This post by Ryan Davenport was written before the Oregon Ducks played in the Alamo Bowl against the Texas Longhorns and discussed how the team’s uniform has changed and the predicted effect this change will have in the upcoming game and season. I enjoy the fact that Davenport commented on the uniforms that were not warmly welcomed by the fans rather than bragging about the gear the team acquires through the affiliation with Phil Knight and Nike. This post also helped to explain why the team has chosen to change their away and home Jerseys, which has been speculated about many times. The fact that an image and a press release were included in this post also made the post more believable. I also appreciate that Davenport did enough research to know that the new uniforms are intended to keep the players warmer during the winter games while not weighing the players down. I agree with the statement at the end of the blog article that says that change in appearance and style of the football uniforms is a trademark of Oregon’s football team and athletic program.
