Another month, another uniform

It wouldn't be football season without the first (of many, I'm sure...edit: see week 2!) new uniform combos for the Ducks.

This week is a fun little themed ensemble that they have designed to honor training coach Radcliffe. While this is a nice one, I'm not clear if this is a permanent design look ( number font, no wings, simplicity) or just a one-off like the Pioneer-themed one from last year. This outfit does not match either the Alamo Bowl jersey (maybe that's good!) or the July-photo shoot that had new numbers and a new gray color.

 I won't got into too much detail since there are lots of good sites out there, including the Ducks' own fancy presentation!

".....players spoke to Coach Rad's ability to get the best out of them by developing their individual strengths, increasing extreme transitional agility and helping them achieve unbelievable speed. Although his innovation and methodology were often unique in nature and practice, his blue-collar ethics and never-changing look of wearing a grey heather tee were also cemented into a student-athlete's pillar of success in his or her training with Coach Rad.
Hence, the name for this uniform...The Rad."

See the official sites that explains it all here:

According to Tyson Alger of the Oregonian: "The Ducks' new Nike uniforms have gray tops, black pants and helmets and yellow numbers. There's a patch on the middle of the uniform that reads "Citius. Altius. Fortius." Or, for those not up to date on their Latin: Faster, Higher Stronger."
