So how do you keep up as a fan?

For starters, the Oregon athletic department set up a color schedule for each game, both home and away. This schedule gives fans a starting place for where to go with your game day attire.

First thing to note is that many Oregon fans tend to keep their GameDay look sporty and athletic. So, those Facebook photos you see of your friends in the South wearing dresses and pearls may look a little out of place as you are making the walk over the Willamette to Autzen Stadium. Keep it simple and make sure you are comfortable.

Here is how to make the most of each color.

WHITE

Oregon understands the fashion faux-pas of wearing white about Labor Day, as the only game scheduled for white was the home-opener on August 30 against South Dakota State, so the is one less color you will have to worry about for this season. However, it is never to late to plan ahead. It will most likely be hot, so make sure you keep it cool with a light and white T-shirt and a pair of shorts. To block the sun pick up a white hat or bring out your inner Chip Kelly with a white visor highlighted with a green O.

GREEN

Many of the green games are for later in the season, so make sure to have some green apparel that will keep you warm. One can wear a long sleeve shirt over a classic green game jersey. With the chance of cold wind or rain, make sure to have a green sweatshirt with a hood or windbreaker. Another way to stay warm would be to rock a green beanie or a knit headband. A green scarf accented with yellow would top off your winter wonderful Duck spirited outfit.

YELLOW 

If you plan to head to L.A. or the Bay Area to cheer on the Ducks this season, you will need some yellow swag. Nothing says “Go Ducks” more than a bright yellow shirt with a typical Oregon saying like “Win the Day” or “Quack Attack.” You will be seeing more sun those weekends than the entire winter term so make sure to pick up a pair of yellow sunglasses to match.

BLACK

For the home games against Arizona and Stanford, fans are encouraged to wear black in what will be two revenge games for the Ducks, as Oregon fell to both teams in last season’s Pac-12 play. Come wearing a sleep black Oregon jacket and dark jeans. Put on a black beanie or even drape a huge black Oregon flag around your neck. Yes, very superhero style. Finish off the tough look with some face decals or face paint.
