..or has this camo uniform thing jumped the shark into outright pandering???
Oregon is wearing white or black camo uniforms by Nike that have military 'ribbons' printed on the left chest and 'rank stripes' on the sleeves. I think it's the ribbons part that has me saying "Enough!" since those are earned by a service member and printing them on a football uniform is belittling in my opinion.
I appreciate people wanting to 'support the troops' but just think it's now become a way for the shoe/uniform companies and some coaches to wrap themselves in the flag (I'm looking at you Jim Tressel*). I think there's better ways to honor the men and women of the military than a camo football uniform.
* Tressel wore military fatigues and boots to their spring game..
