I don't know why, but I'll bet it happened during the Jim Walden era!

So are the Oregon Ducks. In fact, the number of total combinations for their new uni's and helmets is staggering.

I vaguely remember hearing about this... I'm pretty sure it was during the Walden era... it had something to do with a reward system... players were given one color (I think the gold) and could earn the other (red) somehow...

*3 During at least 1983 and 1984, and possibly in 1985 and 1986 also, at least some players wore an "inverted" version of this helmet (red shell, yellow logo, one yellow stripe, with red facemask). Most sources indicate that the red helmets were "awarded" to certain players for good performances, and I believe this is probably accurate, though I have not seen many photographs showing both helmet colors in use at the same time (I have seen some). Taken from the helmet project website. www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/

That would be when Jim Criner was the head 'clone, not Jim Walden (although Walden was quirky enough to have done something like that!)

here is a pic of the 3 different helmets Oregon will be wearing next fall. I guess at one time they were looking at having chrome helmets but it did not work out. Unlike the Iowa State teams the ducks will wear matching helmets each week.

here is a pic of the 4 different uniforms the ducks will be wearing this fall. Last year they had 9 different combo's of uniforms with 3 different sets, now with the green set they can mix and match even more. Must be nice to have NIKE in your back pocket.

Sorry the picture of Iowa State did not show up when I made my post about the Ducks. I'm sure all of their helmets will match though.

I bet the last guy left in a yellow helmet felt like a huge looser.

The Nike Band uniforms they wear are even worse.
They literally look like aliens.
