Earlier this week, Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning admitted that he had no idea what uniforms his team was going to wear for the Week 3 game at home against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
“You’re not going to believe me, but I have no idea,” Lanning said. “I know that we’re going to look phenomenal, right? I can tell you that we’re going to look phenomenal, but I have no idea what we’re wearing.”

It turns out that Lanning was right. On Wednesday evening, the Ducks unveiled their uniform combination for Saturday’s game, the first matchup between Oregon and Hawaii in 29 years.
The Ducks will be wearing a green and yellow combo with gree helmets, green jerseys, and yellow pants. The combo was modeled by kicker Camden Lewis.
There has long been a close connection between the Ducks and Hawaii, be it from players or culture. Back in 2020, Oregon celebrated that connection with their “Ohana” jerseys worn against UCLA. The celebration of Polynesian culture had a helmet and gloves featuring a galaxy of stars including the Southern Cross, a constellation used to aid oceanic navigation in the Southern Hemisphere, along with many other nods to Hawaiian culture.
