Sweet Rumor: The Oregon Brand is at WORK!

Recommended Posts

The murmurs from inside the program are that Oregon is having an overall update of the football uniforms--for 2024 as a splash into the B1G!  Apparently there are some throwbacks in there?

Would they go back this far for a throwback?

(So pure...love the leg stripe!)

I think this was definitely to be expected especially for our B1G debut. I'm excited to see what we come out with. In my opinion the uniforms should reflect the culture currently in place; which is one of strength, intimidation, determination, and skill.

 

Our uniforms of the 2000s, and teens reflected a very finesse team that was based almost purely on speed and agility. Our teams no longer have to rely on being the fastest on the field to win. We can run out on to the field these days knowing we almost always boast a stronger, larger, more physically fit team that will win any way it takes. Our uniforms should reflect this philosophy!

If you want the Oregon brand to continue to work, you let the Nike designers have their way. They're the ones who developed the uniform thing, and they're the ones who are in touch with design trends. Sure, there were some uglies along the way, but Oregon uniforms have consistently been, by far, the best in the nation for years and years. This is what Nike does; let them keep doing it, and if throwbacks are the thing, go with it. Throwbacks don't do much for me, and I'm an old fart. I'd rather the uniforms appeal to the kids who want to play for Oregon, now and in the future, kids who were a long way from being born when the old uniforms were in use.

Agree about throw backs and Im also an old dude. I see now that Nike is doing the new updated uni's for many  schools. Its important that keep the Ducks out front in this regard and be different.

I personally love the feathers look, and would love to see a more holistic uniform incorporating more feathers. 

 

I am no designer, but it would seem someone could have the helmet feathers all the way down to the shoes with a feather theme that works.

 

I mean if we can do a pretty much complete eggshell look we can do a better job with feathers. Reason being is we are going to fly into the future, not lay anymore eggs!

Check out Oregon's best uniforms through the years.


Nike has definitely helped with the branding of Oregon Duck sports. 
 

Having a retro uniform roll out is cool, and keeping things fresh year to year is what we do…however, there have been a few duds along the way that can stay permanently retired. 

 

I am not a huge fan of grey pants, and/or jerseys. I just need to remember that if the players and potential recruits think the uniforms are cool, then I am good with it as well.

At least they're not Under Armour!  Ugly!

Don't the players have heavy input in the design?

I'll be happy to move on from the Mario Cristobal era block font.

 

It's tough to make a uni pop without getting too busy.

 

I wonder if going to the B1G will make them try to look more conservative/historical, or just focus on us and do something innovative? I hope it is the latter..

 

That being said, Im all for throwback uniforms we wore when we beat Ohio State and Michigan in the past, hehe. Just a friendly reminder to the B1G,  "We're here to destroy you."
