2. Oregon (Green)

All things considered, Oregon has some of the best uniforms ever created. Due to their close ties with Nike, Oregon has undergone copious amounts of uniform updates every year. The hundreds of combinations at their disposal are visually appealing and make for some must-see television week in and week out for the uniform gurus out there. If you didn’t know this, you’ve been living under a rock for the last decade.

Coming in at number two on this list is the Ducks’ green uniforms. It feels weird to have to further explain which green uniform is being discussed, but welcome to a uniform world in which the Ducks reign supreme. The green uniform making this list is the 2017 light green uniform. These uniforms put a heavy emphasis on the yellow secondary color. In addition, the green used is slightly lighter than the traditional Oregon green. Although the secondary aspects of this jersey, the pants and helmet wore with this jersey are yellow, having a green thread assures viewers of the school’s primary color. Other than the Nike swoosh — which is chrome — the details on Oregon’s green jersey are primarily yellow. The numbers, sleeve pattern, Pac-12 logo and Oregon logos are all this color. So, what makes this top so special? The detail.

Nike strays away from its traditional approach to uniforms when creating Oregon’s. Whereas many teams’ jerseys feature either a shoulder design and number on the sleeve — or vice versa — Oregon’s jersey features two designs. The sleeve is a simple two-line design, whereas the shoulder features an alternate school logo — a duck. Slightly above the number, the word “Ducks” is written in typical Oregon font. Above that, the Oregon “O” at the base of the collar. To top things off, the collar lacks a typical design.

Instead, the words “Once a Duck” and “Always a Duck” line the collar. The attention to detail on these uniforms couldn’t be any better. Undoubtedly, Oregon’s green uniforms represent one of Nike’s finest designs. However, it’s simply not enough to take the top spot.
