Oregon is bringing a fresh Halloween look to Columbus.
When the No. 23 Ducks (5-3 overall, 3-2 Big Ten) face No.
12 Ohio State (6-2 overall, 4-1 Big Ten) at “The Horseshoe,” they’ll do it in a new “Mummy Duck” uniform variation that adds another twist to one of the program’s most recognizable design lines. It’s Oregon’s first trip back to Columbus since the blockbuster 2021 win, and the Ducks are arriving with a uniform reveal built for the moment.
Senior tight end Jamari Johnson modeled the latest version, and the updated look keeps the “Mummy Duck” theme rolling after its debut in Oregon’s 2025 away game “White Out” win against Penn State. This time, the undergarments are black with white bandage-print detailing rather than the original white and glow-in-the-dark setup, which was the first-ever glow-in-the-dark uniform for the program in the modern era.
The helmet gets a new wrinkle too, with a “Mummy Duck” face guard panel and a holographic green wing. The rest of the outfit pairs the white “Warp Speed” jersey from the “Generation O” collection with black “Fly Era” pants, flipping the look Oregon wore in last week’s Halloween 34-26 upset of Northwestern at Autzen Stadium.
The uniform drop wasn’t the only piece of the rollout. Nike, Oregon’s longtime partner, also released a special collection tied to the matchup between the two Big Ten powers. The line is available through Nike’s website and includes apparel for both teams, plus an Air Max 90 in black and red Ohio State colors and a Foamposite sneaker built around the “Mummy Duck” theme.
Ohio State’s side of the collection is called “Defend the Shoe,” a nod to Oregon’s return to the stadium and the familiar phrase attached to the matchup. The Foamposite starts at $230 on Sole Classics’ website.
GoDucks.com is also offering a “Mummy Duck” bomber jacket, T-shirt and hat for the special release. Those items feature frayed white fabric meant to mimic mummy bandages along with the Oregon Duck “Mummy Duck” logo.
Fans got a taste of the theme before, too. During the week of the Northwestern game, Oregon sold limited edition “Mummy Duck” cups at Autzen Stadium, and the release drew plenty of attention.
For the trip to Columbus, fans are being asked to show up in green. That color has been the most common fan choice this season, with five games designated for green.
Yellow and black have each been used three times. After Ohio State, only one more green-themed game remains: Oregon’s home matchup with Michigan next week.
The Ducks’ uniform identity has long been tied to Nike, and the relationship remains a major part of the program’s image. GoDucks’ documentary “Rooted in Substance” describes how the partnership helped Nike test new technology with Oregon players while also building the school’s brand, with the “O” logo in the 2000s serving as one example.
Behind the scenes, Oregon’s uniform decisions are shaped through a collaborative process that includes Nike, designers such as the father-son duo of Van Horne Designs, Nike designers, Oregon Football Equipment Administrator Kenny Farr and a board of selected athletes who provide input on design and scheduling.

Oregon Found An Unexpected Answer Up Front At The Perfect Time
The Ducks needed help up front, and Tommy Tofi has stepped into the picture at exactly the right moment. The freshman offensive lineman has started the last two games at left guard, a notable development for an Oregon front that has leaned on him sooner than expected. Under Dan Lanning, he is the first freshman to start a regular season game on the offensive line, a sign of how quickly he has earned trust inside the program.
Tofis rise has come through steady work and the kind of day-to-day growth that usually stays behind the scenes until injuries or depth issues force a team to look deeper. He has benefited from mentorship from teammates while sharpening his own game, and Oregon has already seen the payoff in recent action, including a key block on a touchdown run against Northwestern. For a line group that always has to be ready for the next test, finding a dependable answer this early is a welcome development. [Read more 🡒]
Oregons Big Ten Dominance Just Added Another Statement Win
The Ducks kept rolling through their first Big Ten season in style, sweeping both the mens and womens cross country conference titles and adding another clean result to a year that has already looked familiar in one important way: Oregon keeps winning. The womens championship was their third straight, while Diana Cherotich stamped the day with a course record and the individual title, and Simeon Birnbaum gave the men their own individual winner as Oregon again showed how deep and balanced the program has become.
Since joining the Big Ten, Oregon has now claimed 12 of 14 conference titles across cross country, indoor track and outdoor track, a run that says as much about the programs standard as it does about any single meet. The latest sweep fits the pattern, but it also raises the bar even higher for what comes next, because this group is not just collecting trophies, it is making a habit of arriving at championship weekends and leaving little doubt about who the leagues benchmark really is.

Oregon Just Reopened A Debate Ducks Fans Thought Was Over
A win over Northwestern was enough to push Oregon back into the College Football Playoff rankings at No. 23, a reminder that the Ducks are still very much in the postseason conversation despite the uneven start that knocked them out of the picture earlier. Their path is not simple, but it is there, and it has reopened a debate many fans probably assumed was settled after the earlier losses.
Oregon still has work to do, beginning with a looming matchup against Ohio State, and the margin for error remains thin. Even so, the Ducks have benefited from a little help around the country as other top teams have stumbled, while key players have started to look more like themselves, giving this late-season push a legitimacy that was not there a few weeks ago.
