What is the "uniform surprise"?

[DuffHouse12]

You have to do it over a substained amount of time and I'm not talking about 5-7 years but for over a decade to be remembered in the same breath as ND, Bama, Texas, USC and a few others.

i dont mean to say that they have the same status on the "College Football Olympus" but i dont think thats their goal. They just want to be the "team of the future" just look at their revolutionary offense and "high tech" uniforms.

I see what you mean about the uni's, but from an offensive stand point, there's always something new and revolutionary that comes up and defenses usually end up adjusting to them. The teams with good defenses have already shown Oregon's offense can be stopped.

but of course they will keep evolving and adapting to keep ahead of the defenses..who knows what they will be doing in 5 years time?? Its not their playbook that brings them success its the program as a whole.

Uniform surprise of the game is the ND kid pissing on the bama ele on the side of the helmet!!!!

I feel like everyone should have a mullet wig on for the game under their helmets. To confuse Bama.

[FLDomer]

It looks like a cheap Christmas ornament, like the love child of Oregon's chrome helmet and Notre Dames helmets!

 

[NDTH91]

I like it...

I agree.

It's too close to our established tradition.

Navy, BC, etc get a pass due to tradition also.

Why encroach?

Overkill.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Overkill.

Heard they are real gold, and weigh close to 75 pounds each.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Overkill.

Oregon's chromed wing helmets look so much better. These just seem like a ploy to get in on the craze. You can't go too shiny or too dull with gold, you can really screw it up. I.E. Notre Dame helmets until last year.

 

[ThePiombino]

Facemask is a tad overboard IMO.

Gold facemask too. Don't like that.

 

[dshans]

On a bright, shiny day they'll blind the fans and wreak havoc with the cameras ...

 

[Buster Bluth]

Those a gaudy. Notre Dame's are classy.

Its not like they will be wearing them every week. I see these being used once, maybe twice. I've personally always liked Baylor's unis.

Might this actually help their awful defense?
