Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted July 9, 2022 OK...I am not wild about the eggshell uniform, but the players like it. Then I noticed this Instagram of Richard Young....and I have to admit that the Gold in the shoulders and numbers is kinda cool. 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Libby No. 2 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I could be wrong about any of this, but my recollection is that new recruits often seem to be photographed wearing previous versions of Oregon uniforms during their visits, or slight variations. For example, in the past two years I've repeatedly seen photos of recruits in the Puddles-style uniform with the orange socks, but the team has not taken the field wearing those in several years. As for these eggshell uniforms, they are so rapturously hideous it seems like the uniforms were designed specifically to annoy old guys like us. But it's the nature of the game. College football is the bait in the business of corporations fishing for jerseys sales and TV contracts. I love my Ducks, but I feel like I could curate an entire museum of ill-advised and instantly-dated Oregon uniform combinations and misuse of non-Kelly shades of green. But don't listen to me: my football uniform tastes are forever locked in the early '80s. Edited July 9, 2022 by Smith72 Spacing 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 3 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I think it is the same uniform but the lighting is doing something to it make it look a little different color wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie No. 5 Share Posted July 9, 2022 While I have my favorite uniforms and also some of which I am not particularly fond, at this point whatever unis they wear when they win are my preferred! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goutes18 No. 14 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I love so many of the Duck uniforms, but don’t get the mud splatter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 15 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Green and yellow are our colors. Not gold, not black, certainly not orange, never blue, heaven forbid purple and their other color is gold so, again, not gold! But, if a 5* recruit thinks it is cool and signs then it's ok.

But if you get any distance at all it does look like mud. Add in a grass stain like at the UCLA game last year and it looks like the Ducks just played in a muddy field which seems extra silly in southern California.

Quackerbacker No. 18 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Pretty much love about 99% of the uniforms we come up with including these. It's our genre now to be new and innovative on the field(hopefully), with our uniforms, and our facilities. High school kids love this about Oregon. It's cool to be a Duck!
