Rose Bowl: January 1, 2025

 

This is the Duck's 6th Rose Bowl appearance in the "modern era" of Oregon football. The previous five: 
Jan. 2, 1995RosePenn StateL 20-38
Jan. 1, 2010RoseOhio StateL 17-26
Jan. 2, 2012RoseWisconsinW 45-38
Jan. 1, 2015CFP Semifinal | Rose BowlFlorida StateW 59-20
Jan. 1, 2020RoseWisconsinW 28-7

The Ducks are going with a highlight-reel of past Rose Bowl uniforms for their 2025 tilt with Ohio State:

2012
2020

Chrome helmet, with apple green wings for the first time: pays homage to the 2012 and 2020 victories against Wisconsin while wearing the chrome. The reflective helmet famously reflected the sunset over Pasadena. The 2012 game was the first time Oregon went with the chrome helmet.

2015

1995


Green jersey: pays homage to each of the five past visits to the Rose Bowl when Oregon has worn a green jersey, but namely referencing the brighter greens of the 2015 Mariota-led Ducks in beating FSU en route to the natty game, as well as the 1995 Rose Bowl. 

2010


White pants: a controversial choice in my mind since they lost to tOSU in white pants in 2010, and have  had really mixed success in white pants in post season games (championships and bowls), going 3-4 since 1995.
