Oregon always brings the fashion goods when it comes to their football uniforms, so the Ducks needed a clean fit for their Rose Bowl matchup against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
Not to fear, Oregon fans—the Ducks will show up in style as they attempt to beat the Buckeyes for a second time this season:

Oregon has had an epic 2024 season to this point, going a perfect 13-0 in the school’s first season in the Big Ten. That has included a conference championship and wins over Boise State, Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.
The 32-31 win over the Buckeyes was the tightest of those wins, however, setting up what should be an epic rematch between the schools. For as amazing as Oregon’s season has been to this point, a loss in Round 2 against Ohio State would be a rough way to end it.
“We’ve all been looking forward to this one and for another crack at these guys,” Ohio State quarterback Will Howard told reporters after the Buckeyes defeated Tennessee in the first round of the CFP Playoffs. “The way that last one ended doesn’t sit right with me. It still bugs me.”
Ohio State will come out buzzing. Expect the undefeated Ducks to be ready. The threads, at the very least, are good to go.
