I think this is the first year of the n**e football shield, and they are so stupid.

1) I might be biased, but I'm pretty sure the QBs wearing them are throwing less accurately than they ought to be. Just a trend I've noticed, and I could be crazy (my roommates say i am). I'm just remembering the pilot test.

2) What a blatant ripoff. Seriously they just threw some plastic together and forced all the teams with contracts to wear them.

3) I also hate their rip-off Under Armour and Oregon's jerseys

edit: I mashed a wrong button and posted before I was done.

I do like how they have the writing on one side and the logo on the other. Oakley take notice.

That should have been in off topic...

My bad guys, you are right

christ sakes guys, they're oakley visors.

they just put nike stickers on them.

Nike puts their logo on everything. Like Brian said, they are Oakley visors, but Nike has contracts with a ton of college teams so they can't show any other logo but Nike. In the pros, I believe they cover the O with team logos.

Sorry to say this, but Oakley Visors and Goggle lenses are not subject to XYZ--they're just as fallible as anything else, soI hate to burst the bubble that some might have.

Oakley uses injection molding to shape PLUTONITE® with unique curvature. The contours are designed with CAD/CAM engineering to maintain clarity at all angles of vision, even at the sides, so peripheral view is optimized.

This is a quote directly from Oakley's website & that sure sounds like XYZ to me.

Yea, and the damn things are nearly indestructable. Had one come back from an unhappy customer and basically throw it at us as he left so we decided it should be destroyed - all we managed to do with 2 guys, some big rocks, a curb and a civic was stratch it decently. No cracks, no chips, no breaking what so ever! Damn thing just flexes and takes it like a champ!

Wow, I didn't know they were that strong.

polaric ellipsoid is the same concept as XYZ but a little less complex, and I'd imagine that's what they use on a lens that big (it's what they use for M's)

oh, and Oakley got the tech from the hockey equipment company they bought in the early 90's. if the visors can survive 100mph slapshots, they can survive pretty much whatever.

which company CCM? Thats what I used when I played hockey back in high school.

One Xcel was the company. I was wrong, it was 1997 (Romeo year). One Xcel also makes/made the visors for Itech.

Oh yeah, I had an Itech full cage too.
