Just when you think you can count on the Oregon Ducks football team to keep it consistent, uniform-wise, they switch things up again. Weird.
After spending the last couple of seasons transitioning away from their recently-traditional helmets that saw the “O” logo placed on either side of a solid-colored paint job, in favor of the wing-clad fare that moved the “O” to the back of the head, the team is coming full circle for their College Football Playoff match-ups.
The new lids will once more sport the logo-on-side, solid-colored style, but in a dramatically different way. The team’s new favorite shade of Kelly green covers the helmets, including a monochromatic facemask, giving way to a stunning yellow “O” that deftly juxtaposes the palette, the perfect pairing of yellow and green shades.
You’ve gotten a glimpse of these before, of course — when we previewed Oregon’s Rose Bowl uniform — but today take a detailed look at the new Oregon Ducks playoff helmets, and stay tuned for plenty of college football uniform updates as they’re merited. (They’re merited a lot.)
