    I'm not from Oregon, but I like 'em. The colors have a long tradition with Nike and running and since Nike is HQ'd in Oregon...you do the math. As a runner, I enjoy the colors and the history behind them.

    You can read a little of the history here if you never heard of Steve Prefontaine or Bill Bowerman or of Oregon's rich track and field tradition.

    Bad analogy... it's more like hating the colors purple and gold but loving them because you love LSU. But I see your point.

    Oregon has 3 different helmets, 4 different style jerseys, and 4 different style pants. That's 48 different uniform combinations. That's not tradition that's a fashion show.

    Hell I know guys who have fewer combinations in their closet.

    plus the colors might be a tradition at Oregon, but the uniforms aren't.

    A school can't change something every season and say it's a tradition

    You are absolutely correct... I can't say that I enjoy all of their unis, but their "traditional" ones are fine with me.

    i know i was trying for a cheap laugh.

    but i actually used to like their old uni's with the yellow helmet and the green UO on it. but a few years ago, they got freaky and it was a novelty. Now, they're just over the top. I guess it's cool if you're a player to actually have your input in something like this but let's let the players do what they do best.
    ok that ends my way too long football fashion commentary.
