The Big Picture: Ducks fly(?) off the deep end. Again.

Ducks fly(?) off the deep end. Again.

Oregon's at it again with its "what-the-fuck-are-they-thinking" uniforms.

The photo on the right is the Ducks' standard home jersey. The yellow is gross, but we've been there before. Notice the team name and then the number.

However, last Thursday in a loss to Arizona State, the Ducks got creative and decided to drop the team (or school) name and just have the number. So there's Joevan Catron. Joevan Catron is number 50. There ya go.

HM said...: At home games do they just go with "Guests" and leave the other side as blank?

Or if the jersey does have something on it, maybe the scoreboard could follow suit -- for example, they could use a piece of paper with 10 point type stating "Ducks."; 11:21 AM
