Love 'em or hate 'em, the Nike-designed Oregon football uniforms have been burning retinas for more than a decade. They've been covered in tread patterns, camouflaged, even given their own signature typeface, and now, they've got wings.

On Tuesday, the University of Oregon unveiled a new set of uniforms for the 2009 football season. The ducks have shucked the aforementioned tread pattern and will now sport a simplified, solid-colored uniform with tattoo-esque wings adorning their shoulders (pics below).

The team from Eugene has also had their headpieces redesigned as they will now have four helmet choices; green, black, white and a carbon-fiber pattern. Combine that with four pants options and it'll take some junior high algebra to figure out the number of possible jersey/pant/helmet combinations the Ducks can sport.

And the design bell-ringers over at Nike weren't working strictly for aesthetic improvements either, as they claim the new getups feature "improved ergonomics and ventilation characteristics... and have an 85-percent weight differential compared to traditional tackle twill."

Apparently, getting college football teams to dress silly is now a science.
