While looking out for new uniforms is not at the top of most sports fan’s lists, sometimes there are jerseys that draw everyone’s attention and even spark conversation in the sports world.

This week’s featured jersey is from the University of Oregon basketball team, which debuted the look a few weeks ago (and hasn’t worn it since). You might not have been able to tell who that was above, since the Ducks opted to put their lettering in either black or dark green (it’s hard to tell which) on a black jersey and hope that a shiny material would make up for the lack of distinction. It ends up looking like Oregon is playing in dark practice jerseys with bright yellow numbers when the team comes up the court. Add in the fact that the jerseys are part of Nike’s System of Dress uniform program, where teams sport tight jerseys and ridiculously baggy shorts, and the new look is just a complete disaster.

As many of you may know, Oregon is no stranger to outrageous uniforms. Nike co-founder and former CEO Phil Knight is an alumnus and a big donor, so Nike has essentially been given permission to use Oregon as the apparel empire’s personal guinea pig.
