By the way the Oregon example is a good one.

Before Nike began its financing efforts, Oregon had no football identity - no football brand at all.

Nobody became upset by the funky uniforms precisely because there was no traditional Oregon Football uniform.

The constantly changing uniform became the Oregon Brand.

We have a brand. We have a proud football history that is symbolized by the classic football uniform - the orange helmet, the orange pants - the blue and white jerseys - the uniform of Freeney, Harrison, McNabb, Conley, Gedney, Johnston et. al.

We don't need to do what Oregon did to establish a football identity.

And, now that so many other low level programs have tried to replicate what Oregon did, the "change the look every week brand" is no longer unique.

All of the lousy programs do it from Kansas, to Illinois to every MAC team.

I feel we should do the same that Alabama, Auburn, Texas, USC, Michigan, Penn State have done - keep and promote our classic brand.
