Best uni is carbon pants, yellow jersey, and carbon helmet.

I love the carbon pants… but only when worn with the carbon helmet and white jersey, otherwise it doesn’t look good.

The carbon pants are the worst I have ever seen.
They are about as bad as the puke yellow helmets of the past. Let’s go with the all black or
the same uni as was worn against WSU.

How can you think those uniforms are attractive, they are absolutely hideous. Nike, you are just embarrassing yourself with this garbage. Come on Phil, you’re better than that…

@LawDuck – I guess that would make a ton sense. Its too bad though, I would love to see them bad boys in action. I guess I still get the opportunity to see our Ducks fight hard against them SC boys. Have fun at the game guys and go ducks! (whatever helmets they may be wearing)

@Rook1 – No. Rob Mosely at the Register-Guard reports each week on what helmets are being worn in practice. They’ve never worn the carbon helmets.

The reason for rule of not wearing a helmet without first practicing in it is the need to make sure they fit right. Game time is the wrong time to discover your helmet doesn’t fit right.

@Rook1: the same information regarding the helmets was just confirmed to me, and it was reaffirmed that silver/black/silver is what we’ll be wearing. Take that for what it’s worth.

Not sure about that LawDuck. The helmets were completed and assembled in a rush late last week. Is it possible that they practiced with them already? Don’t know…I don’t live in Eugene.

alright… i understand that you don’t believe me, and i respect your opinion. all i am saying is that the players themselves have come out and said to all the students that they are wearing the all black uniforms

@Law Duck: Not 100% but I’m thinking that was the foggy Civil War game. And unfortunately I kind of agree with you re: the helmet situation.

Idaho duck: Your statement is 100-% false.

The suggested uniform combination in the picture above resembles a prison work yard
uniform. Dull and Boring….

We need to use that Retro at least once more.
Players loved it, Alums loved it, looked great on TV…..

Some years ago (not too many) Oregon came out for warmups in one uniform, then changed before coming our for the game into some other, more cool uniform. Wish I could remember when and what the uniform was.

Anyhow, if there is any institutional memory there, it wouldn’t surprise me to see the same thing on Saturday – they’ll come out in one color for warmups and all black for the game. Fans will go nuts.

Also, no chance of carbon helmets. Oregon never, ever, ever wears a new helmet without practicing in it for a few days. Doing so is a recipe for disaster.

from greenthumb:
Why can’t the fans wear black?

____________________

Somebody has a short memory as to what has happened in the past when the students wanted the ‘blackout’ and it took on serious racial overtones and the night was not pleasant.

We have already had our embarrassed behavior for the year…why even come close to some more? Black..especially on a rainy/foggy night is about as dull, lethargic, and non-exciting
as it could be. Yellow shows up well in person or on TV. For a National audience, I think we
need to show OUR colors…in our attire AND
the way the game is played. That would be
Green and Yellow.

players have been telling the students to wear all black to the game because they are wearing all black
