WATCH: Oregon drops uniform combo for Week 11 versus Washington State
The Ducks unveiled their week 11 uniform combination on Thursday for Saturday’s game against Washington State.
Oregon will sport white pants, green tops with lightening yellow numbers and white helmets with green wings. Coincidentally, the white helmets are the same ones Ducks wore in the upset win at Ohio State, and in the overtime loss at Stanford.
Incredibly, this marks the tenth different uniform combination for Oregon in 10 games this season.
The kickoff for the rivalry game is at 10:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks are up 51-42 in the series, they have a two-game win streak coming into the game.

Oregon started the season hot with a road win over Big Ten favorite Ohio State. However, a rough run, accompanied by bad injury luck, led many to rule out Oregon following its loss against unranked Stanford. An offensive resurgence by Anthony Brown and Travis Dye has them back in the conversation, leaving their relationship with Ohio State up for debate.
The Ducks are one spot ahead of the Ohio State team they beat in Columbus on Sept. 11, demonstrating how much the CFP committee values head-to-head matchups.
