Nike & Oregon Prove Blindness

If you were lucky enough to miss the Oregon-Utah game this weekend your eyes can thank you. Nike and Oregon continue their experiments in bad design with another set of questionable uniforms, which are a minor improvement over the 2007-2008 collection of horrors. Each year Oregon seems to refine their school colors, which have gone from green and yellow to chalky green, black, pastel yellow, and carbon.

The problem with the game against Utah wasn't so much the uniform design as much as how Oregon decided to use them. Apparently a group of people at Oregon put their heads together and decided it would be a great idea to mix and match parts of each uniform. I'm completely blown away that someone thought this was a good idea and let it on the field!
There are so many things going on here, I think I actually threw up in my mouth a little when I turned the game on. They did a piece on Oregon's "uniforms" during the game, and apparently the equipment manager fields a number of complaints from fans that the numbers are unreadable, which as you can see is the least of their problems. My biggest concern is Nike's continuing campaign to ruin college football uniforms (remember those long sleeved undershirts they had a few years back at Florida, Virgina Tech, and USC?!) and their use of Oregon as ground zero. I'm actually frightened to see what kind of abortion they come up with in 2010.
