    Oregon’s ‘Fly Era’ threads lead Week 7 of college football uniforms

    Week 7 of college football brings an array of uniform swag that blends past and present.

    The number 3 in the rankings Oregon Ducks are doing well this season. After moving up three spots in the AP Top 25 poll last week, the undefeated Ducks will face a test in the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, who are also undefeated.

    In the heated Big Ten matchup, the Ducks will break out their all-black “Fly Era” combo, part of their “Generation O” uniform collection. The helmets have a classic wing pattern – a striking design from the football brand Oregon. The shirt features a diamond pattern on the collar that channels the nostalgia of the 2005 Oregon look and a green border around the numbers.

    Here are some of the best Week 7 uniforms in college football.

    Everything black

    The West Virginia Mountaineers are coming off a big win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, giving West Virginia a two-game win streak. Last week the No. 11 Iowa State Cyclones wore an all-white uniform with black trim, but the Mountaineers are flipping the color scheme this Saturday. In their matchup with the Cyclones, West Virginia will debut its alternate black “Coal Rush” uniforms, honoring West Virginia’s rich history of coal mining.

    Homecoming week is taking a different turn at historically black colleges and universities, with alumni transforming their campuses into a combination of a family reunion and a fashion show. Head coach Eddie George and the Tennessee State Tigers are on a two-game winning streak heading into their matchup against the Eastern Illinois Panthers. With Tennessee State’s Grammy Award-winning “Aristocrat of Bands” in the stands cheering on the team, the Tigers will match the homecoming vibes in an all-black ensemble.

    Unique combinations

    The Rice Owls showcase their Houston ties with Houston Oilers-inspired discussions against the UTSA Roadrunners. The uniforms are a nod to the era when the Oilers called Rice Stadium home from 1965 to 1967 before moving their home games to the Houston Astrodome. Rice debuted the uniforms in the 2023 season when it posted a 24-17 victory over the East Carolina Pirates.

    The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers went all red in their win over the UTEP Miners on Thursday night. The Hilltoppers wore their new “Big Red” helmets, designed to reflect their Big Red mascot. The helmet, which matched the all-red combination, featured side decals that resembled Big Red’s eyes with a black face mask, which mimicked the mascot’s mouth.

    Icy whites

    The No. 1-ranked Texas Longhorns have been at the top all season and now occupy the top spot in all of college football. As clean as their performances have been all season, they will match them with an all-white uniform in the Red River Rivalry against the No. 18 ranked Oklahoma Sooners.

    After a 24-17 win over the USC Trojans in Week 6, the Minnesota Golden Gophers look to sweep Los Angeles in an all-white matchup against the UCLA Bruins.
