Oregon Track / XC Singlet, available in Mens size LARGE and MENS size MEDIUM. Prefontaine Oregon Singlet: replica of the legendary Oregon Track and Cross Country Singlet, the generic variety as worn in the early ‘70s, mint cond., ready to wear or display as you see fit. This is in brilliant gold with the famous ”OREGON” lime green lettering on the chest. White piping adorns the neck and arm openings. You’ll be capturing the same look as Pre on when he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. This is an ultimate “must have” for road racing, track or cross-country. 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 (elsewhere in the GoPre.com store), Pre looked his best wearing the Oregon singlet and left an indelible mark on U.S. distance running which continues to resonate all these years later. Also notice that in this picture and all the others we’ve seen, Pre never ran in a Nike branded singlet as far as we 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 later ’70s based on all the Oregon team pics we’ve seen. He wore Nike shoes but we believe he never wore a Nike singlet. If you’re a real runner, there’s no better way to be like Pre than with this new, never worn racing singlet. This makes a tremendous birthday present for the special runner in your life or for yourself.
