Seriously Oregon, What the Hell is Going On?

I've never been to Oregon, but I've always had a good impression of the state. I picture natural beauty, the ocean, Lewis and Clark, Portland "The Rose City," and the Columbia river. I don't usually picture people wearing crazy freak clothes. I'm not even talking about all the hippies out there, that's cool, they are much better dressed than people with a connection to the Oregon Ducks. I know Nike pays you guys a lot of money, but you can say, "You know what Phil Knight, I think we're going to pass on that crazy storm trooper mustard colored uniforms, can you show me something not totally insane?" I wasn't bothered by your whining about not being in the BCS because Notre Dame was overrated and you should have been there. But did you seriously think that you, Oregon, could beat a team dressed in classic, tough, non-ugly uniform like Oklahoma? Of course your quarterback threw a pick on the game-winning drive, he was wearing this! Everyone in the world knows that green and yellow is the worst color combo in history, yet you put as much of these two colors in your uni's as possible. The basketball uniforms are nothing to be happy about either.

Maybe since your campus looks like this you guys feel like you need to inject some ugliness into your lives. But please knock it off, it hurts my eyes to watch you on tv.

More on Oregon's uniform woes can be found on ESPN.com where Paul Lukas' writes brilliantly on all aspects of uniforms. Also thanks to him for the Oregon band picture.

PS: Apparently the band uniforms have numbers on the back, just like the players.
