OT / SIAP- Oregon debuts new "Oregon Trail" uniformz

Submitted by Wolverine In Exile on

So OregoNike Almagomated has gone one step beyond anything else in terms of uniformz. Oregon is unveiling new "Oregon Trail" uniforms featuring Lewis, Clark, and the Oregon Duck on the helmets. Two thoughts:

1) I'm surprised inthe current social climate that Oregon consented to guns being on the helmet, especially since Lewis & Clark weren't exactly known as trailblazing rilfemen. EDIT: I guess that's a spyglass, not a rifle??

2) Whenever I see "Oregon Trail" I always go back to the #1 lesson I learned from it, reinforced from my prior job where I worked with a super smart dude of Creek heritage: ALWAYS PAY THE INDIAN.

my copy of Oregon Trail said I headed west in 1848, where I either died from dysentery or on the Columbia River right before the end. Lewis and Clark's expedition immediately followed the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, ending in 1806. Way to get elementary school history wrong, Oregon.

Doesn't seem like the best season to do this. Lots of jokes about them dying of dysentery etc I am sure.
