And you’re spot on with the socks. It’s looks like they’re too poor to have real Underroos and they’re making do with stolen laundry instead.

If you’re dating James, and suddenly you see those neon yellowish green socks streaking toward you, you know to get you handgun-and-or-cell-phone out of your purse and pull or press triggers or buttons. (Screaming is always good, too, FYI.)

Phil Knight + Women’s Rights = uh . . . help me out here, little girls in third world sweatshops … ?

You know, I’m sure I’ll get blasted for this, but I’ve come around on the Oregon uniforms. I’m still not a fan of the font used for the numbers, but I don’t mind the shoulder design and I think they’ve done a really good job of spicing up the color combinations and been doing interesting things with patterns on the helmets. When your colors are green and yellow, why not go with a neon hi-liter version of yellow and add in black and gray? The old green and yellow when they were using Donald Duck was nothing special, but you can’t deny that since they’ve gone space-age, they’ve gotten a ton of publicity.

There are certainly a lot of prospects that really like their uniforms, and it gives their fans a ton of options for officially licensed gear to buy (which returns revenue to the department), so it’s a win-win for them.

Did anyone else expect to see a woman when opening this? Looking at the little preview pic I thought it was a women wearing a tight dress with silvery gloves on.
