by Bryan Kalbrosky

Always a cool day to be an Oregon fan: when we get to see the first Nike uniforms of the season.

In this album by Oregon Football on Facebook, Nike released the uniforms that Oregon will wear for the upcoming spring game tomorrow morning. The uniforms (one set in black and one set in white) also feature “Support Our Troops” lettering highlighted on the backs of the jerseys.

 

Perhaps another highlight is the slick and clean helmet and American flag golden stitching on the jerseys.

Oregon fans look forward to kickoff at the intersquad game at 11:00 AM on April 27.

Oregon Ducks Football: Autzen Stadium on 10/30

Check out this beautiful picture of a rainbow over Autzen Stadium this morning.

Pretty awesome photograph, certainly iconic and indicative of Eugene, Ore. and one that would look darn good on a postcard to send back home. 

This is also pretty funny, though. Because as far as I was aware … IT NEVER RAINS IN AUTZEN STADIUM.

Oregon Football: New ‘Oregon Is Faster’ Jerseys Announced and Unveiled

Look at these bad boys. Are there even any need for words?

Some necessary information to know about the uniforms:

  • Strength: The armored wing design rests on a new high tenacity material engineered for maximum lock down strength.
  • Lightweight: Chain Maille Mesh is used in strategic cooling zones throughout the uniform for unprecedented thermoregulation and lighter weight without sacrificing strength.
  • Lockdown fit: Flywire technology in the collar eliminates layers, reducing weight and providing a lockdown fit in a uniform tailored to minimize grab points.
  • Minimized weight: The Nike Pro Combat System of Dress reduces weight in every detail, even down to the aircraft grade aluminum D-ring belt.
  • Impact Protection: Nike Deflex padding built directly into the pant adds lightweight impact protection at the hip, and complements the base layer garment in Nike’s lightest and most flexible uniform to date.
