There was an issue with the schedule.
Leave it to sports fans to find new and creative ways to get under the skin of their rivals.
A perfect example popped up this week after the Oregon Ducks released their “color schedule” for the 2025 college football season. That schedule lists what color Ducks fans should wear for each Oregon football game.
There was a minor issue with the schedule, though, because it calls for Ducks fans to wear black for the Sept. 20 home game against the Oregon State Beavers.
Black is, of course, one of the Beavers’ colors. Oregon State fans seized on the opportunity, with a fan on an OSU message board encouraging others to wear orange to the game to make sure that Autzen Stadium is covered in orange and black.
Oregon fans noticed as well.
“Is there any logic used when deciding what fans should wear?” one fan commented on the GoDucks Facebook post announcing the color schedule. “Cause expecting your fans to wear the color of their opponent isn’t very intelligent.”
