Ditching the usual pink or blue uniforms, Oregon unveiled an all-yellow ensemble designed by head coach Dan Lanning and his family to raise awareness and show support for those affected by cancer.
The vibrant uniform features the phrase "Flight + Fight" and is being released just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which begins in October.
After the Ducks unveiled their new jerseys, fans quickly took to social media to express their excitement.

In its first season in the Big 10 after its move from the Pac-12, Dillon Gabriel and the Ducks are undefeated this season, holding a 4-0 record and No. 8 ranking.
In Gabriel's first year with Oregon, the Heisman hopeful has an 82 percent completion rate, throwing for 1,192 yards and nine touchdowns in four games.
Under third-year head coach Lanning, Gabriel transferred to Oregon for his senior year after previously playing at UCF and Oklahoma.
The Ducks will kick off October with a Friday night game against Michigan State on Oct. 4.
