Oregon is holding its spring game on Saturday, and in typical Duck fashion, they'll wear some pretty sweet uniforms for the game.

For the past six years, Oregon has gone with a "Salute the Day" uniform concept, and this year they're saluting the men and women in the U.S. military as well as those who publicly serve the state of Oregon.

There are two versions of the uniforms -- home (green/black) and away (gold/gray) -- that have a few special features.

Those features explained in Oregon's press release:

* The familiar "Salute The Day" neck patch features the silhouette of the Ducks' Autzen Stadium with blue, red and silver chrome.

* The left sleeve patch reflects the form of a traditional service ribbon, and showcases the Ducks' 2015 season opponent school colors in order of game schedule. The 12-pointed star within the ribbons represents the Pac-12 Conference teams.

* An embroidered American flag appears on the right shoulder of the home and away jersey. The reverse side flag reflects the same placement on U.S. Armed Forces uniforms with the star field facing forward.

* The phrase "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave" is embroidered inside the back of the neck.

Here are some photos of the new unis. As expected, they're pretty fresh.
