It's a blackout.

Oregon is going with the all black look versus USC this Saturday. Although I have been a little thrown off by the excessive use of black this season, I must admit, I always love the all black combo.

The green lids are a nice touch imo, and I like the all black wings.

All in all, not my favorite combination ever, but I like it. What do you guys think?

I think we have worn black too many times this season; it is no longer special. And a crowd wearing black will not show up well on TV...

And pass receivers wearing black will not show up very well while racing away from a quarterback searching for them through the upraised arms of onrushing defenders.

When will the uniform gurus realize that because black does not reflect light it’s difficult to see?

Maybe it will make for more interceptions.

In a word, no.

I loved the old 'midnight green' look. But this is not good. An all dark green theme would have been great.

Or if the jersey and pants matched the helmet - green with black trim, that would have worked as well.

Or if they insist on the black look, then take the green off the helmet and make it silver. OK, black jersey, silver helmet and silver pants - at least that would look coordinated, even if no where near team colors.

But I could be totally wrong -what matters is what it looks like on the field.

Oops, my bad - it's nightmare green

As a stand alone.... Yeah they look cool.

But this is game 6 we have worn black with only green or yellow as an accent color and not the main event.

In exhausted of it.

Final thought: Still not nearly as bad as those orange socks look (match the mascot).

Second worst was the eggshell.

Maybe the old 'antifreeze' helmets would go with the all black look? And antifreeze pants? I would dig that.

And antifreeze numbers on the black jerseys. Black wings on the antifreeze helmets and a black stripe (or huge swoosh) on the antifreeze pants. Or an antifreeze swoosh on the black pants? I would love to see that combo.
