The best uniform combos of 2008 part 1

First to make a decision on the best uniform in 2008 we need to take a look back at the games.....

O how can we forget the first combo of the season the classic look all green!!! Not my favorite but at the same time you cant dis-like all green. Really anything looks good when you take down the fuskies 44-10

Maybe be the worst combo of the season came against Utah state.  I guess it was the yellow helmet that made it so weird/ugly!  Yellow helmet, Green top, Black bottom. But i did like the yellow helmet in the game against Boise State.  Ducks 66 Aggies 24

Our first road game of the year Purdue.  We saw the white helmets 5th appearance. White White Green.  I have already heard from someone this was one of there top combos but I like the green white green combo better.( seen at Wsu)

ya thats right I couldn't just chose one!

The best combo I have seen with the yellow helmet came against Boise State!! It was the 4th time we seen the yellow helmet. To bad it was a 32-37 loss for the ducks=(.   Ducks are only 1-3 with the yellow helmet.... 1-2 with the green O on the sides.

The poll should maybe cite games for examples.

i.e. White/white/green/white, (Purdue 08, UCLA 07.)

Also, the SC and Beaver combos were slightly different in that the shoes/socks were white and black, respectively, which is a slight but significant difference when seen.

Not to bring the post down at all, nice pictures.

My Two Cents

We should only wear a non-green helmet with one particular uniform combo, like white only for the all-white Stormtrooper look, and black only for the Blackout look. If we cut down to only these combinations, I’d be okay"
ROAD
G-W-G – the road uniform. end of story.
W-W-W – once a year, for Husky or Beaver games most likely.

HOME
G-G-G – the default look.
G-Y-G – once a year, maybe a Husky game
G-G-Y – once a year, maybe twice if Civil War and I Hate Washington Day are on the road.
G-Y-Y – Home Civil War
B-B-B – Non-Civil War Senior Day only

Things we can retire:
Grellow helmets: I do not need to elaborate on this. Our only win in them is against Utah St. Let’s just move on.

Black or yellow pants on the road: The white jersey is green and white. Any other pants but green and white look mismatched. See the Dixon Apocalypse and last year’s ASU game. No mas por favor.

Black unis for anything but a Blackout game: Any uniform combo that looks good with a black jersey or pants looks just as good with green, and green is a school color. I enjoy the G-G-B combo, and the G-B-B look, but why not save the black for a special occasion? It’ll be like the tuxedo of the Oregon football wardrobe.

Having all the combinations is nice, but why not wear the ones that work instead of wearing new combinations just to wear them? I understand innovation is our tradition, but there’s a limit.

This comment will probably be rendered moot when Uncle Phil debuts a new kit.

I agree that you can replace black with green in every case but this one. I love it, i love it, i love it.

You are missing the best uniform combination from 2008 in your list. By far, the peeled banana look was the best

What's amazing about all this...

Is that these uni pics only span HALF OF THIS YEAR. I’m excited for all the posts going back 10+ years.

But we are in agreement, the WSU unis are the best.

Can I like them all the best?

My favorite is the Utah St combo, but not in real life just this post. In that picture it looks like The Sleeve is sporting the yellow helmet and not a Grellow helmet. I think we could have done a lot better with the yellow, but i think we should just kill it now.

I like the Wazzu and Purdue games the best, and I cant wait till the second half.

Kill the diamond plating

I’m on a crusade to get rid of that. Always have been, always will be.

The yellow helmets, too. They’re pretty terrible and never – ever – look very good.

My favorite combo so far is the White/White/Green or Green/White/Green. Call me old-fashioned. Green/Yellow/Green is probably my absolute favorite though.

by Doug-e-Fresh on Mar 31, 2009 10:53 PM PDT reply actions  

I understand that people don’t like them because it doesn’t relate at all to the uniforms, but I think the diamond plating uniforms are the best series we’ve had so far.

And I use to be on the same side of the line of the grellow, and while they are my least favorite helmets, and they would be better if they were lightning yellow… I don’t really mind them anymore. A few photos, I’ve actually liked them.

I agree with the removing the diamond plate

It has been there far too long, and can just look unclassy. I think the uniforms are sharper without, think back to the “roboduck ’99” days when we brought in the “O” with the likes of Peter Sirmon and Reuben Droughns, those looked sharp. I just can’t wait for the future, I think changing the uniforms up makes the team look fast, new, and like winners. Gotta love our favorite Uncle.

This thread is already falling behind the times. Now we have silver helmets.

Though the silver's obviously a joke...

That’s a Schutt Ion-D helmet, which we didn’t previously have. Only DNAs and Revos, is it possible we’ve jumped to the next generation of helmets too?

I liked both the green pants away uniform combos a lot..

As for the home combos – out of these sets, I like the opener, all green look.

I would say next to nill. It might be a real helmet, but I doubt it going to be ever used. Ever.

My two favs were against Boise State (currently nervously awaiting their eminent annihilation by Oregon) and the uniforms against Utah State…

"Its Peanut Butter Jelly Time" is truly an awful song...The Banana suit guy needs to stop dressing up for football games at Autzen...
