Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My friends....I am not an artist, and do not have any flair at all in that direction. But being a publisher for ten years....I know what looks best on television and in the background for pictures. The best pictures have a rich and colorful background of color--like what you see in the background of the picture behind this site at the 'Shoe. Wearing black for TV (like this Friday) is just a dud, but when we wear YELLOW....it really stands out and looks cool in all venues. This is not rocket science, and I have no idea why they are not promoting yellow ALL the time? It is the rich colors of not only Oregon, but the crowds at away games...all that color is just so epic. I hope you enjoy the incredible colors below brought by the photographers of FishDuck over the last decade... 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 2 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I want a YELLOW Out! Big time highlighter yellow out! Sear your eyes out from the yellow! Oregon has unsual colors for nor just college sports but sports teams in general. Not a whole lot of teams use green, let alone yellow, and we are basically the only true duck mascot out there too. Bring me the bright yellow! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODUCKS15 No. 3 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I'll wear whats in my closet. The Ducks have some cool uniforms and all but there's something to be said for a color coordinated traditional look in the stands where everyone wears the same colors every game. Maybe they don't have Nike money influencing them. A sea of red or red and white or (insert color) vs a Kaleidoscope of colors is IMO a better look.

deschutesduck No. 4 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) The offense is really boring... we should spice things up for TV by getting all the fans to wear black... we're feeling really confident in the remainder of the season so we'd like everyone to dress up like the grim reaper Obviously a bit tongue in cheek there but i was really kinda baffled by them picking black, it's so generic when either green or yellow would really stand out Edited October 13, 2021 by deschutesduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 8 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I was at a game where they gave you a tiny yellow or green flashlight, if I remember correctly, now that was cool. It was like a rock concert, with flashlights, but with Oregon colors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jega No. 9 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Charles, there's nothing like having our Ducks wear their black unis in a black out Friday night lights game in a sold out Autzen Stadium vs Cal. Sco Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woundedknees No. 11 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Nightmare green is close enough to black to get the attention of any viewers watching Oregon stomp an opponent into the turf at Oregon. A stampede on a cattle drive is fast and deadly, compared to the daily grind the cowboys preferred. (At least that's what my grandpa liked to spin yarns about when talking about the long cattle drive he made to get from Oklahoma to Oregon... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven A Moderator No. 12 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Charles, Charles, Charles, no offense, but what us Grey beards think about unis is irrelevant to what the youngins think. How many of us didn't like it at the turn of the century (21st, not 20th!) when Oregon began the non uniform uniforms? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 13 Share Posted October 14, 2021 On TV I think fans wearing black makes it look as if the stadium is empty. I like the highlighter yellow or apple green any time, but especially for TV at night. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us complaining means the fans across the country will be talking about the uniforms, and young kids everywhere will be in awe! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my post again please, as I am NOT discussing uniforms, but what people wear to the game. That color is in the background for photos and on television, and yellow looks best, IMHO. I even provided photos with cool colors in the background to demonstrate my point and it had nothing to do with uniforms. 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were fairly specific with your post, but then the uniform bias came into play and the news about the uniforms clinched it for me. Your post was all about the uniforms, funny how bias comes into play. What you see is what you think you should see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanLduck No. 21 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I was at the game the first time they wore black unis...it was sooo cool when they ran out onto the field. I believe the fans wore black also. It was a surreal experience. That said, a highlighter yellow stadium would make those black unis "pop" as they say in the design world. You are so right Fishduck! But in my experience, Oregon fans seem to wear whatever color they feel like most of the time. Apparently Oregonians don't like to be told what to wear. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's T-shirt weather, I have all kinds of colors to choose from. When it's cold and/or rainy weather, my jackets are green or yellow. And a lot people have those phosphorescent orange rain ponchos! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven A Moderator No. 23 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'll be wearing this (at home, CA) Friday night. Hopefully, the outcome is the same for the original night, 10/31/09. P.S. Oregon was #10 that night, poor U$C #4, goes down 47-20 P.P.S. I wore this to every home game last year .... my cutout pic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
