Week 5: Dec 5, 2020

The December 5 game at Cal brings the second new uniform of the short 2020 season. But what is notable is that it also brings "wolf grey" out for the first time! It's an attractive set that—if I may be kind— calls to mind the white/grey set that the Ducks wore in the 2010 Civil War that clinched a National Title game appearance:

But on the flipside...As soon as it was revealed on twitter, the comments went to the Duck's rather meager results when wearing grey/silver (especially pants). Like losing while wearing the "Lewis & Clark" uniform and during two National Championship game losses: 

2016 "Lewis and Clark" uniform Loss

2011 Natty Loss

2015 Natty Loss

Let's hope that they can sidestep the jink of this color combo. They did win at Washington in white/silver last season.

You can see my retrospectives about Oregon's LOSSES, especially when wearing white, grey and silver here:
