity in cleats comin’ atcha! No way you spend another Christmas with scotch in one hand and a handgun in another with Oregon’s joyous new holiday attire, the Festivus Shockers. Chip Kelly’s offense: so effective you can literally tie a huge red light to someone’s head and it still works!

God rest ye Merry Gentlemen, indeed: the headpieces on these things weigh thirty pounds alone, and heat up to 170 degrees. Try cooking an egg in one if you don’t believe us!
Bustin’ Loose! The literal may seem whimsical, but the “Quack Attack” edition will not only fluster defenders with gales of crippling laughter, but will prove to be nearly untackleable as a triple layer of detachable feathers keep defenders from getting a sure grip on Oregon ballcarriers.

Also, the last thing a defender sees before a knockout hit will be a cloud of feathers heading toward him. Intimidation, gentlemen and ladies! That’s what we’re shooting for here.
The Duck is Dead! Long Live the Duck! For the urbane, artistic crowd, we’ll throw in the Dada Duck.

You’d be surprised at the force that Urinal Helmet can bring. I’m sorry, you asked something? Of course it has an iPod in it. If you actually want to piss in it, though, you’ll have to buy the drainpipe separately from an Apple store or dealer, and then only buy the Apple-compatible pipe provided by your Apple store or dealer.
Finally, Our Most Addictive Uniform Yet. Ultimately, Nike has determined that the problem with any football player’s uniform is that it and the player in it will be tackled. The solution? Create a uniform people would rather fiddle with than tackle. The revolutionary answer?
The Bubble Wrap Warrior 1.0
We’re just beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible here, people.

Oregon should just renamed themselves “Nike University.” Really. I guess when your football team has no real chance at BCS greatness, you have to have a gimmick.

Interesting that Oregon is keeping up this sadistic arms race for the worse college football uniforms. Unfortunately nobody else is playing. This must be an offensive strategy on their part to completely circumvent any possible competition.

Deleted “bubble-wrap trap” scene from Saw IV
Victim: “where am I?”
Jigsaw: “would you like to play a game?”
Victim: “why is there a bomb strapped to my chest? and why is a sheet of bubble-wrap in the corner?”
Jigsaw: “If you pop any of the bubbles on the sheet, the bomb straped to your chest will deton—”
Victim: (explodes)

This article is great. I’m a huge Oregon fan, and my opinion on these uniforms is simply “look what they had on LAST year”. So, technically its an improvement. Oh and one other thing, why is everybody so butthurt that Sugar Daddy Phil Knight gives so much to the U of O? He is an alumni, ran track there, started his business there, and became uber-rich there. Get over it already.

Hey, warehouse, no one is “butthurt.” We just think it’s funny that Knight uses Oregon’s football team as his personal whore, and Oregon, not getting the joke, thinks this makes them Pretty Woman.

The entire 2001 Oregon football team is holding on line 4, and they sound marginally irate.

1st “Butthurt” is such a west coast thing to say. I’ve never heard that phrase from anyone that wasn’t from Cali or Oregon. Just a funny observation.
2nd It’s kind of sad that Oregon is so worried about what their uniforms look like. They should be concentrating on taking recruits from USC, not how many variations of green and yellow they can come up with.
3rd SEC! SEC! SEC!

Sounds like Gator fans have short memories and are jealous of Nike doing more for Oregon than Gatorade did for UF. While all we at tOSU have is a delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter that can be consumed in one bite.

@16
I don’t know if you knew this but our uniforms are part of the reason we get the recruits we do. Think of all the publicity this gave us. It is the top story on every CFB blog, mentioned on ESPN multiple times and people keep talking about it. Guess what? The players love the unis, that’s why Masoli, Dickson and others helped design these. So keep talking about this is over and over again and keep giving us publicity that allows us to land players like LaGarrette Blount, who as a backup scored 17 touchdowns and ran for over 1,000 yards. Lets all keep talking about our new unis, we appreciate the free publicity.

So typical that the one Oregon fan comes up with a “you’re jealous” taunt. Yeah we are envious of the money just not the whoredom and arrogance. If it makes you feel good that you’re entire AD is built on the backs of a bazillion Asian teenagers then be my guest. The ducks are corporate shills. If the truth is too much to bear get in your Prius, smoke some hippie lettuce and drink a latte.
We will do the heavy lifting and attempt to get this country back on its feet all while winning several more NCs just for kicks.

SeattleDuck says:
@24. I think you missed my point entirely. . All I was trying to say is that Oregon fans could really care less about what people like you say. And by people like you I mean anyone who is not a top-flight D1 HS/JUCO football player. If our uniforms allow us to get people like Darron Thomas, Blount and put us in the running for kids such as Pryor, Boyd, Brown then why wouldn’t we like it? So you’re saying that the Gators wouldn’t want any of those prospects?? Odd, since I’m pretty sure the Gators offered scholarships to at least half of those players I listed. Finally, our let our fearless leader some it up for you:
“We won 10 games last year and finished ranked ninth in the country,” Kelly said. “If people think Oregon is all about the uniforms then wait until Saturdays in the fall.”

Crabapple Buck – Gatorade has provided over $100M in royalties to UF (and still counting). I’ll take that money given to the school over what Nike might pony up to our football team. I guess the Athletic Dept. makes most of its’ revenue by winning championships. The same is probably true for LSU.

haybeav says:
I hate to regurgitate what DG just said, but to say “We get kids to come here because the uniforms are cool” is pretty freakin’ lame.
Just say that out loud to yourself: “We get kids to come here because the uniforms are cool”.
And please spare us the Dennis Dixon argument. That’s the same thing as saying “If Andre Smith has played againist Florida, Alabama would have been in the Title game”. This is coming from a Bammer…

Stick to cross country. All your uniform changes do is make you look more and more ridiculous each time you get your butthole expanded by USC.

As said earlier-”look at the unis last year”. I always hated the diamond plating. As for Nike and Uncle Phil-well we got a renovated stadium, a new hoops arena, and a new baseball stadium from his largesse. He aint folksy like good ol T. Boone but we’ll take him.

Methinks Phil Knight must have been a Todd Rungren fan. Those wings look similar to the ones he had when he was doing the eqyptian “RA” thing. In general I like Oregon’s unis. They scream “blow me, bitches!” I do however believe Oregon should use duck bills rather than wire face guards. Try to grab onto that shit, fuckers.
As for fugly, I don’t think anyone will ever top Syracuse.
