No school can touch Oregon’s uniform game. Especially not this week when the Ducks wear special edition pink uniforms in support of breast cancer awareness month.
The uniforms, which will be worn Thursday night against Arizona, are all black with pink accents on the cleats, socks, gloves, helmet, numbers and nameplates. And they’re awesome.
This is the second year in a row Oregon has worn pink for breast cancer awareness. The school said in a statement that the uniforms are designed “to raise awareness and stand in solidarity with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, which exemplifies the spirit of team work and generosity that enable the organization to battle against women’s cancers.”
The Kay Yow Cancer Fund will make a $100,000 research grant to the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute in support of young women’s breast cancer research project.
Special edition black and pink Nike Oregon jerseys, hats and T-shirts are available for purchase on Nike.com, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Kay Yow Fund.
