Gridiron flashes

The Oregon Ducks are at it again. The No. 5 Ducks, already known for an array of flashy Nike-designed uniforms, added to the collection on Wednesday with a “fully integrated uniform system,” according to the Beaverton-based shoemaker. The most noticeable feature of the new uniforms is a pronounced wing design on the shoulders — a nod to Oregon’s duck mascot — and large numbers. The new jerseys will come in green, yellow, black and white. The Ducks are also expected to incorporate the so-called liquid metal helmets that the team debuted at the Rose Bowl earlier this year.
