The helmet instantly conveys the Ducks’ identity as trendsetters, blending classic design with a modern twist. As Oregon continues to innovate, the program reinforces its reputation not just for winning on the field but also for making a statement off it.

For fans, recruits, and opponents, the message is clear: the Ducks are different and they’re not afraid to show it. With the early national signing period right around the corner... the timing couldn't be more perfect.

Oregon's Uniforms Make History

This uniform combination makes history - it is the first time in the modern era of Oregon uniforms that Oregon has a green stripe on a white uniform.

The Ducks' uniform combination features the "Gang Green" green jersey with yellow details and white trim, white "Warp Speed" pants, white undergarments, green cleats, and a marble white helmet with a green face mask, green helmet stripes, and green Oregon "O" on the side.

For this game, Oregon is continuing its unique helmet trend this season with a white marble design. The Ducks debuted their first-ever marble helmet as part of the "Shoe Duck" uniform, honoring Nike cofounders Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. The marble shell is accented by two asymmetrical old-gold brushed wings, nodding to both the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, and Oregon’s classic helmet wing motif.

The Ducks cannot overlook Minnesota. With three regular season games left, every game is imporant to Oregon's Big Ten and College Football Playoff goals. Oregon coach Dan Lanning was clear with the respect he has for the Golden Gophers and coach P.J. Fleck and the leadership he's displayed in his eight seasons in Minnesota.

"I've gotten to get to know Fleck a little bit more since our move to the Big Ten here. Everything I thought I knew about P.J. is not really what I knew. He's an unbelievable human, has a cause, believes in what he believes in," Lanning said.

"You watch his team play, and you can see it on film. The energy that they play with. How they do things. I think he's just a guy who does it the right way. He has been very consistent with his message and how he attacks. He challenges you in a lot of ways, all phases, prepares the right way, so you know, just a lot of respect for him and his program," Lanning continued.
