That being said, I'm sad the Ducks ditched yellow pants. I was waiting for the one game where they went all yellow and completely befuddled the announcers--it was all they could talk about.

They've done it before, albeit with the green helmet.

I know they have. Perhaps I should have said, "the one game next season", rather than "the one game". When they had yellow pants, didn't they pull out the the full Lightning look at least once every season?

That's somewhat right. A player who is drawn to uniforms and Nintendos in locker rooms might not have his head in the game. Of all the things a player SHOULD be thinking of when he signs a letter of intent (eg coaching staff, history, success in the pros, team atmosphere, god forbid academics, etc.), uniforms are way down on the list and should be pure fluff. I would, in fact, rather have a lower ranked smash mouth style player who has a chip on his shoulder and has something to prove than a player who goes to UO primarily because they want to wear a particularly colored or winged outfit.

To be clear, not all Duck players are drawn to UO because of the uniforms. They consider other things on that list that are more important and make a decision for the right reasons (even if going to UO really should ALWAYS be considered a huge mistake -- KIDDING, well kind of). If a player picks UO based primarily on UO outfits, then yeah, they probably are a headcase worth avoiding.

Exactly. Not to mention the "ratings" system isn't all it's cracked up to be...so, yes, if a "higher rated" player wants to go there because of the uniforms, by all means, take him.

I love the new helmet. I actually like these a lot better than the diamond-plating.

I also enjoy reading the reactions of rival fans. It wasn't that long ago when Oregon wasn't on a high enough stage to draw the attention they get now.

Any D1 school that has 14 million different versions of a clown looking uniform is going to get some pub. Just be thankful you have Nike in your back pocket or you'd be a worse program than the Beavs by far.
