Now, Oregon says these are its duck uniforms, but I’m just gonna say it. (A Disney animator was friends with the OR administrator).

Interestingly, the Duck mascot is based on Donald Duck. The football team would, however.
The Oregon Ducks will be dressed as actual ducks when they play conference foe Colorado at home Saturday night.
The Oregon Ducks roll out different uniforms on a regular basis, so it’s only right that one of them will honor their mascot.

As usual, OR – 100 miles from Nike headquarters and the alma mater of Nike founder Phil Knight – will also be testing new materials with the uniforms. Nike has been making their exotic alternates since 1998, and it;s what the program is now most known for, although that may not be necessarily a good thing. I’m actually surprised it took the Ducks this long to actually do this. And if you’re complaining about the fact that the Ducks are wearing some orange, you’re missing the point of the entire uniform.
