Oregon unveils uniforms for UC-Davis game
The Oregon Ducks unveiled their new uniforms for the game against UC-Davis, titled Citius Altius Fortius.
The Oregon Ducks have become as known for their uniforms as they have for their play on the field. So heading into the season opener you knew the Oregon Ducks and Nike would be unveiling some new uniforms, and they didn’t disappoint.
The uniforms feature the message Citius Altius Fortius on the breastplate at the apex of the v-neck, and judging from the website tweeted out along with the images translates to faster, higher, stronger.
The Twitter also highlights the blue-collar ethics and innovation that inspired the uniform, but that might not be the traits that college fans associate with the school.
Here is the backstory according to the website:
“Nike conducted a meeting with members of the Oregon Football team nearly a year and a half ago to gain insight and inspiration for a possible future uniform release. The meeting led to a conversation regarding the topics of innovation, dedication, and who at Oregon is the epitome of those ideals…
“…the conversation was quick and the decision was unanimous.”
The uniforms themselves have a sweatshirt grey kind of look with the normal fluorescent yellow. The helmet is a mat black which looks clean.
