One of the biggest games in the 100+ years of the UW-UO rivalry! Both ranked in the top 10. ESPN Gameday in town too.
So the Ducks pull out what has become a standard in the repertoire for "big" games...the eggshell, and more generically. IMHO, eggshell is one of the least appealing uniforms since the adventure that was 2016. This time they pair it with the chrome helmet.
They have worn eggshell jerseys four times before: two games each in 2021 and 2022. In both those seasons they did eggshell jersey AND pants once. Last season they won vs Arizona and Colorado in eggshell, and in 2021 they won their debut game with them against UCLA but lost the Pac-12 Championship game in them. So 3-1 record.
I have a long-standing pet peeve that the Ducks tend to wear white/silver/black in high profile games, so I am not the most pleased with this combo against UW. Just win baby!
I've done several blog posts on their big game attire luck over the years:
