The Oregon Ducks will don some eye-catching cleats when they open their College Football Playoff account in the Rose Bowl.
The school shared photos Friday of the custom Kobe IV cleats they'll wear for the playoff quarterfinals on New Year's Day:
Being the alma mater of Nike co-founder Phil Knight has long held its advantages for Oregon. Especially in football, the Ducks have been on the cutting edge in terms of uniform design and technology.
The program hasn't released its full uniform set for the Rose Bowl, but the white-and-green cleats offer a strong hint.
For the Big Ten title game against Penn State, Oregon broke out its all-black "Fly Era" jerseys with green helmets.
To kick off 2025, it looks like the Ducks will be going back to the more traditional "Gang Green" set, which utilizes green tops with green or yellow pants.
As the top seed in the playoff, Oregon awaits the winner of Saturday's first-round battle between No. 9 Tennessee and No. 8 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.
