This is in brilliant yellow with the famous "OREGON" block yellow lettering framed in lime green on the chest. This is the ultimate shirt for road racing, the track or cross-country this fall. Whether running intervals, fartlek or long slow runs, you will be wearing the Prefontaine like singlet he wore during his record setting days in Eugene at Hayward Field. As you can see in the highly collectible June 15, 1970 Sports Illustrated with Pre on the cover, Pre looked his best wearing the Oregon singlet and left an indelible mark on U.S. distance running. ( The S.I. is shown for reference only, it is NOT a part of the package lot). Also notice that in this picture and all the others I've seen, Pre never ran in a Nike branded singlet as far as I know he only had the opportunity to run in a generic singlet as shown here in this replica singlet designed very similar those used by Oregon in the early '70s. In fact, Oregon runners did not don a Nike branded (with an external logo anyway) until the 1979 or later based on all the Oregon team pics I've researched. This material is also more like the actual worn in the early '70s. He wore Nike shoes but I don?t believe he ever wore a Nike singlet but I could be wrong. I just can not find any picture of him or any other Oregon runner in a Nike logo singlet before at the earliest 1976 or ?77 and of course Pre was lost in May of ?75. Be like Mike...or be like Pre...if you're a real runner, that's a no brainer decision ...and what better way to be like Pre then with this new, never worn racing singlet. This makes a tremendous birthday present for the special runner in your life. Steve Prefontaine (arguably America's greatest distance runner ever and certainly the most competitively spirited), Olympian out of Coos Bay Oregon, legendary University of Oregon Duck, NCAA Cross Country and Track Champion and National High School Record Holder for the 2 Mile Run...and an inspiration for two generations of runners...and now an Oregon replica singlet like he wore for you.
