Oregon's new uniforms are Friday the 13th Bad...

What happens when your tradition is bad taste...


     I don't want to sound insensitive in a era of political correctness.  In fact, I love the people of Oregon. It is a great State. Portland is the best city on the West Coast. Eugene, Oregon is a great town. It is like a hipper version of Tuscaloosa. In Tuscaloosa we like to drink beer. In Eugene, they like to... how to say this? Well, you can't drink a plant. That must be the answer to the question - What NCAA member has worst looking uniforms and why would anyone do this? Oregon has won that award hands down for the last three bowl games, although Boise State didn't go down without some  laughter. But this season the Ducks have hit the pinnacle of bad taste and proof that you should never do anything while smoking weed. The uniforms that the Ducks will wear in the Rose Bowl could only be worn in Southern California. Look at the photo. The player appears to be a young Darth Vader before he found his black cape. The uniforms are the zenith of ugly. This is the something that will send young children screaming and running into the night. "Well, I kinda like them," said an old friend. Are you crazy? Have you run out of your prozac? Kinda liking the look of these uniforms is like saying I kinda like nuclear fallout...


    Look, the school's mascot is Donald Duck. The Oregon Ducks. Seriously, that must be embarrassing. The only reason the BCS championship was close was because the Auburn Tigers finally found someone  they could laugh at. But we should count our blessings. What if Oregon and TCU played in bowl game? Oregon would wear what ever the hell type of uniform you call that, and TCU wore those solid purple uniforms that make the team look like a spilled bottle of Nexus. Take it just one step further - What if they played the game in Boise or Eastern Washington? I'll tell you that hysteria would follow. Television color settings would be so screwed up that Sony would swear someone stole all their default codes. This whole uniform situation makes you wonder if a convicted  Pimp got into a work release program in Oregon somehow. I don't understand why any school would wear something like that and be serious about anything but Halloween or a casting call for a new Friday the 13th movie. Let us all hope that the fashion police say enough is enough. The NCAA needs to do something about all this. It is one thing to buy a quarterback because it only hurts a few schools. These uniforms might cause mental imbalance in millions of college football fans. Perhaps the military could give rifles, send them to Afghanistan and either scare the Taliban to death, or watch them die laughing. Clearly, the Costume department at Oregon is smokin' something and it's not Lucky Strikes. Thank heavens for Crimson and White.  Just old regular Crimson and White which has been worn by 13 national championship teams and are getting dry cleaned for number 14.
