When it comes to college football season, there are a few things you can expect to happen on a weekly basis — upsets, shakeups in the polls, and the Oregon Ducks debuting a new, unique uniform.
We’re not even halfway through college football season, but the Ducks — in typical Ducks fashion — have already rolled out a handful of funky uniforms. You can check out a few of their early-season gems here and here. Their latest, though, was rolled out on Monday and features a design that pays homage to the Oregon Trail.
The “Oregon Pioneer” uniforms, which will be worn for this Saturday’s game against Washington State, include a silver helmet that features Lewis & Clark alongside the university’s duck mascot — all pointing west — as well as jerseys that feature a topographic map of the Oregon Trail region around the Ducks’ signature winged shoulder pads. Sewn inside the jersey’s collar is the phrase “Salute The State.”
