Oregon Unis 2012

Oregon showed their official jerseys for the 2012 season, and the only minimal surprise is that the wings actually take over the entire shoulder pad.  Other than that, nothing really new from the Rose Bowl set, just a lighter "throwback" green color.  Thanks to Nike Inc. and Uni-Watch.
Grade: B+
Like the feathers better than the past and love the number on the sleeves.

The Rest of Oregon's Set

Yellow, black and "old" green.  Black with the silver looks good.  Match those with the carbon lids and pants.  Hopefully they get with yellow pants and hats this year.  These wings look better than the Air Force inspired diddies they have had the past few years as well.  Nothing to outlandish, yet. Grade: B

Here's the helmet:

Official Oregon Green Jersey

This is what the Ducks will wear when they go with their standard green shirt.  It first debuted in the Rose Bowl but had a giant patch on it and I wasn't sure if it was a special Rose Bowl jersey or just a preview the this year's. 

The silver Air Force wings are gone and there is an addition of sleeve numbers, which I both like.  They are using extra material like they did in the early 2000s (and I guess you could count the diamond plates too) that are in the form of wings which I guess works...but for Oregon, this is pretty tame. 

I am suprised the numbers weren't rejected due to the fact that they are hard to read.  Black on dark green is tough enough, but with the metallic finish on them, it's almost impossible at night with the lights.  I also wouldn't mind that wing design on the pants in some fashion, on the knees like the diamond plates or down the side at a stripe...I think it would look cool as the same color but with a different glossy finish.  No word as to whether or not their chrome lids will be used more or just once like the best helmet of all time, the Holiday Bowl la flama blanca, which needs to be put in NCAA '13 like yesterday.

Anyway, what I am really using this for is to see if I can embed a tweet into this thing...
