The Oregon Ducks made a statement on the biggest stage over the weekend, beating the Ohio State Buckeyes 32-31 while rocking their brand new ‘Fly Era’ uniforms from the Generation O collection. This coming week, they will be letting their equipment do the talking early on with a new set of cleats being unveiled for Friday’s game against the Purdue Boilermakers.
The Ducks are releasing their brand new ‘Oregon FEBU Dunks’ for this primetime matchup on FOX, heading into their first traditional Big Ten road game in style.
The ‘FEBU Dunks’ represent Oregon’s consistent internal messaging of “Forget* Everyone But Us.”

A mirror 3D inspiration “pulls from the mantra of blocking out the noise,” said a source with knowledge of the design. “Not looking down the road, looking at the schedule or what’s ahead and behind. No focusing on outside noise.”
After the biggest regular-season win in program history with an upset over the Buckeyes on Saturday night, this is seemingly the perfect time to emphasize this messaging, as the Ducks are the talk of the college football world, ranked as the No. 2 team in the nation with a clear path to both the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff.
Despite that outside noise, though, Oregon is focusing on themselves, and nothing else. They’re emphasizing that message with their shoe-game this week.
“Only listening and focusing on and to who wears green with wings,” one person in the program tells me.
The Ducks will kick off against the Boilermakers in West Lafayette on Friday night, looking to improve to 7-0 for the first time since the 2013 season. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT, aired on FOX.
