Oregon reveals Week 11 uniforms ahead of matchup with Arizona State
The Oregon Ducks are playing some impressive football lately and they’ve got themselves in contention for a spot in the upcoming College Football Playoffs. The Ducks currently sit at 9-1 overall and they’re preparing to face off against the Arizona State Sun Devils this weekend.
Ahead of their highly anticipated matchup, Oregon dropped the uniforms they’ll be wearing on Saturday.
Check them out below.
The jerseys feature an eggshell white color along with black speckles with a touch of forest green. The design kind of looks like something out of a Jackson Pollock painting, with the splatter patterns. The Ducks have worn these uniforms a few times over the years. They’re certainly unique and just another combination in Oregon’s near infinite arsenal of college football uniforms.
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning remains loyal to the Ducks
With all the vacancies around college football popping up, Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning has had his name thrown in the mix for a few of those openings. However, Lanning adamantly opposed the notion that he would consider leaving the ducks for a new head coaching job.
When initially asked about his desire and the possibility of coaching elsewhere, the Oregon headman cited loyalty to the program as his reason for staying put. And on Tuesday, he doubled down on that stance and explained the value loyalty has in his life.

“I mean, you are what you do consistently, right? And I’ve been fortunate enough to be around some phenomenal people. And yeah, loyalty means something to me; it’ll always mean something to me,” said Lanning.
While Lanning has openly expressed his verbal commitment to Oregon, it is not like the Ducks are unfamiliar with this exact scenario. Two of Oregon’s most prominent head coaches over the past 10-plus seasons, Chip Kelly and Mario Cristobal, both vowed their commitment to the program before leaving for different opportunities. However, in those two circumstances, opportunity and destination played a significant role.
Kelly left Oregon to become the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles with control over player personnel — a level of control in which very few NFL head coaches have ever experienced. Cristobal, on the other hand, left for more sentimental reasons. The head coach that Lanning replaced went back home to Miami to be closer to his family and lead the program that he credits for helping to make him into the individual he is today — the Miami Hurricanes.
