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
