Generation O uniform #1: "Fly Era" black uniforms drop

What was teased all spring is now starting to trickle out of the Duck mothership. "Generation O" uniform #1 was released today with an all-black set nicknamed the "Fly Era" and a bunch of hoopla including DAT and Black-mamba themed video! . According to Ducks Wire:

"At long last, the Ducks revealed the first look at their new uniforms for the coming season, unveiling an all-black jersey that features nods to designs from past uniforms in Oregon’s rotation.

The classic wings return on the helmet, while the collar area of the jerseys features diamond plating from back in the 2005 era, along with wings that resemble jerseys over the past decade. 

There are expected to be a total of five different jerseys that will be unveiled as part of the “Generation O” series, but no timetable has been announced for when the next release will take place."
