Oregon has shown the football world you can have 3 different colored helmets. So why not? I honestly believe that Oregon just tries it's hardest to be SO outlandish that it gets them publicity. There's no way that the "powers that be" can truly enjoy watching those..........creations.Speaking of our uni's.....is it just me or does the green in our uniform seem to change colors on the road? What I mean by that is at home we wear a dark green uniform, like a hunters green, nearing a black green. But then I see us on the road sometimes....specifically the Pitt game comes to mind and the green pants and numbers look "green" like crayola crayon green. Not dark at all. I knoiw it is probably just the lighting or the cameras but I wondered if anyone else thought this.I think it's just the white jersey that makes the green "pop". You gotta remember that when a dark colored jersey gets wet(sweat, water), it gets even darker. The pants arent as conducive to sweat(besides the lineman getting swamp ass), and theyll appear lighter. Tada!That and maybe my 1 year old has been messing with the color functions on TV remote. Anyway, I saw your pictures of the Pitt game on the link to your other post about the UnderArmour jerseys and in the pictures the pants appear as the same "dark green" I'm accustomed to seeing at home. Yet, I swear on TV, the green I see makes us look like Marshall. It looks just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 they wont change the helmets....they just did that a few years ago. No they didnt. umm...yes they did. Really?! yep 1) Facemasks are screwed on, they can be changed easily 2) The logos are, I believe, essentially decals. When the logo changed I don't think the color of the helmet changed... Need to get some pics to compare. MikeG? Do you have any pics of the helmet from before the logo change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little tweaks maybe, but we kind of established ourselves nationally and changing the look might confuse people...It sounds dumb, but seriously...And there's nothing wrong with our uniforms anyways...

(by the way, that helmet that you present is completely inaccurate...but it actually is what we SHOULD have had.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliabull Posted November 28, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 213 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/05/2002 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The Oregon (and Oregon State) uniforms are underwritten by Nike, an Oregon-based company. The company has used them to try unusual ideas in all sports -- if you watched last year's College World Series, the OSU gray jerseys featured white lettering across the front with gigantic front numbers.I would expect Under Armour to make tweaks, but significant tweaks, in the USF unis. And as always, I will hope for the abandonment of the monochrome look -- and better helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
