Oregon's Holograms

Did you see Oregon's new helmets last night at the Las Vegas Bowl? They were the only thing interesting about the Ducks as they got pasted by BYU. One thing Phil Knight and the OU athletic department has made sure of is that they experiment with uniforms, but every decision has been progressively worse. From the pinstriped Joey Harrington unis, to the steel plate pattern of a year ago, to now hologram helmets that change color depending on your point of view.

I think there is a method to the madness. Oregon is slowly moving toward Predator like, super camo. Eventually, opposing teams will only see the Ducks if they are wearing heat sensitive goggles or if it is raining. Jonathan Stewart will run wild through and around dumbfounded defenders unaware that Stewart is even on the field.
