Uniforms in college football are starting to spike. More color ways, patterns, and logos. And there is one team that has always had lots of uniform combos. The Oregon Ducks. There is a different vibe in Eugene, Oregon.
Oregon partnered with Nike back in 1947. Nike is the reason Oregon has so many combos. The uniforms really started taking flight between 1990-2000. That’s where it truly began. In my opinion, without a doubt, Oregon has the best uniforms in college football.
A calculation in 2012 stated that the ducks had over 9,984 uniform combos. Another reason why I think they have the best uniforms is that no other team in college football has any number even close to that. Oregon is known for its recruiting, and the uniforms draw players in big time.
Oregon’s top 5 uniforms for me are the following.
First, we have the Eggshell. The eggshell uniforms were released in 2021, but many remember the historic game in Washington in 2023. The chrome helmet fit perfectly with the eggshell jersey and pants. They did fall short, though, 36-33.
At number 2, we have all yellows; they wore these also in 2023. The all yellow with black patterns on the shoulders and the black helmet with the yellow wings looks like a perfect match.
At number 3, we have the green jersey and the black pants with the matte black helmet. This one stands out for me big time. I love the look on this one as well. Once again wore this during the 2023 season.
At the 4 spot, we have throwbacks. The yellow helmet with the UO on the side looks fire. The green jersey with the stripe on the shoulders with the UO again looks really good. Then the yellow pants cap this one off. They wore these many times, but the main one to remember is the 2023 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. They beat Liberty, 45-6
At the 5 spot, I have the 2024 Rose Bowl game. The ducks combined a bunch of uniforms into one. They fit in a bunch of Rose Bowl uniforms from the present season and put them all in one. The chrome helmet with the chrome green wings. For the jersey, they had a green throwback jersey. And then the white pants made this uniform pop right out.
Maybe now you see how Oregon’s unbelievable combos changed the whole world of college football in many ways and show what it means to be an Oregon Duck. A cool add-on to the Oregon helmets is the two flying ducks stickers on the back. It is for two Oregon players who both passed away. Khyree Jackson and Spencer Web.
Oregon’s 11-year deal with Nike, inked back in 2017, is now worth $88 million. But because of the Nike sponsorship, Oregon pays zero dollars out of its pocket. However, Oregon’s Nike deal is not the most expensive in college football. Ohio State’s Nike deal is worth $252 million.
Will Oregon ever run out of ideas? Honestly, some of theirs are getting kinda boring, but I don’t think Oregon could ever have bad uniforms.
Earlier in 2025, there was a poll for Big Ten football players that had to rank the best Big Ten uniforms, and the majority did, in fact, say that Oregon had the best. So even other teams think Oregon’s uniforms are the coolest.
Oregon’s uniforms will never disappoint, and I can’t wait to see what Oregon uniform comes out next.
