Ah yes, the Oregon football uniform, Chip Kelly vintage. We all are well aware of the numerous combinations of looks the Ducks can bring to the field on any Saturday.

Arizona 2008: W 55-45, 504 total yards, 298 passing yards
Stats of note:
We really like to run the ball in the Green-Black-Black combo, averaging 291 yards per game on the ground, and 321.2 in Bellotti Bold.
The three games in the Green-White-Black combo: 0-3, including the Cal "Beastmode" game and the Dixonpocalypse. The set wasn't used in 2008. Hopefully this is a trend.
The Ducks are 5-1 in games with a uniform set that is all one color. A "Yellow-out" however, has yet to make an appearance.
We need to find something new to wear to the LA Coliseum. We've worn Green-White-White both times and have lost by a combined score of 79-20.
The Green-Green-Black and Green-Black-Green combos are tough to figure out. With G-G-B, you're getting a nailbiter, as in the Oklahoma comeback and the Cal touchback game. With G-B-G, it's gonna be extreme: Arizona 2006, arguably the worst home loss in Bellotti's tenure, and USC 2007, one of the greatest wins in Oregon football history.
We are 0-2 when we only wear yellow and black uniform parts (Vegas Bowl, Boise St.)
I'm surprised we've only played one game in Green-Yellow-Green. It might be my favorite look.
The combos we still haven't seen(excluding the black lid, grellows on the road and white at home):
A "Yellow-out", White-White-Black (which I think would look good), Green-Green-Yellow (interesting), Yellow-Black-Yellow, and Yellow-Green-Yellow (also interesting), Green-Yellow-Black (hmmm), Yellow-Black-Green and Yellow-Green-Green (meh, i'll pass), and Green-White-Yellow (jesus christ no effing way).
Now, based on all this research, I will attempt to outfit the Ducks for the 2009 season to maximize their chances for an undefeated season.
@Boise St: Stormtroopers - Our two games in all whites have been stark contrasts: a shootout in Seattle, and a soggy turnoverfest in Berkeley. The Broncos are losing five starters from their front seven, and hopefully we can channel some U-Dub magic and run it down their throats. Plus, all whites on the smurf turf will look effing sick.
Purdue: Green-Green-Green - Our home openers in '07 and '08 were in the full greens, and they were both blowouts. The Ducks threepeat in the greens, putting up 40+ points on the Boilermakers.
Utah: Green-Yellow-Green - This set has only been used once, against Portland State, a 55-12 win. 55-12 over the Utes sounds good to me too.
Cal: Green-Black-Black - With a big early game like this one, it's important to go with Mr. Dependable. The Ducks are 6-0 in G-B-B, and will be 7-0 after the game if another 300+ yard rushing performance is in store.
WSU: Green-Green-Yellow - It's a new uniform set! Let's be honest, we can beat Wazzu by 30 if we play in burlap sacks. Let's take this one for a test drive.
@UCLA: Green-White-White - This might be the toughest road game in conference for the Ducks next year, so let's channel Michigan '07 and 65-38 and do work in the Rose Bowl.
@Washington: White-White-Black - It's time to break the black pants on the road curse, and what better way to do it than by beating up on the Fuskies? For those not so bold, Stormtroopers invade Seattle Part 2 will also get a win.
USC: I'm torn on this one. IMO, the two choices are Green-Green-Black, which should produce around 500 yards of offense and a game that comes down to the final minute, or Green-Black-Yellow, which will produce exactly 35 points. Will 35 points be enough to beat the Trojans at home? The last time the Trojans came into Autzen with a first-year starter at QB to face an Oregon team ranked in the top 10 (which we will be if we're undefeated to this point), they only scored 17. 35 should work nicely then. Green-Black-Yellow it is.
@Stanfurd: Green-White-Green - Last time the Ducks went to the Farm, they wore this uniform set and put up 55 point and almost 600 yards of offense. I'd like another helping of that please. Important note: the Ducks have repeated road uniforms like this twice, against USC and WSU last year. They have never repeated a uniform against a team they have beaten while wearing it.
ASU: Blackout - This ASU team seems like a team that will build confidence with a good start, esp. coming off of such a disappointing season as last year. In last year's Blackout game, the Ducks absolutely blew Arizona out of the water in the first quarter. In the all blacks, the Ducks put ASU on their backs and keep them there for the rest of the game.
@Arizona: Green-White-White - In 2005, the Ducks went Green-White-Yellow, and Kellen Clemens broke his leg. In 2007, the Ducks went Green-White-Black, and Dennis Dixon blew out his knee. The problem clearly is in the contrasting color pants. The Ducks wear white on top and bottom, and everbody stays healthy.
OSU: Yellow-Yellow-Yellow - I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the grellows are cursed. We can only beat teams like Utah State in them. And we're undefeated at this point, why risk it all?!?! Here's why: I believe the true power of the yellow lids lies in its pairing with an all yellow uniform. First game in all whites: record setting rushing performance. First game in all black: 45 first half points. We've already broken the black pants on the road curse this year. Let's put these grellows to rest. The Ducks run out in all yellow, the Beavers can't see a thing because it's just too blinding, and the Ducks run up 58 points. Masoli throws for 300, Blount runs for 130, Jamere Holland has 3 TD catches, and WT3 has two picks, and the Ducks are on their way to Pasadena for the NC game.
Bowl game: Green-Black-Black or Green-White-White - We have won our last two bowl games convincingly in G-B-B, and the Ducks were in G-W-W when Joey the Kid beat Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl. All the stars align, Spencer Paysinger breaks both of Tim Tebow's legs on the third play from scrimmage, and the Ducks have a field day with Florida's D. Bellotti starts doing shots in the press box with Uncle Phil and Don Essig in the third quarter.

