Week 6: Dec 12, 2020
With four teams not playing its a quiet "last regular season" weekend. WSU was going to be all grey/white, and Colorado went all black with a "BLM" helmet.

Week 5: Dec. 5, 2020
This week was the first week without any teams cancelling due to Covid-19. But other than that the only notable uniform choices were Arizona State's 1975 fauxbacks, and the grey outfits that both Oregon and Arizona donned. Arizona often does a military-appreciation/USS Arizona set each year, so I guess this is in that tradition. Oregon's "Wolf Grey" is just kinda out of nowhere.

Week 4: Nov 28, 2020
A colorful weekend, with the former-Civil War being battled in the fog in traffic-cone-like uniforms, and only three road teams wearing white.

Week 3: November 21, 2020
Another week or cancelations that sidelined 4 teams this week! That means this is week one for Utah. All four of the remaining home teams went full blackout, with Oregon's "Ohana" Polynesian-themed set being the most notable. Utah ditched player NOB for keywords Hope, Peace, Enough, Unity, Together, Love and Equality. Washington's black set was for the dogs... literaly inspired by black huskies (but honestly the only noticeable canine touches appear to be mottling on the under shirt/pants and a way too subtle pattern on shoulders?

Week 1: November 7, 2020
The shortened 2020 season got off to a start (kinda) today! Unfortunately the Cal-UW and UA-Utah games were cancelled due to positive Covid-19 tests.
This season is unique in the fact that the six months of lockdown before the usual season start resulted in a lack of notable uniform changes during the summer. All 12 teams are using the mostly-same uniform template from last season.
The trends this week are a large number of white combos: Stanford, WSU, and ASU did whiteouts, and UA mostly white (if they played). Interestingly, both teams from Oregon went dark. UO sported their Nightmare Green with yellow helmets and OSU went all black. Utah would have sported its annual throwback uniforms.

2020 season coming soon
With the pandemic causing all kinds of havoc around the sports world the last six months, college football has sputtered to a start this month. The Pac-12 will be the ones fashionably late to the party on Nov. 7, for a brief 6 or 7 game schedule of division rivals.
Let's see how fashion forward they will be this year. Usually the preseason has been the time for all the programs to be touting their "new" uniforms, buts it's been painfully quiet on that front.

2019-20 In Review
College football is over (kinda-with the natty still left) but all we care about is Pac-12 and it's done for the season!
This season is one of the easiest to wrap up since it was a relatively unremarkable year uniform. Even the peacocks of the group (Oregon, ASU, Arizona and Utah) were unusually sedate this year.
The teams that affectively did not change their base uniforms in 2019: Cal, Stanford, WSU, and all of the South.
Muddier colors: Oregon State's new "white" uniforms were actually a creamy color which was interesting. Arizona State used a "black" that looks more like some kind of fuzzy sweatpant that has been thru the wash too many times. Oregon ditched true black and replaced it with "Nightmare Green" which in many situations looks like black or mud.
Few throwbacks, or alternate uniforms: Arizona did its usual USS Arizona tribute helmet and Dick Tomey throwback. Utah has some special helmets and several throwbacks. Cal did its annual throwback. But Oregon had no "special" uniforms for the first time in a while.
Lots of helmets in the state of Arizona. Between ASU and UA, there were many small changes to helmets. The Sun Devils felt like they had a new combo each week if you count stripes, logo sizes and facemasks. Arizona had some repeats but changed up the facemasks to give a new look most weeks.

Trends:
Few major revamps: Even with Oregon "redesigning" again, it was a very incremental change. Washington and Oregon State also redesigned more, but neither were revolutionary. UW got simpler and OSU got a bit more complex with pattern and color.
