UW used to be branded by the block W. Then they tried to get cute with Nike and made the weasel. We? Returned to the block W but it was never the same. Bad management. Lost identity. Loser brand. Meanwhile Oregon had the duck logo and dropped it in favor of a block zero at the same time Nike got us to go with the weasel. Go figure.
UW went from Purple & Gold to Purple & Khaki. Oregons brand went big and bright. UW brand went small and muted. Oregon went eye catching, UW went eye wandering. There may be something to be said about the UW's branding being reactionary to the Oregon shift, however the billion dollar company in Beaverton seems to know a lot more than probably Barbara Hedges and subsequent entities in UW branding.
So far adidas clothing has been very underwhelming. Mostly because the gold looks absolutely horrible. Oddly enough they are selling 'retro', or basically panting dawg stuff that actually seems to sell, and has a brighter eye catching gold. I've beaten this drum for years, but mostly I'm shouted down by doogs who like Jimmy Lake claim some academic prowess, snob shit about not wanting to be flashy like Oregon. I've been told that the bright gold, basically yellow is bad for the brand. Well one of the largest sports brands in the world is purple and gold. I don't think they are moving to purple and khaki anytime soon.

Mighty are the men who wear the Purple and the...Khaki?

I enjoy a good weasel story. Weasel on, sir
and I've met him.
I can't, for the life of me, picture him bald but his timeline of shaving his head in his 40s fits historical data.
Every detail

Edit...not saying I approve of that color for uw. It isn't gold. I don't get why it changed.
I liked these but the jersey colour should be the same as the W behind him IMO
You don't say?
Current mood. On brand
