Oregon picks out their uni combos well before the season even starts, so when they picked this look for this game they had no way of knowing the Utes would choose all-white. I’d argue this would’ve been a fantastic choice for this game (one of the better possible choices, in fact) had the Utes gone with something like red/white/red or some other combo with red or black helmets and pants. I do get your point, but it’s not like the Ducks found out the Utes were going all-white and then decided on this look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be nice if Oregon used this as a teaching moment as to why picking uniforms before the season even starts is a bad idea. Also, I’d absolutely kill for schools to actually get on the phone and talk out uniform choices before deciding. It’s painful how many matchups we get like this where you have both teams wearing white helmets when neither usually wears white helmets. A simple call could solve that problem. How many perfect uniform combo matchups do we miss out on annually because schools don’t communicate? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many perfect uniform combo matchups do we miss out on annually because schools don’t communicate? Huh? I’m sorry, but that just doesn’t make any sense. What, you wanted the Ducks to wait to find out what the Utes were wearing before deciding what they should wear as the home team for this matchup? If anything, it should be the opposite. In soccer, for example, the home team selects their kit first and it’s up to the opponent to pick a contrasting kit (sometimes even needing to wear alternate shorts or socks to avoid a clash). Now I definitely agree with your second point; if schools got on the phone with each other to communicate their uni choices then we’d avoid situations like this. The reality is, unless it’s something like a color vs. color or the home team is planning to wear white or light gray, then the schools probably don’t care about what the other team is gonna wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Cal isn’t just breaking out gold helmets for the 125th Big Game, but a whole new uniform complete with the Stanford Axe on the chest and pants: Put a navy/gold/navy stripe on the helmets and pants and this would be a fantastic full-time look for the Golden Bears (obviously with the axe removed, as well). 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting Toledo vibes from this uniform, but the jersey sleeves are similar to the Oregon Webfoots throwback. Doesn't feel like Cal at all, needs the blue helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're like me and were wondering what the connection was between the Navy and NASA, here's the explanation from Navy's website: Quote Fifty-four United States Naval Academy graduates have gone on to become astronauts, the most of any institution. The first Naval Academy graduate to become an astronaut was Alan Shepard ('45), who was the first American in space (May 5, 1961) and was one of NASA's first seven astronauts. Shepard's second space flight was on Feb. 5, 1971, when Apollo 14 landed on the moon and he went on two moonwalks. In 1985, Naval Academy graduate Bruce McCandless II ('58) took the first untethered spacewalk, venturing further away from the confines and safety of a ship than any previous astronaut.
