Oregon Put Lewis and Clark — Yes, That Lewis and Clark — On Its Dang Football Jerseys

Nike may be out of ideas regarding Oregon uniforms, folks.

From SBNation.com:

Oregon will break out new uniforms on Saturday against Washington State, and this time, it isn't just about different colors. The Ducks will be wearing uniforms called "Oregon Pioneers" by Nike, which are intended to honor the history of the state of Oregon.

Each jersey will have a unique topographical map featuring a different part of the state. The helmet, seen above, includes 1800s American frontier explorers Lewis and Clark (and The Duck) pointing westward, and the back has a 33-star flag, the number the United States flag had for two years after Oregon joined the union.

I suppose one way to assuage your program's lack of history is to swagger-jack your state's history. Jokes and gimmicks aside, I think it's a clean look:

Lewis and Clark!
