College Football Playoff
I really wanted to root for Oregon, but their uniforms are soooo ugly, that it's hard to root for them.

They're plainer than some I've seen them wear, but they are garish, I'll give you that.

I generally agree about the ugliness of the Oregon uniforms. I'm a management consultant and have been working at Nike for the past 4 years. Nike does the uniforms for a lot of college teams (including my alma mater TCU - fear the frog), but the founder of Nike is an Oregon Duck as are roughly 40% of the corporate staff. Nike pretty much designs a new uniform for them for every game. Most of them are awful. But then if you were ever to be on the Nike campus, you'd swear no one there has any sense of style or color. Other than gaudy, of course.
Occasionally they come up with nice designs - TCU for instance - but generally in those cases the schools have told Nike "uh, no, that's just ugly, try again". Oregon, however, apparently doesn't feel they can say "no" to their #1 donor, and let the Nike designers continue their search for the grossest colors of green and ugliest designs imaginable.

I also think the Oregon uniforms are hideous. From a player standpoint, I would be embarrassed to wear some of them.
From my perspective, it takes away from your team identity. For instance, the team might be on the field wearing shiny silver uniforms with gold wings/feathers and metal flake silver helmets but the fans are in the stands wearing green and yellow. It just seems odd to me. You go to most games anywhere and the fans in the stands are wearing the exact same thing as the team on the field. That is part of being a fan and identifying with your team. I for one will be glad when that fad passes and teams go back to tradition.