Fantastic.
But going full banana shouldn’t even be entertained.
Agreed, except...
…it’s always fun to break out something weird and wonderful against the Beevs. That “trial” Bellotti-font thing in ’05 (?) was great, simply because it was so in-your-face … but I was glad they altered it for the next season. Last year, the blackout would have been great to break out for OSU, too … although I was glad to see us draw upon its awesome powers against U of A (A as in Assault our quarterback).
Anyway, I’d vote for yellow hats (lose grellow!), and yellow shirts and pants. It would be as Big a Deal as it was the first time we broke out the color against Miss. State.
I've heard rumors of some camo outfites... can anyone explain?

there were some rumors about Camo being the “new” uniform last year because there is camo incorporated into some of the cheerleader outfits. At this point, I don’t see us going that route…especially with Army donning camo lids. They beat us to the punch

black white black(but not the all black bottoms the ones seen in the Holiday bowl with Oregon down the side of the leg in yellow
i thought about that too. releasing the black helmet both at home and on the road just opens up some crazy possibilities. Also, Black-black-yellow at home.

I am impressed.
Or am I saddened by all the free time you had to do this? Anywho very nice job and to put in my 2 cents worth I am a sucker for the G-G-G look. Something about that green does it for me.
I also like the break down of uni’s for this upcoming year. It will be interesting to come back to that during the season to see if CK took your uniform advice and more importantly how the Ducks faired in the game.

Very clever on the word “highlight”. +1
I’m still advocating for a full yellow vs. full orange civil war. The only thing better would be if it also ended 3-0 Oregon. I’m telling you, it would be the most unwatchable game…for all the right reasons.

I loved that white-white-yellow look we had against ASU
Plus, we dominated in that game. That is a definite must again this year.
i emphatically disagree and here's why:
neither the white helmet nor the white jersey has any yellow in it. i’m all for contrasting pants with jerseys, but that was flat out mismatched. if we had had the green helmets on, it would have looked a little better because of the yellow O on the green lids. But White-white-yellow looks like we’re a white and green football team that lost our pants and the only ones available were yellow.
IMO, how you get that to work is put yellow sleeves on the white jersey, yellow piping around the numbers and wear the green helmet. then the entire look makes sense. but the ASU game is easily my least favorite combination of the era.

I love the stormtrooper outfit!
Absolutely love the all white pants, jersey and helmet (green O).
Robo Duck face guards.
That’s what I want. Just let them try to pull us down by the bill.
Yes your ass looks big, you need to lose weight. Sorry, had to vent.
In all seriousness...
I think our White helmets should have white facemasks instead of black. Bright facemasks are so much more intimidating.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Dear Joevan, Develop motor skills. Love, ATQ.
The green lid is is duck head colored
All shiny and what not. Why not duck bill colored face masks. Oh yeah, bright yellow, convenient. I know the NFL has strict restrictions on face mask color, boring. But NCAA? I don’t know. Do it up ducks.

A white mask would look significantly more like Oklahoma State's helmets.

oh yeah
I hijacked your white helmet thought and made it a green helmet thought. sorry. I wouldn’t mind green face mask on the white helmet either.

Yeah, that could look good if done well.
I just think the black mask on white is a little too neutral. THIS IS OREGON FOOTBALL!

I think the @ UCLA game should be the Purdue combo.
Last time we played at UCLA in the outfit, we were shut out, but I can’t help but love this combo. That is, the White-White-Green-White.
I also think you shouldn’t forget the shoe/sock color in your combos. The difference between the USC and Civil War ’08 games were white and black shoes, respectively. It completely changes the wardrobe!

to get nerdy
The picture is taken under professional photo shoot lighting that is very bright and very different from real life, especially outside from far away or on tv. There was also a good amount of tinkering down with the colors in photoshop to make them “pop.” Those colors are the variations that would be most attractive and appealing on the internet, the colors are the field are designed to look good at the game and especially in HD. So while they are the same, they are also very different, if you follow all that.

I think you need more outfits with representations of the ducks body parts on it. You did great by having, yknow, fake wings on your shoulders. What about having a fake beak? Have you considered a fake beak?
And read this article on duck genitalia and then try to tell me you don’t want to see Masoli in a Duck Dick outfit next year? Just TRY to tell me that!

There actually was an idea in motion like 2 years ago to have a purple streak on the top of the helmet, like a Mallard's.
I am not joking.

See, heres the confusing part, JShu. My above comment was a joke.
I’ll break it down further for you. I, an unabashed asshole, used words and phrases to construct an allegedly funny sentence (or four). The hilarity here is based on the preposterousosity of having bird wings on the shoulders of the uniform. And by extending that “bird body part” concept to its illogical extremes, a hilarity possibility opportunity is created.
But, it was you were the one unable to tell me you DIDN’T want the Duck Dick! I had no opinion either way regarding it.
To me, this whole concept is inane. Let’s look at the facts. It’s obvious you have just stolen my beloved Oakland Athletics colors (I’m pretty sure University of Oregon didn’t exist until after 1968).
If I was an Oregon fan (and there’s a 78% chance I am), I would petition the school to change the colors to something better, like blue and gold. Or, alternatively, gold and blue. Now, those are some sold colors.

You know what we should do with the yellow set?
Drop the green shoulders, and just go for a straight yellow and black look. I feel like the dark green and bright yellow clash in the photo. But maybe it’s just me. I just think a yellow torso and black shoulders would look really sick. It’d be like an antipode to the blackout set.

That could be pretty sweet.
I think that would render us the “pocky” combo.
