Saturday afternoon I found myself sitting on my couch, mouth agape, rubbing my eyes wondering if what I was seeing was for reals y’all. Unfortunately, the uniforms the Oregon Ducks wore in their big game win against Oklahoma had to be real, because in my wildest opium dreams I could have never imagined the stamped steel look of their shoulders
and thighs and knees. There are probably people out there who think those uni’s are real sweet, and quite possibly it is cutting edge and will soon find its way to many college and pro teams, but I think they are ghastly. I wonder what comic book reading, urban youth aping, suburban nerd-turned designer conceived of that look? I say give it up Ducks, especially now that you are in the national spotlight, because you look like a team made from a loading dock, or a steel staircase or wharehouse floor.

Fitting for just another cog in the Nike machine.
Time only will tell if innovative or stupid. I offer the G-Men of Goshen College, manly in powder blue with a giant 'G' on their front.

With just a slight alteration, that number font could look like the numbers from Rollerball. That would be cool.
I heard that all University of California teams will now have to add some likeness to the Terminator on their uniforms, in honnor of Gov. USC has already anounced they will wear leather jackets - and the Golden Bears of UC Berkeley will just play naked.
