Oregon Ducks Tez Johnson on Rose Bowl Uniforms

Transcript

00:00So a little bit like fate that you guys get to rematch each other at the Rose Bowl

00:04in the playoff.

00:04We knew it was coming the whole time.

00:05We knew exactly who we was gonna match up against.

00:08As soon as they said Tennessee, Ohio State, we prepared for Ohio State.

00:11So we knew exactly.

00:12We prepared for both, but we knew it was gonna be Ohio State.

00:15I think I watched the first quarter of the game, turned it off.

00:17I knew exactly what was gonna happen.

00:20You talked a little bit about the chrome helmets of Rose Bowl's past.

00:25How cool was it to see, and I know you were a part of the decision making for

00:29these uniforms today, or for Wednesday.

00:32How cool is it to see some of those past histories and

00:35traditions come alive in your uniforms that you get to wear?

00:39It's amazing.

00:40It's an honor.

00:42I don't take it for granted.

00:43I never thought I was gonna be picking a jersey for

00:46the Rose Bowl like this ever.

00:49But like I said, I don't take it for granted.

00:51It's something I dream of, wearing the jerseys, but having to pick the jersey.

00:56It's unbelievable.

00:57I can't ask for anything more.

00:58Oregon is truly, they've done everything.

01:05I can't really explain the love they show me, the fan base they show me.

01:14I can't ask for anything more.

01:16I'm gonna miss it, and

01:18it's gonna be something I'll never, ever experience again.

01:23From the uniforms, the cleats, the everything.

01:25I don't think no NFL team got more stuff than us.

01:28And honestly, I've never been so confused with picking a jersey ever in my life.

01:35And normally, it should be easy, but we feel like, no disrespect to women, but

01:39we feel like women going in the closet to pick clothes out and

01:42trying to get ready for a game.

01:44Cuz you got so many combinations, like warp speed, throwback, eggshells,

01:49nightmare, goodness, you don't know where to choose from.

01:53And then you come out, all right, that's what it is, but

01:56we're gonna hit them with the Kobe cleats.

01:57So stuff like that.

01:59So are you happy with the way it came together?

02:01Yeah, I wish they would have picked T-Ferg for the drip combination.

02:04They had Kobe Sanders tucking his shirt in, so it was like.

02:07We gotta get his drip off a little bit.
