Oregon Ducks Unveil Eerie New “Mummy Duck” Uniforms for Primetime Showdown
In keeping with their storied tradition of rocking boundary-smashing uniforms for big games, the Oregon Ducks are back at it again after unveiling their eerie “Mummy Duck” kits ahead of their primetime “White Out” showdown against the Penn State Nittany Lions this weekend on NBC and Peacock.
The Statement-Making “Mummy Duck” Ensemble
Like many excellent ensembles that Oregon football has showcased over the years, the “Mummy Duck” uniform is an exquisite, statement-making piece, dripping with details. This latest offering is not just about style; it’s a bold expression of the Ducks’ unique identity. The uniform plays beautifully into the notion of spectacle, making it as intimidating as it is striking.
Modelled by Oregon’s already imposing tight end Kenyon Sadiq, the white “Generation O” “Warp Speed” jersey is paired with the black “Fly Era” pants and helmet. This combination amplifies the intimidation factor, but that’s just scratching the surface. The real terror enters the gridiron when the lights dim, transforming the field into a scene resonant with suspense and excitement.
A Glimpse into the Glow
This marquee contest promises to be a highly anticipated Top 10 rematch of last year’s Big Ten Championship Game, and Nike’s designers certainly didn’t hold back. They have crafted a myriad of phosphorescent accessories that will literally glow in the dark when Beaver Stadium’s lights go out. Adding to the mystique of the “Mummy Duck” theme, the uniform features Nike Vaporposite cleats, logo-embedded leg, arm, and head wraps that simulate the ghastly bandages associated with mummies.
The glowing elements don’t stop there. Even the gloves showcase the unique design, complete with a fearsome glow-in-the-dark “Mummy Duck” logo at the base of the palm, ensuring that every detail echoes the spine-tingling essence of the theme.
The Big Game: When and Where?
Penn State will host Oregon at Beaver Stadium for the much-anticipated “White Out” game on September 27 during Big Ten Saturday Night. Kickoff for one of college football’s biggest contests of the year starts at 7:30 p.m. ET. Hopeful fans can tune in to watch this epic clash between the No. 3-ranked Nittany Lions and the No. 6-ranked Ducks live on NBC or stream it on Peacock.
An Unforgettable Atmosphere
Oregon fans may have desired the squad’s signature “Stormtrooper” wrap, particularly considering the elaborate “White Out” theme. Nevertheless, legions of Duck faithful are in for a spectacle when they see the “Mummy Duck” uniforms in action. A journey across three time zones demands something truly special, and the boys from Eugene will have just that. In a stadium filled with 106,000 roaring fans, nothing could be more satisfying than countering Penn State’s sea of white with flashes of Oregon green, presented in a visually captivating way.
