Makes sense they'd be breaking out new uniforms for the move to the Big Ten. The part about there being futuristic vibes along with a couple retro-inspired looks makes me wonder if they'll finally be paying homage to the original Nike uniforms that had people talking back in the day and were debuted against Michigan State.
As expected, the uniforms will be released in July. The AD will be giving a sneak peak gift box to someone if they buy a particular, unidentified item at the surplus sale tomorrow.
Looks exactly like the uniforms from the past few seasons, but with a big10 patch.
Probably just him doing some promo/NIL stuff. I'm surprised at how well Oregon is keeping things under lock but I imagine there'll be some bigger leaks as it gets closer to July.

A buddy of mine somehow got to see mockups of the uniforms. While he liked about half of them, he found others somewhat disappointing, boring and possibly polarizing, especially the new green one and one of the away uniforms that both have little in common with the others. He thought there was too much black/silver in some combos, not enough helmet options, and the supposed mix and match ability they touted isn't there the same way it has been the past few years due to the color/design choices. He almost felt there were too many cooks in the kitchen due to how many new and old elements they tried to incorporate. This has me worried a bit now as it seems they may have taken a big step back from what we've had recently, which isn't what people wanted heading into the Big Ten.

"He thought there was too much black/silver in some combos"
Literally the worst if true.

Oregon will be releasing the first uniform combo on 6/26. Considering they say it's fit for a mamba, I imagine it'll be the black version.
The design is fine, just nervous about color combos for other jerseys.

These match up with the mock-up my friend saw. Love this version of the unis. They'll look so good under the lights against Ohio State. Still wish this was the only template they used as they don't really need a modern and a retro one.
Edit: They're also very reminiscent of the NFT jerseys they made in 2022, just with different numbers and slightly changed shoulder detailing.
