The article says that the checkerboard stripe will be used. I’m not a fan of introducing new variations of this same uniform every year. They already have a decent alternate. Now just stick with it. I like these uniforms better than their black set, which never really seemed to match their aesthetic. Maybe they’d have been better if they had a black helmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned, Purdue, UCF, AF, and Houston are the only programs with any claim to a space uniform. As long as we don't exceed that list I like it. I kind of feel that way too. I think because UCF does it every year it seems like there are more space uniforms than there really are. A orange and green Citronaut throwback one year would be good for UCF to keep the space uniforms from getting boring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's the better than usual utilization of gray, or if the Vols orange just goes well with a darker shade, but it really works, especially the two-tone design between the torso and sleeves. Interested to see what other designs they will come up with. Hopefully they don't start overdoing it. 2 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yeah, the black set for Tennessee last year reeked of BFBS, even with trying to find some type of balance by adding black strokes to the helmet decals/stripe. The smokey grey just makes too much sense, and even though they wore some pretty bad "grey" options over the years, the most recent version was an amazing alternate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 The Ducks have some special new cleats for the season-opener against the reigning champs: First of all, this seems to signify that they’ll be in the vastly superior apple green jerseys instead of wearing their new nightmare green jerseys. Second of all, I loved Nike’s Vapor Carbon 1.0 & 2.0 cleat models, so I’m thrilled to see a remake of the VC 2.0 cleats here (they have the same sole plate as the current Vapor Edge 360 model). Also, as with the other special edition cleats that the Ducks have received in the past few seasons, these were designed by Oregon alum Mattrell McGraw (who also designs cleats for OBJ, Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson, and other big-name Nike stars).

Kg54mvp Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Awesome for Tennessee. Not sure how I feel about new designs the following years though. Not much of a need for that when the Smokey greys are already so darn cool looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard rumors it would be red vs green. Color on color seems to be a favorite of the Peach Bowl and the Kickoff Game. Fully expecting Georgia in the usual home uniform vs whatever combo Oregon decides to use, but at least with the green tops. Hoping for yellow lids and pants. Not sure if my color blind eyes can take solid green against mostly red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if my color blind eyes can take solid green against mostly red. Yeah, I’ve heard the same rumors. As much as I like color vs. color, it would be a curious choice in this instance given the color blind issue. Yellow lids and pants would help, and I do think there’s a good chance we’ll see one or both of those with the green jerseys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really hoping for a new template with wings or something to bring that swagger back. It’s been too bland the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that uniform sets were used for three seasons by the Ducks, but since ~ 2014 it’s been anyone’s guess when there’ll be new stuff and when/if there’ll be a completely new set. With the coaching change, too, it remains to be seen whether or not Lanning has influence on the uniform front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be surprised if we start seeing a lot of FCS schools and even high schools using this design, as it’s one of the newer Nike Team catalog options. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 And unnecessary boat references that actually appear on the uniform rather than some tee shirt at a spring practice 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
