This is a little old already (we had bigger priorities such as breaking down the UC ass-whipping) but I just had to say something about this. The Oregon Ducks have unveiled new helmets that change color depending on the angle from which they are seen.
It is unknown whether the Ducks will be sporting these in their bowl game, as they have only received helmets for half the team so far.
If you look closely, are those FREAKIN' FLAMES on the helmet? I can only imagine the justified outrage in Columbus should the Buckeyes ever imagine to do something so insanely dumb.
The Ducks, also known as the fashion incubator of alum and Nike CEO Phil Knight, have been bringing the innovative asinine for a few years now, but at some point in time you have to wonder if this hurts recruiting. I could be wrong.. maybe we are on the cusp of witnessing college football's first great metrosexual dynasty..

I wonder if Oregon even realizes the rest of the country is laughing at them?
In the source article there were players being very diplomatic about them, so it's looking like they're not too hot on them.
I can't wait for 2011 when the bust out in green and yellow banana hammocks for their season opener.
I agree that it could hurt recruiting...what HS stud is gonna want to wear that garbage...Reminds me of the late 80's when we all had those shirts that changed color due to heat.
I think they're sweet. Instead of having entrance music like Ozzy's "Crazy Train", they can use Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon".
That's pretty funny. Also, never underestimate a team that comes out to Dokken.
