THey won't be happy until their uniforms actually glow in the dark and can keep the earth warm should the sun go out.

They aren't "new". They are the same helmets that were a part of the "6 month old" uniforms. They just hadn't been worn yet.

So the article is wrong...makes sense...not. So why does it say that they want to unveil them in the Bowl game, but the entire shipment has yet to arrive?

Doesn't really matter, the laughingstock continues. Their gear is lame and an embarrassment to CFB. And yet the tweakage continues at an alarming rate.

While I'm not necessarily a fan of OU's constantly changing unis from one derivation of hideous to another with the next derivation out-hideousing the previous, I gotta say I like these helmets.

We haven't changed helmets this year, from the same ones we've had since '98, and if you go look at the old articles from our preseason uniform change, that pissed you off before, you can read that we had added a white helmet and a yellow helmet, with flames).

The helmets were not mass produced until now.

So you added them but they weren't mass produced. So essentially, you had them in your wardrobe but you only had one or two of them? Was it anything like the red jersey your QB wears in practice to prevent players hitting him? "Hey everyone, don't hit the guy with the gold/green/yellow fire helmet."

Yeah, that makes sense. Besides this argument being semantics as to when it was added, I think it can ultimately be chalked up to another absurd publicity stunt.

EUGENE – The University of Oregon football team will utilize a new look in 2006 that promises to be unique in the world of college football as well as striving to enhance the performance of those players wearing them.

The Ducks’ game-day apparel will consist of four different colors of jerseys and pants to go along with three different helmets Oregon is expected to wear at some point during the coming season.

But of greater importance is the advanced design and technology of the uniforms will help to diminish the weight of the uniforms by 28 percent when dry and help make them 34 percent lighter under wet condiditions. The jerseys and pants also encompass a diamond-patterned grid on the shoulders and knees, respectively, to improve the durability of the product in areas susceptible to greater wear.

In addition to the green, yellow and white uniforms Oregon has employed in the past, it will add a predominantly black version to the wardrobe similar to the uniforms the Ducks unveiled in last year’s 56-14 win against Oregon State. The option of helmets Oregon will have available will expand from the one green version that it has worn since 1999 to an all-white variety and a third yellow helmet that is still in a developmental stage.

The new-look attire also will include “Oregon” inscripted down the left leg of all four pants while “Ducks” will appear on the front of the jerseys above the numbers to help further enhance the identity and exposure for the university.

The uniform designs are a result of a two-year process that involved Nike designers and Oregon alum Tinker Hatfield, vice president for special projects at Nike, Todd Van Horne, creative director of U.S. sport apparel, and a committee of the school’s past and present football players.

Players offered their input and sketches of what they envisioned the direction the uniforms would take, with the Nike designers developing those concepts into reality.

Oregon players involved in the process included wide receiver Cameron Colvin, tight end Tim Day, quarterback Dennis Dixon, tight end Ryan Keeling, free safety J.D. Nelson, tight end Dante Rosario and receiver Jaison Williams.

This marks the fourth significant evolution of football uniforms that Nike has developed for Oregon since they first designed the game-day apparel for the Ducks’ appearance in the 1996 Cotton Bowl. The first major redesign took place in time for the 1999 season, followed by a revision in 2003
Its honestly not a big deal to me if people want to make fun of the uniforms. I've never considered myself a traditionalist, in sports and I'm not losing any sleep over it. I'm simply pointing out the error made in thinking that we are changing helmets "yet again" from the new uniforms 6th months ago. This new helmet is, and was always, a part of that change.

So, feel free to make fun of it again, I'm just pointing out that you've already made fun of it 6th months ago.

USC switched to cardinal facemasks under Larry Smith, the he changed the helmet decal and was fired. JRII then changed back to the original decal and back to the gray facemask. After Carrolls first year he ditched the stripes on the sleeve to go back to the older stripe on the shoulder.
USC has always worn black shoes and has never put the players last names on the back of the jerseys

Do not ever post a link to 17 year olds unless it is really a link to "barely 18" chicks.

TIA.
