Oregon Ducks Release Black Uniform Combination for Big Ten Championship vs. Penn State

The cleats are black with silver paint spraying from the foot of the shoe, seemingly intended to emulate the look of spray paint.

As for the helmet, you'll spot a green, shiny base with an almost matte silver Oregon "O" on the sides of the helmet. "Ducks" is in a light grey on the base of the skull. The eye guard is a black holographic shift with a black face mask. This particular helmet design has yet to be seen on the field this year.

Oregon fans are encouraged to wear green in Indianapolis to match the Ducks' uniforms.

This uniform combination folds into Oregon's 2024 line called "Generation O." Each uniform is inspired by the past decade of Oregon's fashion influence across college athletics. Each uniform was designed by Van Horne Brands and Nike with input from the program, and produced in Portland, Oregon.

The “Generation O” collection includes the “Gang Green” all-green combination worn during the Ducks’ season opener against the Idaho Vandals, the “Mighty Oregon” white uniform with green helmet and green pants worn for the rivalry game against Oregon State, the “Heroes” uniformdesigned by Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s wife Sauphia Lanning and the family for a special cause and the Michigan State game, the previously mentioned “Fly Era” all black uniforms debuting against the Ohio State Buckeyes, and the also mentioned “Warp Speed” all white uniforms taking the field against Michigan. It's presumed all the uniforms for the "Generation O" line have been released.

Why does Oregon have such innovative fits for the field? Thank sportswear company Nike. The brand and it's founder, Phil Knight, has a longstanding relationship with the University of Oregon and often tests their newest technology on Oregon athletes. A Youtube video released before the start of the 2024 season delves into the history behind the “swoosh” and the “O”.

Oregon’s new uniform era is overseen by a group of football athletes and Oregon Equipment Administrator, Kenny Farr. The “Uniform Committee” chose particular decades of Oregon Football to honor through their uniform designs, and is crucial in approving designs before they’re manufactured by a company in Portland, Oregon. Farr joined the Oregon program in 2008 and is instrumental in the way Oregon utilizes their unique uniform designs.

You can catch this Oregon uniform combination when Oregon takes on the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, November 16th at 4:30pm.
