For Oregon's first road game at Nebraska, they opted for (surprise, surprise) a mostly black and white look that has been real hit and miss with them of late. (see my post from last year about non green-yellow uniforms) The other trend that they have continued is the lack of any green in their combos to start the season. And not much yellow, unless you count the yellow flags that were a major part of the scene.
The numbers appear to be the same as last week, but the shoulder pattern is similar to the Alamo Bowl version from January. The shoulder feathers have become so abstract over the years that I'm not sure if these count as feathers or just techno designs. The fact that both times they have been used, the color is so reflective or pearly, that they just don't show up. The other reprise from the Alamo Bowl is the beveled O on the sparkly white helmet, but this time in black.
An interesting note: This White, White, Black combo seems to be pretty much unseen before. At least I can't find anything like this in looking back 7+ years. The closest was their loss to Ohio State in the national championship when they wore White, White, Gray.
