Eugene, Oregon – Running low on new concepts, and with mounting pressure to deliver one banger after another, an Oregon Ducks football uniform designer has turned to the fashion trends typical of the local community to figure out what the Ducks will be wearing here in the home stretch of the 2024 season.
“We did egg shells last year, for God’s sake. Like, we’re already scraping the bottom of the barrel of ideas,” said Seth Johnson, Oregon’s Director of Outfits & Apparel.
“The other thing we had to think about, at this point, is lead times. When you wait this long, you have to consider what kind of textiles are available, and what kind of turnaround times we’re looking at. Luckily, Patagonia had an oversupply of exactly what we needed, so we’re good.”
When asked how the new duds might affect the team’s on-the-field performance, Johnson said, “Well, they’re already playing well. And these guys care about more than football, so they’ll appreciate the versatility to be able to hit the hiking trail after games, or to load up the Subaru and head straight to the campsite. Function over form, baby,” Johnson concluded.
