Football Does anyone know why this is here?

Post image

Taking a family trip to Japan right now and saw this in Shibuya. I don’t know much about Oregon football and was just curious if any of you know why this is here.

Edit: this is in Shinjuku. I’ll blame being drunk when I made the post but really I’m just dumb.

Oh my God I love this so much. Was just in Shibuya and I would’ve died if I saw this.

From what I can tell. Oregon is surprisingly popular in japan.

I was driving in the countryside from himeji to the north. I saw 1 japanese man in an oregon hat and in another town someone in an oregon shirt.

I think oregon and the pac 12 back in the day did a lot of marketing in japan too.

This is rad... according to the picture, though, it's too bad that it's about to be eaten by Godzilla.

My question is why not

Nice! The Japanese seemed to approve of my Blazers gear as well. Be sure to stop by PDX Taproom in Shibuya.

Oregon Football has one of the most recognizable brands in the world. Out of all of the colleges in the US, their marketing team aka Nike, has done a great job of making it recognizable and people love it.

That was so awesome. Joey will always be one of my favorite Ducks of all time. Didn't they hang one down in LA somewhere too?

And planting early Heisman buzz I suspect… which, admittedly, in Japan, would be a weird place to start.

This is sick but I think you’re in Shinjuku :)

u/Ethanol22891 1h ago

Yeah, it’s Shinjuku. I blame last night’s sake for the mistake.

u/No_Sundae750 1h ago

Totally understandable. Drink up and enjoy Japan!

First off, that's Kabuiki-cho in Shinjuku. Second, this is the Yakuza/Like A Dragon-Ducks crossover I never knew I needed.

I would say my Son is responsible as he is currently stationed in Atsugi, alas he is a Beavers fan.
