Oregon Ducks Throwback Uniform Concepts - Civil War - 2010 Oregon 37 @ Oregon St. 20
Now, for some possible Duck 'Civil War' throwback stylistics, based off of Seth Prince's Oregonian article; "Civil War: 5 Moments that fanned the flames of the rivalry."
1910's Blue and Yellow Webfoots (Past & Present): Following a 12-0 Oregon victory in Corvallis, fans of both teams began a verbal argument that escalated into exceedingly rowdy behavior as Ducks fans returned to the train station to leave. The UO's public relations department spread stories of (then) Oregon Agricultural College hooliganism to the statewide press, offending students of OAC and causing the rivalry to be suspended for 1911.
1937 (Past & Present): Oregon students found taunting Beavers on campus and began pelting them with tomatoes and water balloons. Some Oregon State students were dragged off the street and thrown into the millrace that flows near campus. Others were forcefully taken to Skinner's Butte, stripped and forced to repaint the 'O' yellow and then forced to slide down the painted surface. By 1 p.m., most Oregon State students had fled the riot, some with torn clothes and black eyes and missing shoes.
1954 (Past & Present): Captive Oregon students had their heads shaved, were painted orange and black and some were forced to do housework at fraternities. One was led through campus bearing a sign that read: "I'm a dumb Duck." Oregon won that year 33-14.
1960 (Past & Present): Oregon State student body president Dick Seideman received a ransom note demanding he ride a child's scooter to 13th and University Street in Eugene and make a public appeal for recently abducted OSU's homecoming queen and her safe return.
1972 (Past & Present): Ducks fans made a rush at the south goal post at then-Parker Stadium in the closing moments of a 30-3 victory. When the fans turned to go after the north goal post, Oregon State fans attempted to defend it and both sides engaged in a brawl.
Ducks will be sporting the carbon helmets, white jersey, matte gray pants, and silver shoes today. I dig! Go Ducks!
