Week 5: Sept. 29, 2018

For the 5th week in a  row, we get a mono-color set from Oregon. (Yeah I know helmet is silver) They have stuck to the looks that they unveiled in August and have yet to mix and match from these 4 sets. It will be noteworthy when they finally do.

Another noteworthy aspect of this week's non-school-color set is that it is a scheme that has not been very lucky for the Ducks, and going into Berkeley after last week's Stanford collapse seems like an odd time to do that. Last year the Ducks wore this silver/white/white look and they lost badly in Seattle and Tempe, but beat Nebraska in Eugene.

Week 4: Sept. 22, 2018

With ESPN College GameDay on campus for the 10th time, the Ducks went traditional against Stanford....sorta. I was really thinking they would do a current take on their classic yellow/green/yellow, but instead we get a repeat of game 2 and their mono-green look. It did make for a good contrast with Stanford's road whites. So far this season Oregon has only worn mono-color looks, which is getting a touch old.

Week 3: Sept. 15, 2018

So far this season we have been treated to the mono-color versions of two of the Ducks' new set: all-yellow and then all-green. I was thinking that for this week's matchup we'd see a mix of the two since this is a home game against an easy opponent. I predicted a classic Yellow/Green/Yellow.... BUT, Oregon surprised us with the third mono-color in a  row.

This time it was their blackout/neon green set. What makes this seem like an odd choice is that this game was against a low-tier opponent (but they played kinda mediocre) in the middle of the day—when they usually save the blackout uniform for a high profile home night game near Halloween...like—I dunno—next week's evening home game vs highly ranked Stanford? Oh well, I won't complain too much, since I honestly think this black set is their weakest one, with black being a rival's color and that neon green just not that design friendly. But today the neon green looked pretty decent in the daylight, but this game and uniform are something to put away.

Week 2: Sept 8, 2018

Week 1: Sept. 1, 2018

While most of us thought that the four mono-color ensembles that were revealed in August were just illustrations of the four colors, week 1 let us know the Ducks are not afraid to be bold. They went all-highlighter-yellow! This has become a common thing for them to do in the "preseason" when they have tended to use lots of yellow and black instead of green, which they tend to save for conference play.
