Oregon Ducks Striking 2012 New Uniforms

The 2012 Oregon Ducks started off this year with a blowout victory over Arkansas State with 57-34 in what I can say definitely beautiful fashion. Oregon has long been Nike's Flagship team as the sports-based giant company is located in Beaverton,Oregon and has given the Ducks state of the art gear.

This year uniforms are designed and featured with a pronounced wing design on the shoulders -- a nod to Oregon's duck mascot -- and large numbers. But what sets the uniforms apart, according to Nike, is use of a new mesh material which the company touts as lightweight and breathable. The new jerseys will come with combos in green, yellow, black and white. The Ducks are also expected to incorporate the so-called liquid metal helmets that the team debuted at the Rose Bowl earlier this year. "Our goal is to help build better athletes by providing them with state-of-the-art-innovation combined with a deep knowledge and understanding of Oregon's heritage and the uniform chassis that the Ducks will wear is the next evolution in football innovation" said Todd Van Horne, Nike's Creative Director for Football. "With the integration of Chain Maille Mesh into the jersey as well as the functional winged pattern on the shoulders, this is truly the lightest, fastest football uniform we've ever made." Oregon Head Coach Chip Kelly says "Nike has always done a tremendous job of integrating the input they have gathered from our players with a cutting-edge technology that maximizes their performance on the field,"Every year I ask how they possibly can surpass their previous innovations and every year they deliver. Once again, Nike has set the standard in revolutionary uniform design."
