"Where's the Green?" : Fans go mad at imaginary Oregon uniform that resembles Michigan's for Ohio State matchup in Rose Bowl 

The Oregon Ducks will play in the Rose Bowl this year in the second round of the College Football Playoff, with the No. 1-seeded Ducks facing their Big Ten rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The meeting between Oregon (13-0) and Ohio State (11-2) could be an iconic matchup after the Ducks held on to beat the visiting Buckeyes 32-31 in October. Meanwhile, one fan has proposed that to defeat the Buckeyes, Oregon should wear a unique uniform.

Here is how college football fans reacted to the uniforms.

These fans have highlighted the obvious connection to the Michigan Wolverines.

"Looks too much like Michigan- weird," this fan said.

"So… Michigan?" another fan replied.

"Looks like they forgot their team colors are green and yellow..?they look like Michigan," a fan wrote.

Some fans highlighted the lack of green in the uniforms, something that is a key part of the Oregon Ducks' identity.

"Where is the green damn it 💚💛," a fan wrote.

"Horrible. When did our colors change to blue and yellow?" another replied.

"Where’s the green?" a fan posted.

Some believe that if the Ducks were to wear this uniform, Ohio State would struggle in the game.

"wow, this is so creative. The OSU coaches and players will start pooping their pants when they see those maize and blue colors," a fan commented.

"Utilizing Ryan Day’s fear, master class 👍," another posted.

"😂 taking advantage of the Michigan trauma I see," a fan wrote.

"Freaking Buckeye kryptonite," another replied.

Why a Michigan uniform could help Oregon

The uniforms are not real, and the Oregon Ducks are not planning to play the Rose Bowl game against Ohio State dressed like this.

However, what they highlight is something that has been an issue for the Buckeyes in recent years: Ohio State's inability to defeat its rival, the Michigan Wolverines.

The Buckeyes have lost the last four meetings, with Ohio State ranked No. 2 in all of them.

Three of the losses could be expected, as the Wolverines and Buckeyes were in the top five. Michigan was No. 3 and Ohio State No. 2 when the Wolverines won 30-24 en route to winning the national title last season. Then-No. 3 Michigan trounced then-No. 2 Ohio State 45-23 in 2022. And then-No. 5 Michigan blasted then-No. 2 Ohio State 42-27 in 2021.

But this season, the then-No. 2 Buckeyes were by far the stronger team and should have easily won.

However, this did not happen, and the 13-10 loss to unranked Michigan (7-5) denied Ohio State the chance to play in the Big Ten Championship game.
