Week 1: Sept. 2, 2017

In Willie Taggart's debut, the Ducks scored 77 points, which is the most since 1916. They also scored points in the uniform world too. Using parts from their well-stocked-closet, they combined a fan-favorite, and very bright apple green and lemon yellow confection. Oddly enough, they have not worn yellow/green/yellow since the 2015 Civil War game! And going back, this combo most resembles the Kenny Wheaton UW game throwbacks from 2014.

The yellow helmet was never used last year!, and in looking back 5 years, I cannot find a green O on yellow helmet! That combo is probably the most iconic going back to the old interlocking UO on yellow helmets.
The green jersey is from game 4 last year where they imitated The Duck mascot.
The yellow pants are from game 2 last year.

All around a good look! Next week they will be sporting all white/silver/yellow for Nebraska, which often has mixed results.
