Oregon consistently has some of the top uniforms in college football thanks to its relationship with Nike. But the Ducks are revealing a brand new uniform combination in Week 9 against Wisconsin.

Oregon is wearing “Grateful Ducks” uniforms on Saturday, a nod to the band the Grateful Dead. Eugene and the University of Oregon have a long history with the band. The Grateful Dead played at Autzen Stadium 10 times from 1974 to 1994. To correlate with the “Grateful Ducks” unis, Oregon has told its fans to prepare for a tie-dye out.

While most of Oregon’s uniform this week looks like one the Ducks would typically wear, some notable details are included. The jersey and helmet have tie-dye patterns. A shoulder patch mixes the band’s Steal Your Face logo with Oregon colors and the Nike logo. The helmet also includes a line of dancing bears, except with ducks.

On3 is breaking down the rest of the top uniforms and helmets making their debut in Week 9 of the college football season:

Miami honoring USA

Miami is going with an unprecedented look this week against Stanford. The Hurricanes are trading the orange, green and white for camouflage. Dubbed the “Honor and Support” uniforms, Miami is paying tribute to those who have served.

Among the features on the uniform are a camo jersey with an American flag on the sleeves and green pants. Miami is also wearing a black helmet with the “U” in camouflage.

Mississippi State, New Mexico with throwback looks

Mississippi State is rolling with a throwback look for homecoming on Saturday against Texas. The Bulldogs are wearing helmets with the interlocking MSU for the first time this year. The throwback helmets will be paired with a maroon jersey and gray pants.

For New Mexico, the Lobos are rocking turquoise jerseys with gray helmets featuring the red Zia emblem, which is on the state flag. The turquoise uniforms were last worn in 1979.

Alternate helmets

Georgia Tech is debuting a retro helmet with the “T” logo with Georgia Tech inscribed inside the letter on a white lid. The Yellow Jackets play Syracuse on Homecoming weekend.

Washington State could have one of the helmets of the year in college football. The Cougars host Toledo on Saturday and debuted gray lids this week with a throwback logo. The red, white and gray logo features a Cougar logo that dates to the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s.

Weber State is set to debut its Beehive helmet from the Utah State flag. The first team to use the new Beehive crest on a uniform.
