Oregon Ducks’ Uniform by Nike

I’m no football expert, not yet anyway. [Ever since I changed my home page to Yahoo, quite a few headlines on the sport has caught my attention.] But I am into sports apparel made through extensive research and superior synthetic materials that big sport companies claim went into the $50 shirt I’m wearing right now. (And a $200 light weight jacket? Seriously?)

Anyway, Nike did quite a job on designing the Ducks’ uniforms for the BCS Championship Game. For starters, I happen to like how the headgear has a metal swirl design combined with the fluorescent “O” gives a sharp focus.

For the rest of the outfit, the neon green is placed at strategically placed at the fastest moving body parts. The duck feathers on the shoulder stands out in this color scheme better than their previous uniforms, in my opinion. “Oregon is one of the fastest teams in the nation, and we wanted them to look fast,” Todd Van Horn, Nike’s top football uniform designer, tells us. I think they succeeded in do that, but I still don’t approve of any form of green on my feet as stylish. 

But personal feelings aside, they do look pretty fierce in the picture above. With the dark background the team kind of like aliens (such as Marvin Martian) bent on charging you down on the field. Hold that thought…I need to photo-shop that…

Sweet, now we just need a cloning machine…
