Week 4: September 14, Civil War

It's weird to see Civil War in September, but alas better here than never. 

Breaking a recent tradition of color-on-color, the Ducks play IMHO one of their best road combos. Green-white-green is a combo they have worn, mostly in winning efforts, every season since 2019. And, except in 2014 & 2018, it's made an appearance every season since 2005.

The last time Oregon wore a white jersey in the Civil War was a loss in Mark Helfrich's bad year of 2016. Ever since they have worn color. They broke the streak of the road team losing as well.

Week 2: September 7, 2024

Boise State came to town and the Ducks were really hoping for a better game than week 1, but at least it was better than their three previous losing games vs. the Broncos! They wore the same helmet (but with green facemask instead of yellow) and jersey from week 1 and added their new white pants. 

This exact combo was last worn in the 2023 Civil War victory, but that was its first appearance.

But white-green-white combos have been seen in 2022, 2021, the "Duck Mascot" inspired loss in 2016, a 2015 win, the 2014 Pac-12 Championship and the 2010 Rose Bowl loss.

IMHO I'm not  fan of white pants with all green top. I can imagine they might be saving yellow for week 3 Civil War?
