Four teams will play in the inaugural College Football Playoff: all national powers, all wearers of the Swoosh. As such, Nike has updated each team’s uniforms in advance of the tournament, adding sleek, championship-inspired accents and innovative performance features. While Ohio State, Alabama and Florida State’s aesthetics remain largely status quo, the Oregon Ducks will don an entirely new look.
When designated the “home” team, the new Oregon playoff uniforms will boast a bright green palette cloaked over the pants and jerseys, with yellow accents and anodized satin green helmets. For a potential “away” game, the team will wear grey-accented white, including a white helmet with silver wings. A fractal diamond-like Swoosh appears on each jersey, and the “Fighting Ducks” logo is embroidered at either sleeve.
Beneath the new Mach Speed uniform, the Ducks will wear a black-and-green Nike Pro Combat Hypercool baselayer, with a fragmented diamond pattern that proudly announces the trophy on which the team has set its sights. Oregon’s famous “O” logo is emblazoned across the chest, and the entire chest graphic is tilted at 27 degrees — the team having been to 27 bowl games.
Finally, like the other three playoff teams, Oregon will wear team-colored Nike Vapor Jet Knit gloves, there’s with the “O” logo on the palms, along with the new Nike Vapor Untouchable cleats in team colors.
While the Oregon playoff uniforms themselves will get their on-field debut in the Rose Bowl on January 1, associated apparel will hit Nike.com and other select retailers going forward. Check out the new Alabama uniform here, and stay tuned for the Ohio State and Florida State gear.
