But really, everybody always wants to talk about the jerseys. I'll later realize this is by design, but in any case, my first day at Oregon, a man answers the question before we can even ask it. His name is Jim Bartko. He's the "Executive Senior Associate," which sounds like a job title from a Saturday Night Live sketch, but actually means he has his hand in just about everything related to Oregon athletics.
"Our pitch," he tells us, "is that every three years, each recruit who comes here will have a chance to work with Nike, and not only design the colors, but the product, and the look. Some of 'em get really into it, and some of them are actually working at Nike as designers."

Probably a little closer than I thought. I wonder how many undeserving ex Oregon student athletes have received jobs at Nike...
 
I always thought that pitch to recruits about designing their own uniform is sort of cool, but most people don't know about it (hell most Duck fans don't LOL). I realize as a Duck fan my opinion is useless (I have been told 1 million ****ing times) but I love Phil Knight and know that without him we would not be where we are today. The stuff they test out is pretty cool and hell I have a pair of cleats from Nike that wont come out for 2-3 more years to the general public. I have no problem with Nike testing out gear on Oregon although I realize it is an unfair advantage over 99% of the schools. I think the only other school that is a test dummy like Oregon is Maryland for Under Armour.
