Oregon 2026 Schedule

 

 

Those last 6 games will be a pretty tough stretch!

 

Some uniform-specific thoughts about 2026: 

 

Boise coming to Autzen. I hope that the Ducks go colorful since the Broncos will probably go all white with metallic subtle helmet logo?

 

At OKST. Last season could have been good Civil War facsimile, so hopefully Cowboys wear lots of orange and black this time, and the Ducks wear green and yellow.

 

PSU-Ducks should wear lots of yellow against green team.

 

At USC, would love stormtrooper please!

 

Back home vs Bruins and Nebraska: Please wear school colors against classic road uniforms.

 

At Illinois in the fall. I hope its a good yellow and orange matchup.

 

Halloween at home-you know they will do a blackout!!

 

At Ohio State-a retread of their last game there please!

 

Michigan at Autzen. Throwbacks to when the Wolverines lost at Oregon in 2002.

 

At Michigan State. Hopefully Spartans go all-green and the Ducks go yellow and white!

 

Home vs Huskies. Gotta be classic uniforms. 

 

 

Looking back and ranking of 2025/6 uniforms

With the 25-26 season wrapped up, here is a look back!

This season was long and varied with 15 games. The first three were very school-colored and then the Ducks went through a midseason black faze. The end of the season brought a bit more variety. Here are the number of the three main elements:

• Green: 14
• White: 13
• Black: 9
• Yellow: 6
• Gray (light and charcoal): 3
• All 3 mono: 3
• 2/3 same: 10
• All 3 different: 2
• Unique helmets: 11
• O helmet: 4
• Wings helmet: 11 

The things that stood out to me:

• Much less yellow than in past seasons.
• Only two times when green and yellow were evenly used on a set 
• No Bumble-bee look
• Usual variety of helmets, with only three shell/decal/mask looks repeated
• Much less O logo compared to wings 

My personal ranking (and commentary) of their combos. 

As with my 2024 rankings, I have a methodology that leans toward...

• favoring green and yellow uniforms
• liking "sandwich" looks that have matching helmet/pants 
• putting up with all three elements being mono (but not preferred)
• disliking combos that have NO school colors
• disliking white pants paired with dark uppers/non-matching uppers. Save this for stormtrooper look.

I like the idea of special uniforms, but the final visual result is kinda meh. Too many small details like almost invisible marble and "inside-info" patches. Two different wings was cool, but kinda lost on the regular man. Charcoal black. gold, and white are not school colors.

Playoff Round 3: Peach Bowl, January 9, 2026

A crisp set that goes back to school colors from a week away from them. Green/White/White for the first time since the Pac-12 championship game loss to UW, and the Alamo Bowl loss to Oklahoma. The Ducks' blowout loss to Indiana will probably add this combo to the sets that fans will despise.

 

What this combo brings to mind is Joey Harrington winning the 2002 Fiesta Bowl.

 

Playoff Round 2: Orange Bowl January 1, 2026

First ever Orange Bowl for Oregon. But, Uh-Oh! A big game with gray, silver, white, or black! However, the Ducks pulled out a 23-0 victory over Texas Tech and maybe started a trend of doing well in gray on the big stage? But let's hope they don't test it in the Peach Bowl or hopeful-Natty. 

3rd time this season with black helmets and first time with gray pants since last season's UW game. But 4th time this season without any green/yellow. First time with combo of black/white/gray since 2014.

With TT opting for all black (granted it is a school color) the game ended up being rather dull looking even in Miami sunshine.

Playoff Round 1: December 20, 2025

The Ducks host the James Madison Dukes in their first-ever Playoff home game.

Thankfully the Ducks go back to school colors for this matchup. Hopefully that bodes well for further playoff games! First time they have worn yellow wings on a helmet (I think this is my favorite helmet this season). Last time they went green/green/yellow was 2023 and 2022, but you have to go back to 2013, 2005, and 20024 for the only other times before that. They are undefeated in this combo.

Week 14: Husky Week November 28-29, 2025

The Ducks traveled to Seattle. Unbelievably, they wore a combo that has not been worn since 1998! Yellow, white, green. A classic of the pre-Nike rebrand  Belotti/Brooks years. The model for the set is Akili Smith HJr., who is the son of the famous Akili Smith from the late 1990s teams!

Akili Smith Sr. from late 1990s

Week 13: November 22, 2025

Oregon vs USC, with Gameday in town! Oregon uses a combo last seen in the Big-10 championship game last year. This time with black wings on green helmet instead of silver. This is another unusual combo that—before 2024—was last seen several times in 2006-2008.
