Remembering The Giant Killers

PrintWith a line of 15 points in favor of the Ducks, it's clear most folks expect Oregon to win the Civil War. Nike, among others, aren't taking it for granted that their flagship team is a shoe-in though, as they chose this week as the time to furnish the Beavers with Pro-Combat uniforms that harken back to the Giant Killers of 1967.
A #1 considered untouchable that had a top Heisman candidate ran into a spot of trouble that year too, against a bunch of guys who looked a little like this. There were no orange shoes that day, though.

Nike Uni's
Don’t like ‘em. I don’t like the white pants…no Beaver…no OS. I do like the OSU Gloves-however, we don’t need any penalty’s. If we win (or even keep it close) I’ll feel a little more open to them.
Gotta disagree, strongly.
I absolutely love the uniforms. I think it’s a cool change-up. It’s clean, classy and cool. No diamond plating or non-traditional colors, no strange re-branding… what’s not to like again?
I agree with Arby
I really like the Uni’s. They might not have the OS, but there’s an orange O on the pants I’m not a big fan of those shoes, I think the orange needs to be a little darker. And the gloves are the best part, they can pull an Ingram and show off the logo to the crowd after a TD….needless to say, I want a pair.
Really surprised Nike didn’t give UO some Pro-Combat ones, maybe it’s a secret till game day.
I met Joe Halahuni's parents.....in Alaska. Jealous?
We have the gloves
We just get new uniforms every 45 minutes so we don’t have to have pro combat.
I credit my urine for the victory.
The gloves are sick
I bought a pair and will be wearing them to the game. I also got the giant killers jersey and am a little conflicted on wearing it to the game because it is predominantly black, and we need as much orange as possible in this crowd.
But, I do love the jerseys, and I actually love the fact the Hole is #1 (#2) and we are somewhat dismal. It only adds to the theme for the Beavers this week!
Oregon State 'til I Die!
Also agree with Arby
I think the new uniform is sleek; plus I like it when Nike spreads the wealth around. One note – the orange shoes kinda remind me of duck feet… just sayin’.
Sir, no sir!
Would never try to co-opt another team’s color; especially our Civil War brethren :)
What I _meant_ to say
was, "except for maybe, possibly once. Or twice. Hard to remember with all the beer fogging my brain. Plus, I don’t think black’s technically a color.
Turquoise???

Your colors are Orange and AWESOME
Because black is awesome. Which is probably why Ducks like it too!
And quite frankly, I always liked the old school 8-point block “O” a bit more than our new “OS” logo.
The gloves are probably my least favorite addition, but clearly I’m in the minority on that. I think players probably love the gloves, so I guess it’s a good thing I’m not calling the shots!
Shoes: A-
Jerseys: A+
Helmets: A
Pants: A
Socks: A+
Gloves: B+
A B+ on the socks?!?! This is ridiculous! What criteria are you grading by!?!?!?
All in all you gotta love the new look. I know it won’t be a regular thing, but it’s pretty sweet.
The White-Orange-White Stripes
Got kind of old when they are already on the unis three different places.
Go Beavers!
