Week 13: November 27, 2021

The Oregon vs. Oregon State game brings all-green for the first time since the last "Civil War" in Eugene in 2019. The Ducks have also gone mono-green in 2017, 2011, and 2001.

Week 12: November 20, 2021

The green helmets make their first appearance this season! The Ducks wore a tried-and-true road combo for their tough game at Utah. But many people will say the green pants are unlucky now since both of Oregon's losses came in the two games they wore green britches. 

The last time they wore this combo was in last season's Pac-12 Championship.

Week 11: November 13, 2021

The white helmet makes its third game appearance this season, joining the black and yellow helmets at 3 games each so far. This white/green/green combo was last worn in two games in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, including the 2104 Pac-12 Championship Game victory. The only other time previous was the 2010 Rose Bowl loss.

Week 10: November 6, 2021

Another week, another lost opportunity to wear green. Nine games in with 27 items worn, and only 3 have been green so far. This week would have been great time to wear this combo with green pants—or wear green helmet and yellow pants—both those looks are classic road sets from the past. But if you look at my post from Thursday, you can see they Ducks have been very heavy on mono-white paired with gray/silver at UW, so at least we get some yellow. This combo is the first instance of Oregon yellow helmets in Seattle since 1997!  

And oddly enough this yellow/white/white has never been worn in the last 20+ years of my records. The only instance of a similar combo of white/white/yellow was used at ASU in 2008.

The Best of Oregon AT Washington

Last year, in the covid-canceled absence of an actual UO-UW game I posted a few of my favorite uniform matchups in the rivalry, but most were HOME games, so here is my roundup of the looks when the Ducks were IN Seattle during the "modern era" of Oregon football. It's very interesting that there has been so much mono white and black/gray/silver in the recent history of this rivalry.

1997: Oregon 31, #6 UW 28

This was just before the Bellotti/Nike rebrand so a good example of a "classic" road uniform for the Ducks in the 1990s.

1999: Oregon 20, UW 34

The first of the Nike looks. (It would be 4 years before Oregon played in Seattle)

2003: Oregon 10, UW 42

More mono-white for Oregon. (Another 4 year gap before Oregon played in Seattle)

2007: #7 Oregon 55, UW 34

One of the best wins in the middle of a 12-year stretch of Duck victories in the series. This was also the debut of the "Stormtrooper" look.

2009: #12 Oregon 43, UW 19

The middle of a stretch of very white/black/gray sets in Seattle.

2011: #6 Oregon 34, UW 17

Very similar to the 2010 Civil War uniform that was mostly gray and white. Paired with UW black, this game was kinda dull.

2013: Oregon 52, #23 UW 21

Mariota in another white/silver combo, and UW in full blackout! At least the silver/yellow brightened things up.

2015: Oregon 26, UW 20

Finally some green! This is how this rivalry should look!

2017: Oregon 3, #12 UW 38

A bad loss and another white/silver combo.

2019: #12 Oregon 35, UW 31

Still more mono white/silver!

So...2021... If they were going to be true to form they would wear mono white and silver. But in my view this rivalry is begging for a renewal of the yellow helmet and green pants look!

Edit: They will be mono white with yellow helmets in 2021
