The ugliest uniforms in all of college football have to be that of the Oregon Ducks.
To break it down, black and green, and even yellow, are not bad colors. They have been used together for years by other teams.
Black or white is an essential part of any team’s color scheme, and you would think this basic idea would be hard to mess up. Yellow is a bright and pleasing color, there should be nothing dreary about that.
Well congratulations Ducks, you have managed to turn three of the most basic colors into a combination of ugly and fugly.
The first problem with this ill-dress is the ridiculous patterns on the shoulders of every player. I am not exactly sure what is trying to be accomplished here, but whatever it is, the design fails miserably.
The Ducks used to cover this area with a design that looked a lot like tread marks. Is your intention to look like you lost a battle with an automobile before the game with those skid marks?
Well, Oregon came to their senses and dropped the horrific design, but just as quickly lost their design sense again when they added wings to the shoulders. Yes, I am serious, wings.
My best guess is someone was either drinking Red Bull at the time or seriously thought a literal interpretation of a duck was appropriate. Are they trying to insinuate the football team can fly, well if so, sign me up.
Even so, these wings cover the shoulder pads on each side, and look like they extend from the neck area. Wings coming out of your neck is a rather odd concept if you ask me. Ask any eight year old who dressed up as Tinkerbell for Halloween and she can tell you where the wings go.
I am all for jazzing up a uniform, so while you’re at it maybe you can tie a few bows on the edges as well, because that would make more sense than that ridiculous design.
What is wrong with leaving the shoulders bare? I think there is little that could help this uniform after they already use the most unflattering yellow and forest green, but at this point it might be worth a shot.
The new uniforms have even moved beyond these colors and the wings to include colors like silver for their numbers on the jersey. How do silver, black, and yellow match? Sounds like the colors for a completely different team. Sorry Ducks, but just adding another color in for funnies is not going to solve your uniform issue.
Maybe one day Oregon will come to its senses and just roll with plain and simple green and black. No frills or fuss necessary… back to basics is not a bad thing.
