Oregon Football: No surprise, new 2021 jerseys are absolute fire

New year, new threads. Oregon football has released its new 2021 season look and, no surprise here, the Ducks' jerseys are fire.

The 9 Ugliest University Of Oregon Football Uniforms In Recent Memory

Nike has tweaked the team's look more than Dr. Frankenstein adjusted the neck bolt on his creature. While the new Championship Game look is cool, some other incarnations have been less flattering.

Why limit options? Honest question. There's no reason to limit yourself here

Why not neon orange then? We can have an Edm-out. Certainly wouldn’t be limited

A color is not a brand

Alpi Gusto

It is a key element of branding

Totally the same thing, huh?

SoCalCoug

So options should sometimes be limited?

That is a straw man argument. Nobody here is claiming the whole color palette

Imagine Texas tried another shade of orange.

Bill Moore Esq

9/27/21 5:44pm

This isn't a situation where BYU adds a new color; we've been navy for 20 years. I'm not suggesting we add every color

Alpi Gusto

9/27/21 5:46pm

Royal is much more dynamic, has more character, looks better in the crowd.

Bill Moore Esq

9/27/21 5:50pm

BYU has historically had both Navy and Royal uniforms dating backore than 50

Royal blue during the prime days

Ah yes, the iconic navy blue jerseys of the 60s. Who could forget?

But we need to have a main one. Doesn’t feel like we do

Exactly, add sky blue and turquoise.

CougarTwins

Lots of options can be used with Royal as the primary color

Navy confuses the BYU brand? So you're saying for the past twenty years, people were confused that BYU was wearing navy?

It sounds like you don’t have a time horizon beyond the Navy period

Do you mean the "Bright Royal Blue" from the 70s & 80s or the "New Royal Blue"

Because we aren't Utah State. Have an identity.

TL;DR. Players like them and it helps draw recruits. Listen to the players.

If we have to keep Navy, then Navy blue should be used 1 or 2 times tops, the entire season...

Especially at home. 3 home unis with Navy is way too many.

Royal looks great in Football jerseys. Other sports aren’t bad in Navy

As long as it's early 80's royal and not the "powder blue" royal that was worn

What would you rather do, get recruits or force them to wear one color?

EtTuKalante

I’m sorry but this take is clowning. BYU can have so many alt uniforms without

The_Cuss

9/27/21 8:20pm

You must be new to the board. You can check my poll above.

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 8:23pm

It’s not about alt. unis, everyone is for alternates It’s about 2 shades of blue

The_Cuss

9/27/21 8:52pm

That's quite a false dichotomy - strawman fallacy you've set up there.

BYUDM93

9/27/21 8:39pm

Well you should start with the understanding they don't pay for the uniforms.

EtTuKalante

9/27/21 8:48pm

Have a good evening.

BYUDM93

Capitalism. Used to be a good thing.

Again, no issue with alternates. Issue is 2 shades of blue. Makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. College sports serve two purposes. Competition and...

It really comes down to this. Anonymous internet posters think it's better.

Sounds like an identity crisis. When was the last time UCLA switched their color

The_Cuss

9/27/21 11:56pm

Alot. Actually.. Constantly tweeking shades between powder blue all the way to royal

zephyr

9/28/21 12:44am

Im sorry but you’re completely wrong. UCLA has one primary blue.

The_Cuss

But zephyr's point that UCLA changes their blue every other year is still right

It’s a fact, they have one primary blue. That’s been the ENTIRE debate…

There are literally 3 blues in the link you posted

It sounds like zephyr has the evidence to stop this debate. See below.
