Mid(ish)season Review

Two-thirds of the Duck season is over and it's a bye week so I thought it would be a good time to examine trends and try to predict the end of the season.

So far this season Oregon has had several streaks: 

1. First 3 games was an even mix of school-colors of green and yellow, but no yellow jersey.
2. Then a large dose of black and white for 5 games with only a bit of green thrown in.

Mt critique of these outfits so far: 

• The first three games are an example of the best of "classic" Duck ensembles and the traditionalist in me says YEAH! 
• We have yet to see a yellow jersey and I wonder if we will, since the two remaining home games are yellow-dominant teams.
• Even wear of helmets: two each of the 4 colors. I personally like the wings best, and would love a green helmet with yellow wings.
• Not a fan of the two "themed" sets. They are too fiddly and dilute the power of the all black that they used.
• The white jerseys have been powerful road wins, but the last two black jerseys have been a loss and a poor-win.

The next games:

1. @ Iowa: Against a team that wears black and yellow, so I'd love to see yellow/white/green
2. Minnesota: I assume the gophers will wear white and maroon (or maybe golden yellow), so Ducks in green-dominant would be best contrast. I'd love green/yellow/green.
3. USC: Against a traditional rival at home, there better be a lot of green, but it could be more black! Please do not repeat the IU game outfit.
4. @ UW: Another bitter rival, so maybe color-on-color? or Stormtrooper again?
5. Postseason: Not sure if this will be Big-10 championship and/or Playoff or random bowl. IF Big-10 the Ducks most assuredly will be lower seed so white. If CFP or Bowl, hopefully they will be home team so pull out all the traditional stops please!
