Oregon's Phil Knight tribute leads best Week 4 college football unis - ESPN

Nike co-founder Phil Knight's connection with the Oregon Ducks is legendary, and the Ducks are paying tribute to him in an appropriate fashion with a uniform this week.

Oregon has donned many, many uniform combinations through the years as part of its partnership with Nike, with its latest offering honoring the man that made that connection happen: Knight.

Entitled «Shoe Duck» — a play on Knight's 2016 memoir titled «Shoe Dog» — the uniform goes with an anthracite theme as the base color for the jersey and pants. Gold is also well-represented on the uniform, featured on the helmets, name plate and number outlines and cleats.

The helmet marks the most detailed element of the tribute, with a number of nods to both Nike and the school featured throughout the lid. A matte marble design makes up the base, with a set of asymmetrical wing designs on either side. One wing represents the Ducks' mascot, while the other represents Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.

In addition to Oregon's «O» logo, the back of the helmet contains a gold bar that honors Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman's army service in World War II and «JUST DO IT» in block letters.

The Ducks, who will square off with the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday in a rivalry clash, aren't the only school bringing the heat with their uniforms this weekend. Here are the top uniforms from around the country in Week 4 of the college football season.

Gold isn't an easy color to go all-in on in a uniform combination, but the Charlotte 49ers have pulled it off for their Week 4 uniforms.
