• Increased air flow with large open-hole woven construction for more ventilation
• A redesigned base layer that facilitates the uniform's overall innovation, delivering the ultimate in lightweight protection for maximum speed. The base layer in the pant also features customizable protection that incorporates a thin, incredibly strong carbon fiber plate that can be placed on the thigh padding where needed.
• Strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones that help minimize distraction and optimize protective coverage. Robust padding, without the bulk, has also been added to offer optimal low-profile impact protection specifically throughout the crucial “hit zone” between the knees and shoulders.
• Nike Pro Combat Deflex padding integrated in the hip and knee areas of the pant for crucial impact protection that stays in place
• A Flywire collar eliminating two layers of fabric for improved breathability, providing a more stable anchor to keep the jersey in place
DESIGN The uniform wouldn't be complete without combining these innovations with a nod to the Duck's rich heritage. Design elements include: • A completely re-designed number system boasting an iridescent sheen similar to that on a mallard's feathers. The larger, bolder numbers shift in color as they move. • An armored wing design resting on new material engineered for maximum strength along the shoulder area • A new look for the helmet featuring bright wings atop a mirrored appearance using a LiquidMetal black finish never before seen on the field. Though the wings are featured on the side, the iconic Oregon "O" still appears on the helmet located in a unique top-center placement.
