The 1916 Oregon Webfoots football team represented the University of Oregon in the 1916 college football season. It was the Webfoots' 24th overall and first season as a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC). The team was led by head coach Hugo Bezdek, in his fourth year, and played their home games at Kincaid Field in Eugene and at Multnomah Field in Portland.
Oregon finished the season with a record of seven wins, zero losses and one tie (7–0–1 overall, 2–0–1 in the PCC) and with a victory over Penn in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
This was first Oregon football team to play to the school's Mighty Oregon fight song, which was first performed on January 7, 1916.[1]
In 2016 the Oregon Ducks wore Webfoot throwback jerseys in their game vs. Washington to celebrate the 100th anniversary of both the fight song and the 1916 squad.[2]
The tops are navy blue with yellow lettering with "Webfoots" across the chest. The bottoms are black.
