The Bachscore: Portland Timbers history and the original 'Nike' uniforms

On Tuesday, Arizona State and Nike went and discarded half a century of uniform history and got themselves a bold new, "Nike-fied" look. The Sun Devils are stealing a page from fellow Pac-12 member Oregon's playbook -- who has seen its number of wardrobe combinations grow exponentially over the past few years. Thanks, of course, in no small part to Papa Knight and Nike Dunks High. And while Arizona State needs a few more helmet, jersey and pants combinations to catch up to the Ducks, the uniform changes are a stark contrast to its old look. The Sun Devils seem well on their way ...

Not to be outdone, Oklahoma State fans are abuzz with what the Cowboys are about to do. No one knows what exactly new Cowboy uniforms will look like, but Nike also has plans to release a number of different uniforms this season. There will likely be tens, if not hundreds, of combinations of orange, black, white and smoke gray (which will be added to the Cowboys' offerings) on OSU's 2011 football uniforms.

One official says that Oklahoma State plans on becoming "the Oregon of the Midwest."

Now while Arizona State is outfitted by Nike Dunks SB, not Under Armour, it's not hard to imagine a similar football makeover for the Eagles. The two schools even share roughly the same school colors. You could pretty easily put a Philadelphia Eagles-esque wing or a BC logo on those helmets in place of the fork trident and have an idea of what new BC uniforms could look like. I mean, BC's solid gold helmets seem rather ... boring in comparison, no?
