Bank robbery. It’s as American a pastime as baseball, apple pie, or cheating on your taxes. And as one silverfox criminal mastermind recently demonstrated in Beaverton, OR, it’s also a perfect opportunity to display your college football fandom.
Caught from the omnipresent security camera, this as-of-yet unidentified and still-on-the-lam woman opted for a modern update on the old practice of obscuring the face — bifocals and a hat representing the highest scoring team in the NCAA, the #2 [BCS] ranked Oregon Ducks. Jeremy Masoli would be so proud, if he weren’t still trying to determine how Ole Miss lost that game to Jacksonville State.
Or is this perhaps just a smart utilization of camouflage? I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA and despite not being a Steeler fan, on more than one occasion the thought has occurred to me to commit various crimes in a Troy Polamalu jersey and then slide off into the black & gold masses unnoticed and replete with riches, but unfortunately I lack the certain chutzpah to go through with it (being 6’5″ doesn’t help either). This nondescript woman has no such worries.
There’s certainly the chance that she doesn’t know a thing about the Ducks (beyond the ones she presumably feeds at the park) and just thought adopting the wares of the favorite local team would make her as in cognito as possible.
And legitimate Oregon fan or not, considering she’s as of yet unfound, it looks like she may have been right. Go Ducks.
