The Oregon Ducks have unveiled their week three uniform combination on Thursday night and it's one that fans are very familiar with. The Ducks will wear their complete Nightmare Green 2.0 uniforms this Saturday in Autzen Stadium.

The uniform reveal is modeled by defensive back Jamal Hill and the uniform features Nightmare Green from head to toe. The green is complimented with the electric yellow numbers and logos all across the uniform while also featuring the new Duck gloves the players have been wearing since the start of this season.

As far as specifics with the new 2.0 version of this uniform, not too much has changed since the 2019 version besides the jersey itself corresponding with the new layout that fans have been seeing most recently. The Duck Studs fill into the winged shoulders and the winged collar logo around the neck to top it off with bits of yellow added. Accessories also feature the Nightmare Green and yellow combination such as cleats, socks and gloves.

The Nightmare Green uniforms have returned to the Ducks rotation for the first time since the beginning of the 2019 season (Auburn). The color was last worn as a compliment to the new "Egg Shell" uniforms against UCLA and Utah in the 2021 Pac-12 Championship with the helmet and pants put into the mix. This specific color way was one of the primary uniform combinations put into the Ducks rotation seeing the field six times in 12 games in 2019.
