The last time we saw something similar to this combo was the Holiday Bowl in 2022.

For those who can’t see the pictures because they don’t have X.

A good time for a different, clean look. A clean slate.

The stormtrooper look is great with this year's unis.

Don't want to be negative, but these units give me a bad feeling. Not a bit of green or yellow. Oi vey!

The all-white uniforms give me a feeling of confidence. When I was about thirteen I joined the junior firefighters because the local fire department had two regulation pool tables above the truck garage. The game we played was called “eight ball”. Of the fifteen numbered balls, 1-7 balls are solid colored, and 9-16 have a stripe around the ball with white on each side of the stripe. The eight ball is black. After the break the first shooter could pick between the solids (called stars) and the striped balls. Another name for the game was Stars and Stripes. The game was won by making all seven of your chosen balls, then making the black eight ball. It took us several turns to get to shoot at the eight ball, and usually not get that black ball in on the first try, or even the second.

When I was fifteen the fire department put one of their pool tables up for sale and my Dad bought it. We kids knew our Dad had a misspent youth, poker, pool and so forth. All of that ended when he started dating Mom. But, there were stories that he was the county pool champion and occasionally some old guy would remark about his exploits at pool. He had the marble-topped table installed in the large room over the garage and had it leveled and completely refurbished with new bumpers, pockets and felt.

Then Dad gathered my three older brothers for a game. Maybe I should say for a display of his skill. I was just watching while Dad would spin the cue ball off his target ball into position for his next shot, planning at least two, and sometimes three shots ahead. He would shoot, reach for the chalk and be moving into position for his next shot while the balls were still rolling. Always getting just the right amount of chalk on the tip of his cue stick. He could make that white ball dance around the felt.

One evening I challenged Dad to play eight ball and after losing several games I asked him why it was so difficult for me to make the eight ball. He said: “Michael, when you look at something, what you see is the reflection of light. The color black doesn’t reflect much light.”

So when I see OBD garbed in black I expect that the QB will miss seeing a few wide open receivers. Much easier to see them in white, or even bright yellow. Chrome?

The numbers are mallard green if you watch the video.

Built for recruits.

Oregon Ducks' New Uniforms Are Built to Impress Recruits Nationwide

Like them but by all that is right in this world there should always be noticeable green. Maybe an irridescent green on the numbers or a thing green outlining the numbers or somesuch detail.

I love the stormtroopers!

They should be reserved for our biggest away game every year, IMO. Since it didn’t make sense to wear them for the Penn State whiteout, I would have kept them for the Fusky game.

I don’t understand why the AD doesn’t try to coordinate the fan’s color with the team’s uniforms. Fans are being asked to wear green again (just like the Penn State game) but the uniforms are white, black and silver).

Doesn’t make sense to me.

“Oregon's uniform combination is based on the "Warp Speed" all white (with black and silver details) jersey from the "Generation O" line released in 2024.”

Amen Duck-Brother. Most of what they suggest is stupid-as-hell.

The only yellow anyone has are T-Shirts, so suggest yellow EARLY in the season, when it is warm and the clothing fits the climate.

Fans wearing black just drowns out the color in the stadium, and is just plain dumb.

I love two aspects of it:

--the jersey number is black, but when the light hits it--it turns to green. Cool!

--that helmet ROCKS! I may want to change my avatar to that soon!

Leaving Huskies in the dust...

Wow. The helmet is NOT white, but "white-marble."

"The Ducks wills also wear a new helmet combination featuring a white marble base with black wings and black face cage."

Cool!

Kinda reminds me of gravestones?

I can handle it but still like some green and yellow somewhere. I guess it would ruin the look. I don't care if we flog Rutgers 52-3

I would prefer the fans wear whatever the heck they want. Too many choices and it is never uniform. Let's just be fans without a uniform, just like our team. Google Webster's definition of uniform!
