It’s the first-ever College Football Playoff, and the Oregon Ducks are a 2 seed. What, did you think they were just going to wear their regular uniforms?
Nothing’s official at the moment, but rumors indicate you’re looking at the retail version of the new Oregon playoff uniforms, conveniently available in both “home” and “away” editions, both of which could be necessary depending on how the playoff shakes out.
Both jerseys appears to be new editions of the Mach Speed Jersey that was debuted by Oregon in last year’s Alamo Bowl, and they’ll feature the same reimagined feather-print on each shoulder and, ostensibly, the duck-head logo on either sleeve, in lieu of TV numbers. The Swoosh on both the green and white jerseys sports a distinct iridescent glimmer, adding the flash and flair typical of the Ducks.
Stay tuned for confirmation the moment it breaks. If these are the new Oregon playoff uniforms though, is it an update for the better?
