Oregon's newest creative football uniforms make the players look like actual ducks
Oregon, known for having some of the gaudiest uniforms in college football, has outdone itself.
The Ducks will take the field against Colorado this weekend looking like ducks. Actual ducks. Ducks with white legs, orange bills and orange feet.
Check out the new uniforms — meant to mirror the Ducks' mascot — which Oregon announced on Thursday.

According to ESPN, these uniforms utilizes a laser-perforated material instead of traditional mesh, which makes them lighter than Oregon's other options.

The Ducks are known to sport a different uniform combination for each game of the season.
"When we first started wearing different combinations every week, we were criticized, as people questioned our lack of tradition," Craig Pintens, Oregon's senior associate athletic director for marketing and public relations, told Mashablein an email last year. "As our uniforms became more and more popular with a younger demographic, everyone began to try and create their own niche, but we already had a great head start."
The school's Nike sponsorship and relationship with alum and Nike founder Phil Knight, are to thank. Or blame, if you don't dig the look.
No word yet on whether or not Colorado will dress like Buffaloes this weekend.
