Sorry duck fans, Oregon is deciding to go metal gear solid for this historical game
The exciting, wacky and unpredictable college football season is coming to a end as the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship game is set. The Oregon Ducks went to Pasdena, California to take care of business, destroying the defending BCS National Champion Florida State Seminoles 59-20 to bring home a Rose Bowl victory and a appearance in the national championship game. In the battle of last 2 previous Heisman winners, Oregon’s own Marcus Mariota prevailed as the new big man on campus as he threw for 338 yards and 2 touchdowns. Later on that evening, the Ohio State Buckeyes traveled to New Orleans, LA to due battle against #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Led by a outstanding performance by 3rd string quarterback Cardale Jones, The Buckeyes upset the Alabama 42-35 to win the Sugar Bowl and to face the Oregon Ducks at the “grand daddy stage of them all”.
As anticipation is kicking in for the January 12 matchup taking place at the house Jerry built known as AT&T Stadium, Nike have revealed to their fans the official national championship uniforms both teams will be sporting. Besides being known as a face-paced, dominant, gritty team, the Oregon Ducks are everyone’s athletic apparel”eye-candy” thanks to their fashionable, advanced unorthondox colorways they sport during each game. After all, Oregon is the birthplace of what started the greatest and most powerful sports brand to ever be invented. It shouldn’t be a suprised why Oregon has been a huge powerhouse in athletic recruitment, where you have top athletes year by year drooling at the stellar colorways Nike creates for Oregon as they reinvented the definition of “looking good while winning”.

On the other hand, the Buckeyes will be paying homage when they do battle against the Ducks. Ohio State will be paying tribute to the 1968 National Championship team by blacking the jersey numbers on the shoulder area of the jersey.

Oregon fans are most likely going to be disappointed with the decision of not going with the traditional green/yellow colorway. But overall, Nike fans should be pleased of how well put together both squads uniform will be. Make sure you tune in as history will be made on January 12 at 8:00 pm on ESPN. AT&T Stadium will be the place to be for another historical and monumental event in college football history.
