Week 8: October 17, 2019

Stanford pulled out its annual all-black ensemble, and boy was that a funereal game for them, losing to previously-1-win UCLA. Ouch. Lots of road teams going mono-white this week. WSU in a great classic crimson/gray combo. Oregon, Utah and Stanford all chroming their helmets.

Midseason uniform review

With most or all Pac-12 teams having played half their season already, here are some interesting (or boring) uniform notes at the midpoint:

North

  • California has been pretty normal with a good rotation of its blue, white and yellow. Blue helmets as usual, and a blue pants for all but one game.
  • Oregon has not repeated a combo yet, and has been more varied than last year when it went mono the first half. Two games each for its apple, nightmare and yellow hats.
  • Oregon State has gone mono each game (except for helmets)
  • Stanford...nothing to report here
  • Washington State has been like Oregon in not repeating a combo and using its closet well.

South

  • All the south has been unremarkable and normal...ditto about using their colors well.
  • BUT, Utah has pulled out its annual retro set and Arizona did a retro helmet once.


Overall, a pretty quiet first 2 months of the season. None—or very little—special occasion uniforms or throwbacks. Makes me wonder why I even did this post! LOL
