In the 2021 offseason the Ducks did a refresh of their uniform set. It was not groundbreaking and the colors (Apple Green, White, Yellow) stayed the same for the most part. No word on special uniforms (like nightmare green) or throwbacks. The main differences are on the shoulders, where an odd mix of various eras are now represented. The "diamond-plate" look of mid 2000s paired with the techy, and subtly-shiny pattern of "wings" from the Mariota days in the mid-2010s is the best way to describe it.

In week 1 at home, the Ducks wisely used one of the their classic combos of yellow/ apple green/yellow which is arguably their best look historically. (Last year they never used this combo, and the last time it was worn was in a Redbox Bowl win in December 2018. In 2019, they did use the darker green jersey paired with yellow hat/pants.)
In the 2021 opener, the yellow and green paired with he white and red of Fresno State made for a colorful and crisp matchup. The apple green jerseys have much more subtle shoulders where the pattern is more a difference in shiny texture than color. The white and yellow jerseys have way more contrast.
All season long I compile a spreadsheet of Duck uniform combos and it goes back to 2008 at the moment. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_lb00nuVdEmXTeZYcZZN_6QPksNCFjX3J6dnuTlFaXI/edit?usp=sharing
