Started discussing old school Duck apparel in the other thread, got me pulling out my old jerseys (I have a lot). These are my favorite Duck jerseys. I have a couple more, but I think these special. Ricky Whittle. I don't even know the manufacturer. Some crappy company out of nowhere. Authentic Onterio Smith jersey. Too bad he was injured that season and then left for the draft. This one is especially cool because it has the UofO emblem stitched into the shoulders. Have to be up close to see it though. I also have a Sammie Parker jersey and a Damon Griffin jersey. I didn't get a Harrington jersey because it was so common at that time. I wish I had gotten a Wilcox jersey or Chad Cota.
Post up whatever old stuff you can find. Doesn't matter if it's Ducks or Beavs. I'm hoping to see some Simonton jerseys, or maybe some Chad Johnson jerseys.
My old Beaver gear gets worn out so that I throw them away. The oldest I have now is a Sammie Stroughter jersey.
I met Simonton once at the airport. Dude was so tiny. You'd never believe that he was this dominant college football star if you were standing next to him.
I've got an orange Pat Chaffey jersey from the late 80's/early 90's that only gets worn to games -- it's high point was sitting in Tempe one desert night watching the Beavs kick Notre Dame all the way back to the mid west. Props to anyone who remembers Pat -- the dude could flat out play. I also have a Simonton jersey, but I'm old enough that it feels more new school than old school. lol
I take it back... my #1 jersey is Michael Fletcher. At least that's who it was when I bought it. Sammie Parker came after Fletcher, and I remember thinking, "oh well, #1 lives on!"

I know a lot of people hate them, but the Ducks current jersey is one of my favorite jerseys in sports
It's pretty unique. I didn't like them at first, but they've gown on me. I really like the "lights out" setup. The black looks really sharp.
exactly how I feel. I was at the Arizona game a couple years ago where they debuted them. I hated them at first. Now they have grown on me honestly. Then I started to like them more because people were focusing on them so much with their Ducks hate. It got me to thinking "If thats all you got to hate this team then I feel sorry for you" lol
I liked the green on that onterrio jersey over the green that they have now. the kind of, flat maybe is the word, looking green. I dunno. I hate the feathers, and hated the grid line things on the knees or shoulder pads or both or whatever they had a couple of years ago. But I really like what they do with having 50 different jerseys and 30 different pants and 18 helmets. Kind of cool for the players as well as the fans to see all the different combinations. I was joking around with a friend a couple of weeks ago how it's essentially paying their players. They get like 10 different jerseys each year. The cost of those things?! Compared to a school that just has a home and away. haha. No college football jerseys for me. In fact, the only jerseys I have in my closet are a few Blazer ones, and a Randy Moss Vikings jersey I got the year he was drafted.
You know what they should do ad never have is the lighting yellow head to toe! That shit would blind the other team!
