Oregon Ducks Unveil 2009 Look

The Ducks found themselves in the headlines again yesterday as their jerseys continued to evolve. The Ducks introduced four new jerseys to go along with their "lights out" looks from last year's Arizona Game.

The "lights out" look proved to be the template they worked from and led to them designing a traditional green, lightning yellow, white, black and white and steel color scheme. Since 1998, the Oregon Ducks have been on the leading edge, in terms of jersey innovation.

When the Ducks take the field against Boise State this September, they will be wearing their seventh jersey set since 1998 and you can bet it wont be their last.

Most schools are known for their traditional jerseys and the history behind them. With the close relationship Oregon has with owner and alum Phil Knight, the believe they are creating a tradition of change and innovation.

You can love them or hate them but you can't deny that they get your attention and continue to promote the Oregon program.
