Winning Isn't Everything to Oregon

The Oregon Ducks have been ushering in a new style of performance for the past ten years, but after they shook hands with NIKE, they started ushering in a new style of self expression as well.  They've always been an eccentric group of athletes, and now they finally have a chance to showcase that nationwide.  These guys may be down in the dumps after last night's loss to LSU, but I say at least they looked good doing it!  Did you see those jerseys? It looked like a cross between Tron Legacy and a Storm Trooper.  Take a look...

                                           


Ever since they partnered up with Nike in 1996, they've been putting out the craziest arrays of their school colors.  Bill Bowerman, founder of Nike, coached track at Oregon back when Steve Prefontaine was still owning races.  Nike has roots in the Oregon history, so it only made sense.  And let's be honest with ourselves, for all the kids that watched that game I bet more than half would choose Oregon over LSU as a school of choice, despite the loss.  Kids don't care as much about the team's record, as they do the threads that come along with that team.  College Football is a business, and Oregon has the best marketing team.  I've always seemed to dig the ducks', so here's a football fashion tribute to them..

Whether they win or lose, the Ducks' look good doing it.  I'll tune in every week, probably not to watch their extremely productive offense(considering the new injury developments), but to figure out jersey I want to buy next.  Go Ducks!
