When the Huskers visit the Oregon Ducks on Sep. 9, the Ducks will look a bit different than last year.

Nike and the Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children's Hospital teamed up to create the new look, dubbed the "Stomp Out Cancer" unis, which features a clean white-top, white-pant look with a silver helmet and yellow trim and accessories. If you look closely at the Ducks logo on the shoulder and gloves, the duck is literally stomping on the word cancer.
The Oregon wordmark across the chest also replaces the second "O" with a yellow ribbon. The ribbon in general is used to support awareness for different forms of cancer. Also, across the knuckles of the gloves are the words "over" and "come."
The Ducks always have slick uniform combinations, but these have to be near the top of the list in terms of general awesomeness. And they support a great cause. Win-win for Oregon.
Nebraska is just hoping to get the win that matters most when the two squads meet in Eugene, Oregon.

In college, he was best known as ‘that guy from Twitter.’ He has covered a Sugar Bowl, a tennis national championship and almost everything in between (except an NCAA men’s basketball tournament game… *tears*). In his spare time, he can be found arguing with literally anyone about sports.
