" In their ongoing quest to burn the retinas of anyone who watches them, the Oregon Ducks have unveiled the newest part of their continually changing look: helmets that change color depending on the angle from which they are seen. I'm glad no one's told them about Hypercolor t-shirts. The Ducks aren't sure yet if they'll wear them for their bowl game. They'd like to, but they've only received helmets for about half the team. I guess Nike's running low on color-changing crazy motherfucker paint. The plan appears to be the wear the new helmets along with their bright yellow jerseys and bright yellow pants when they take on BYU. I thought you should know now, so you'd have time to run to your optometrist before the Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl on December 21st. Within two years, I predict Oregon will be taking the field in uniforms that make them invisible."

12/18/2006 10:13:21 AM

12/18/2006 10:17:06 AM

I like em.. could you imagine a red like that? that'd look hot

chartruese (sp?) is butt ugly

12/18/2006 10:31:35 AM

It looks like it's got some kind of hot rod ghost flame paint job on their.

12/18/2006 10:42:52 AM

^ aha, yeah it does, looks like some OCC styling

Good thing we don't have these...Our QBs have enough trouble throwing it to the right color team without our helmets changing colors.

12/18/2006 11:02:34 AM

That's the worst looking helmet I have ever seen.

12/18/2006 11:10:36 AM

looks like a bowling ball with a facemask

looks like something from the 60s. nevertheless....BALLA AS FUCK

12/18/2006 12:43:52 PM

In related news, Nike once thought good ideas for sports team names were the Kansas City Wiz, Dallas Burn, Miami Fusion, Tampa Bay Mutiny, and Chicago Rhythm.

Needless to say, Nike's marketing department are a bit out of touch with reality.

12/18/2006 12:46:51 PM

those helmets are bad ass

Im guessing they are going to stick an O on them as well

12/18/2006 1:21:29 PM

i like them without the O

12/18/2006 1:24:04 PM

I want to see them live

they do seem kinda cool

12/18/2006 1:33:18 PM

reminds me of some kind of fruit, like a lime or something

12/18/2006 1:34:26 PM

this is what happens when nike owns your school.

shit looks like a bowling ball. however, i agree that our helmets would be hot in candy apple red.

[Edited on December 18, 2006 at 1:37 PM. Reason : ]

12/18/2006 1:36:57 PM

^with metallic glitter and white facemasks

12/18/2006 1:41:56 PM

I think they're hot

but the flame job is questionable

I like 'em without the "O" - and the helmets are 1000x better than the jerseys

EDIT: Just noticed the protruding "O" in the middle of the front - it's the same place where "ACC" is on our helmets and "Riddell" on NFL ones

you didnt read the article did you ? tard.

you have to be wearing an ocular device (ie special glasses) to see it invisible. to everyone else he looks like he's got a really faggy shirt on

12/18/2006 9:10:56 PM

looks like it should be on the side of some mexican's civic

pretty soon, Oregon's uniforms will make them completely invisible

please no. I don't need the football team lookng like a motorcycle. Plus, candy red isn't a NC State color.


I honestly believe that within Nike there is a bet to see how long it will take before Oregon says no to their stupid ideas.

12/18/2006 11:08:38 PM

^Its gonna be a LONG damn time since Nike is such a huge chunk of their revenue.

12/18/2006 11:19:42 PM

Phil Knight owns every Oregon affiliates' soul

12/19/2006 1:32:53 AM

wow...
just wow...
it's crazy... around the end of every season i seem to get the thought in my head "well, at least oregon's unis can't get any uglier"...

and every season Nike does something to prove me wrong...

12/19/2006 8:02:53 AM

if i remember correctly, its the team that wants (and helps design) the uniforms like this...they take pride in being different from everyone else. im sure nike offers some suggestions, but in the end, nike just does what its told.

Artical spoke of the helmets possibly not being ready for the bowl game but they have'em.
Sportcenter just did a hole blip on the Oregon unies and they did a lead in for the game. Showed the players sportin' the new lids. I like'em but agree they aren't for everybody. It def. took a bit of time for my eyes to adjust. :

12/21/2006 7:34:54 PM

they look like big ass jaw breakers.

12/21/2006 7:59:38 PM

I like how they look

12/21/2006 8:30:51 PM

my dad just said "that's the ugliest fuckin' shit i've ever seen!"

my mom said "why are they the ducks? that's not very ferocious. they should be the bears or something."

12/21/2006 8:38:29 PM

those uniforms look even shittier in HD

12/21/2006 9:25:23 PM

anyone notice that when the helmets get gashed in a hit the color becomes dark green (a little lighter than their old helmets)

just an observation, nothing really worthwhile was in this post

12/21/2006 9:56:56 PM

If they stick with those helmets for 15 years, they'll become classic.

However, Nike likes to change everything every year, so that's not happening.

12/21/2006 10:05:34 PM

So I missed it, why was Tark in the booth?

12/21/2006 10:41:40 PM

Time to Rebuild for next year

12/21/2006 11:21:42 PM

the helmets aren't the problem, it's that god awful shit on their shoulders and knees.

12/22/2006 12:01:59 AM

This proves the age-old lesson

ugly-ass uniforms don't win you games.
