Nike's Influence

[Snaggletiger]

Anyone catch the Noles and Maryland this Saturday?  Apparently, Nike has thrown some heavy cash FSU's way now and they came out sporting some butt ugly threads.  For those that didn't see it, FSU wore dark jersey with feathers on the shoulder pads (Very Oergon-duck feather-esque) and black helmets.  

I talked to a buddy of mine who went and he said it was a Nike deal like Oregon and that the uniforms overall, were a couple of pounds lighter.  I know it's hard to turn down money but could they possibly get someone designing these uni's that isn't taking 3-4 acid hits every hour?

the uniforms overall, were a couple of pounds lighter.

That alone could be enough of an edge to let Nike vomit whatever design it wants.

They were supposed to be state of the art design...stronger..lighter.

I get stronger and lighter.  Why does butt-fuckin-ugly have to be a part of the deal?

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I have actually liked some of the Oregon unis this year.

Not these from the last few years.

Would you check out the arms on #55.  Who is that stretchy dude from the Fantastic 4?  Reed something or other.
