MAKE YOUR OWN NIGHTMARISH DUCKS ENSEMBLE
The Daily Oregonian has a fun widget on making your own nightmare of an Oregon Ducks uniform, which is a fine way to kill ten potentially productive and therefore harmful minutes of your day. The only uniforms we’ve ever been truly appalled by were the “Iron Duck” unis, and that’s just because the iron-grip pattern on the shoulders looked dated and ersatz macho the minute it came off the presses. The all-whites, though? Stunning.
Whatever the combo, they can’t possibly beat whatever those gentlemen have had vomited up on them by the soccer rugby fashion gods. Egads, my lad, that will take a gang of penicillin, some prayer, and possibly a pressure washer to clean up.

I believe that is a rugby team dressed in fairy, not soccer.

Why did you have to put up that picture in conjunction with a Ducks article? You’re gonna give those impressionable Nike lads something to think about.

Denver Bronco throwbacks make the Iron Duck look good.

Tzubear, you are correct, that’s Stade Francais, the main club in Paris. Watching a match on TV with them wearing that uniform requires a) 16 Tylenol, b) a bottle of Wild Turkey, or c) Both.

That uniform would even make Chuck Norris look gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that

Those jerseys look like a pair of sweet Umbros I had when I was about 12. I date those unis around 1990.

Man, those Stade Francais uniforms put Partick Thistle’s away shirts for this season to shame.

Egads!
I can imagine those uniforms would be highly distracting in the lineouts. The rest of us would be blinded and that team could ruck and maul with ease. And God Forbid I get into a scrum (I play at the hooking position), I’d probably be blinded.
And the Iron Duck uniforms make me want to vomit and burn anything associated with Nike. God, Oregon, why can’t you just stay old school?

Badger/Pizza- I take it Stade is going for street cred with the ghetto inspired street art look. How hip of them! (/uber sarcasm). I actually like the away jersey, just not on a rugby pitch. Maybe a UK club can show up stade by getting Banksy to decorate thier colors. If they can find him.
Backyardbrawler- a similer cocktail is reqiured to get through my regular day. Watching 15 men dressed in pink tie die running, ruckinh and malling at high speed would likely induce siezure. The French answer to Japanese Manga.
