Jonathan Stewart reveals his favorite Oregon Duck uniform of all time

J-Stew has revealed his all-time favorite Oregon uniform. Do you agree?

When you’re talking about your favorite Oregon Duck football uniforms, it’s not exactly a small pool to choose from. Back in the mid-2000s, Phil Knight and Nike really started to change the game in terms of innovation and style on the gridiron, using Mike Bellotti’s Ducks as his canvas.

While Oregon had seen different iterations of uniforms over the years, the rapidness of the uniform cycles started to pick up, and the college football world started to take notice.

It started with tire tread on the shoulder pads and knees, with the team name on the thigh, and from there blossomed into wings, both on the shoulders and the helmet, different colored helmets, different colored facemasks, and new patterns altogether.

In the summer of 2024, Oregon is unveiling a new set of uniforms, dubbed “Generation O.” The news of that release has the fan base buzzing with excitement.

This past week on the Sco-ing Long Podcast, I dove into the uniform discussion with my co-host Jonathan Stewart, an Oregon legend who was around for the inaugural wave of uniform changes back in 2006. I asked him if he could name his single favorite Ducks’ uniform of all time.

“The stormtroopers,” Stewart said with conviction. “It was straight to the point. It was all-white, and it had your treads on the shoulders. And it just reminds me of playing the University of Washington, and we destroyed them in that stormtrooper outfit, and I’ll forever remember that.”

Stewart wasn’t wrong about destroying the Huskies, as Oregon won 55-34 up in Seattle that year in 2007.

What I pointed out on the podcast was the fact that the simplicity is what made those uniforms so special, and the fact that they were flashy and clean without trying very hard.

“It was like wearing a tuxedo,” Stewart said. “That’s exactly what it feels like. I’m wearing a tuxedo today and I’m going to whoop your tail.”

Duck players excited for release of new ‘Generation O’ uniforms at Oregon this year

“We’ve got some stuff cooking,” Jeffrey Bassa said about the new uniforms.

Football is back in the air in Eugene as the Oregon Ducks resumed spring practice on Tuesday morning, but there is an underlying excitement that could be felt during player interviews that stems from an announcement made by the team last month.

New uniforms are coming for the Ducks in 2024 as they embark on the Big Ten era for the first time. While we’ve grown accustomed to different jersey combinations that are unveiled each and every week during the season, there is a new buzz surrounding the uniforms this year, with the team expected to unveil the new template at some point this summer.

“We got some stuff cooking,” senior linebacker Jeffrey Bassa said on Tuesday after practice.

Bassa is one of the leaders of the team, and one of the prominent voices in the “uniform committee,” which he says is comprised of himself, Marcus Harper, Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden, and equipment administrator Kenny Farr.

“It was great to sit down there in the room with Kenny and see everything he has planned for the year,” Bassai said. “To the little details that he does with what helmet we’re gonna wear, what socks we’re gonna wear with this. It was amazing just to be part of history. I know this is going to be a huge year with the uniforms and stuff like that. I know people are excited.”

One thing that Lanning has made of point of during his time in Eugene is connecting this new era of football to past generations of the Oregon Ducks. We’ve see that through throwback uniforms and the incorporation of past players in the program. It sounds like there may be some elements of that with the uniforms going forward as well, with some tie-ins to past versions of jerseys.

“Same Oregon scheme that we always do,” said left guard Marcus Harper. “Nice, sleek design, real fast. I feel like some of the old colorways some people have had on Twitter might be on there, some good throwbacks that I feel like we haven’t seen since the De’Anthony Thomas era. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

A release date for the uniforms hasn’t been announced yet, but you can guess that they will likely be unveiled sometime later this summer, either before or during fall camp begins.

WATCH: Ducks tease new Generation O uniforms for 2024 season

New uniforms for the Oregon Ducks? On Thursday morning, the Generation O uniforms were officially teased.

The Oregon Ducks hold a unique place in the world of college football; they are the most popular school in the nation when it comes to uniforms. Across the nation, the Ducks are known for their flashy uniforms that change every week, and their partnership with Nike that keeps them at the cutting edge of innovation every season.

Over the past few years, Duck fans have wondered when a new template of uniforms was going to arrive: The current template has been in use for several years.

On Thursday morning, the Oregon football team announced a new set of uniforms, tabbed Generation O is coming this season.

In a video released on social media, we get footage of equipment administrator Kenny Farr breaking down the concept of the new uniforms to the uniform committee, which is comprised of veteran players on the team. We don’t get any actual looks at what the new uniforms will look like, but the knowledge a new look is coming should be enough to build anticipation for most fans.

Farr says in the video the new uniform is comprised of futuristic looks and throwback looks. There are also a couple of away uniforms kits and helmets that flow with everything.

Farr says this will be the base set of uniforms for the next three years.

LOOK: Ducks unveil green and white uniform combo for Pac-12 Championship Game

🟢⚪️ Ducks going with the green and white combo this weekend for the Pac-12 Championship Game 🟢⚪️

The Oregon Ducks are going to be wearing a clean green and white look on the biggest stage of the season this Friday night in the Pac-12 Championship Game against the Washington Huskies.

On Tuesday night, Oregon released images of their uniform combo for the game down in Las Vegas. It features green helmets, white jerseys, white pants, and green cleats. The combo was modeled by Brandon Dorlus.

This is the first time that Oregon has worn this combo all season, and the first time they’ve had this look since the 2021 Alamo Bowl against the Oklahoma Sooners.

The last time Oregon played Washington back in October, they wore the egg-shell jerseys with chrome helmets.

Here’s a closer look at the uniforms for the Pac-12 Championship Game, followed by some fan reaction to the release:

LOOK: Ducks unveil special green and white “4Spence” jersey combo for rivalry game vs. Oregon State

The Oregon Ducks are breaking out a green and white jersey combo for the rivalry game against Oregon State this weekend.

