Oregon Ducks Volt the BCS Title!

Oregon Ducks Win The Uniform Contest--But not the National Championship!
Being from the South, we do not get to see the Ducks play football against one of the SEC College teams like Auburn or Alabama very often. But that is NOT what caught my attention. I absolutely loved their playing garb. The feathered wings on the shoulders were wildly wonderful. The Nike "diamond plating and yellow helmets for feathers and a chrome/carbon/silver ensemble" was dazzling to the eye. However, what I really noticed was what was on Oregon's feet. How could you not help but look! Wow. The Ducks won my attention!

“Oregon is one of the fastest teams in the nation, and we wanted them to look fast.”
says Nike's Todd Van Horn

How Nike's Visual Tricks Made the Oregon Ducks Look Fast (Despite Defeat)
Assault on the Eyes?
Volt = "Green"! (Nike's new name for this color.)
Was the footwear worn by the Ducks that bad (as in assaulting)?
Did Nike make a fashion foot faux pas?
Shout out with your opinion. Was the footwear re-volting? Comments are allowed.
Do you think that the "volt green" shoes and socks worn by the Oregon Ducks in the BCS National Title Game were an "assault on the eyes"?
No! Those shoes actually made me want to watch the game! My eyes were "volt"-ed to the screen.

Well, I do not watch any sports except soccer games that my sons play in. However, knowing how much young guys love those colored shoes...I think these are only an assault of fun!
Yes! I had to turn the TV off and listen to the BCS Game on the radio.
JDWheeler says:
You can wear whatever color uniform you want, but you will still be dominated by the size of the SEC. Maybe they can wear those uniforms to practice now.
Copy the Ducks' Look the best that you can!
I am sure it will be on the market very soon--if not already!

Auburn's Uniform vs. the Ducks
One article I read stated that the Duck's flashy new uniforms made Auburn's look "stuck in the 1950's."-- Cliff Huang
What do you think? Make a statement about Auburn's look vs. The Duck's Visual Uniform Dominance.
To read about the history of Auburn's colors, please visit this page on Squidoo written by a friend: Burnt Orange and Navy: The Origin Story of Auburn University's Colors
Did the AU uniforms look old fashioned--as in "stuck in the 1950's"?
Yes! Someone needs to modernize Auburn's look.
No! AU's look is just fine.
JDWheeler says:
If it's not broke, don't fix it.
What do you think of the Ducks' brand new look?

I like the new look for the Ducks. But what I really want is a set of duck lips! I could only find them for sale at The Duck Store.

- Nicely done. I like the fact that you've featured some items to make me look like an Oregon Duck...and not a lot of other unrelated products. Therefore, I am sprinkling some neon yellow angel dust on your lens.
