It's that glorious time of week again...the time we find out what the Oregon Ducks will be wearing this weekend.

As it turns out, the Ducks are going with a very different look when they face the Washington Huskies this upcoming weekend in Eugene. They'll also be rocking a different moniker.

The team is embracing its past with the "Webfoots" nickname that was attached to the school before they officially landed on the Ducks name. The original moniker will be displayed prominently on the chest of a throwback uniform inspired by the 1916 look. The throwbacks will celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the program's first Rose Bowl victory.

The sleeves of the jersey feature the lyrics to Oregon's "Mighty Oregon!" fight song inside yellow striping. The helmets will feature the Oregon state flag.

This uniform may not be the modern, flashy, cutting-edge look that we've come to expect from the school and its devout partnership with Nike, but it's a pretty cool retro look with a lot of history and pride stitched in.