The Oregon Ducks will be closing out the regular season in style on Black Friday, going up against the Oregon State Beavers in the final home game of the year.

While there was some speculation that the Ducks might pull out an all-black jersey combo for Black Friday, or potentially go with an all-green look once again in the color rush theme that’s taken place over the past few years vs. Oregon State, the ultimate answer is neither of those things.

On Tuesday night, the Ducks unveiled a green and white combo that we haven’t seen from this team in quite a while. Oregon will be wearing green helmets, green jerseys, and white pants.

The combination is a tribute to late teammate Spencer Webb, who tragically passed away in an accident last summer before fall camp started in 2022. Friday’s game would have been Webb’s senior day.

The uniform is modeled by TE Patrick Herbert, and has a web logo that has been associated with Spencer Webb, who wore the number 4.

It is unclear if the Beavers will be wearing their traditional white jerseys, or an orange to match the color rush theme from the past few years.

Here’s a closer look at the uniforms for Oregon, followed by some fan reaction to the jersey drop.

LOOK: Ducks bring back silver wings and egg shells for desert trip vs. ASU

Silver Wings and Eggshells are making a return for the Oregon Ducks this week.

There are some not-so-fond memories of late-season trips to the desert for the Oregon Ducks, but Dan Lanning and the team have been quick to assure everyone this week that this 2023 Oregon team is not like ones that we’ve seen in the past. Things that happened years prior have no impact whatsoever on things that will happen this year.

So on Saturday when the Ducks travel down to the desert to take on Kenny Dillingham and the Arizona State Sun Devils, Oregon will be looking to take care of business, just as they have been all season long. They will be doing so in style, as well, rocking a clean white uniform kit for the afternoon heat.

On Wednesday night, the Ducks unveiled their road uniforms for Week 12, releasing images of a white jersey combo that features chrome helmets, white eggshell tops, and nightmare green pants pants.

The uniform was modeled by DL Taki Taimani.

Here is a closer look at the jerseys, followed by some fan reaction to the release from the team:

LOOK: Ducks unveil black and yellow jersey combo for night game vs. USC

🟡⚫️ Oregon is breaking out the black and yellow combo for Saturday night against the USC Trojans 🟡⚫️

We knew that the Oregon Ducks were going to break out something special for the first true night game of the season, coming this weekend against the USC Trojans.

With a 7:30 p.m. kickoff time set, the lights will be bright and the Ducks will be looking clean, wearing a black and yellow combination for the first time this season.

The combo features black helmets, yellow jerseys, and black pants, modeled by QB Bo Nix in the team’s weekly unveiling photoshoot.

Here’s a closer look at the uniforms to be worn vs. USC, followed by some fans’ reactions to the unveiling on social media.

LOOK: Ducks unveil classic uniform combo for Week 10 game vs. California

The Ducks are throwing it back to the 2020 Rose Bowl with their uniform combo vs. California this week.

The Oregon Ducks have made some splashes in the uniform world over the past few weeks, and they are continuing that trend this week with a return home vs. the California Golden Bears.

A few weeks ago, the Ducks broke out the egg-shells on the road vs. Washington and then followed it up with the undefeated throwback jerseys vs. Washington State at home. Last week, it was the clean and bold black and white combo on the road vs. Utah.

This week, they are bringing the color back into the mix with a nightmare green and chrome combination for the home bout with California. We get chrome helmets, nightmare green jerseys, and nightmare green pants.

Here’s a closer look at full uniform release for the Ducks, followed by some reactions from fans on social media:

LOOK: Ducks unveil eggshell uniforms for top-10 showdown vs. Washington

🟡🥚🦆 The Ducks are breaking out the egg-shell uniforms on the road for this top-10 matchup vs. Washington🦆🥚🟡

Saturday will give us the most highly-anticipated matchup in the history of the rivalry between the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies, and the Ducks will be breaking out a fan favorite for the game.

Oregon announced on Wednesday night that they would be wearing the eggshell uniforms for this game, featuring a silver helmet fit with the eggshell jersey top, and eggshell pants.

There was an initial belief that Oregon could break out the throwback uniforms that were released last week, but those are instead expected to debut in the near future at home.

The first time that Oregon wore these eggshell uniforms was in 2021 on the road against the UCLA Bruins. The Ducks wore them later that season in a Pac-12 title game loss to Utah, and again last season on the road against the Colorado Buffaloes — both of which games ended in victories.

We will see if the Ducks can get to 3-1 when wearing the eggshells this  Here’s a closer look at the uniforms:

LOOK: Ducks unveil ‘Mighty Oregon’ throwback jerseys to be worn later this year

🟢🌕 WE GOT OREGON DUCK THROWBACK JERSEYS AGAIN 🟢🌕

I can’t say we saw this Sunday morning uniform unveiling coming from the Oregon Ducks, but based on what we were shown, it’s understandable the team went with a special time for these special threads.

The Ducks unveiled their “Mighty Oregon” throwback uniforms on Sunday, but did not specify when the jerseys would be worn.

Fans will notice these uniforms are a callback to the jerseys that Oregon wore in 2014 at home against the Washington Huskies, and they are made to honor the 1984 jerseys worn by the Ducks.

It would make sense to wear throwback uniforms against the Huskies once again, but it’s unclear if that will be the case since that game is on the road in Week 7, and road teams typically wear white.

However, the Ducks and Huskies have often gone with a “color rush” theme the past few years. Washington wore purple last year in Autzen Stadium while Oregon wore yellow.

Regardless of when they are worn, Oregon fans and the rest of the college football nation will fall in love all over again. Here is a closer look at the uniforms, followed by some fan reaction once they were unveiled.
