It's traditional yellow-green-yellow with upgraded touches and a new winged helmet. With Duck fans requested to form a stripe out in the stands, Autzen Stadium is going to pop for the 2025 football season opener.

The modern iconic Duck adorns a shoulder patch. The gloves are green on the outside and yellow in the palms. Green shoes with a yellow swoosh. It's clean, it's upgraded, it will look good on television and recruits are going to love them.

Yellow pants and wrist bands complete the look. The colors are crisp. The details are fire. Although I'm not particularly a uniform guy, I love the mix of tradition and innovation. Oregon will play fast and look sharp.

The wings are raised with texture. Legends approve.

But the most exciting thing about the new uniforms is how hard this squad has worked to earn them. With a record of 35-6 in three seasons and a 20-0 over the last twenty home openers this is a program where the uniform means something and there is a connection to the greats who have worn it before.

It's kind of cool that this set debuts for the first time KJ Smith runs through the tunnel. Maybe he'll get some snaps in the fourth quarter.
