The University of Oregon football program's uniforms are iconic. For decades, the Ducks have graced Nike uniforms, and now a combination of their various uniforms will be featured in the EA College Football 25 video game.
The EA College Football 25 video game is set to be released on July 19, 2024, with the Deluxe version coming on July 16, 2024. Developers Orlando EA and publishers EA Sports have revealed new information about the video game's uniforms, including that an average team will have the option to choose between four helmets, three jerseys, and three pants.
According to On3's Hayes Faucett, teams such as the University of Oregon have over 20 different uniform options: The reason for all this secrecy likely has to do with Oregon's all-new “Generation O” uniforms, which are set to debut in the fall of 2024. A video from Oregon Football's X account shows equipment manager Kenny Farr explaining the new uniform concept to the uniform committee, a group made up of veteran players from the 2024 football team.
“There's some planning going on… It was great to sit in a room with Mr. Farr and see all the details of what he's planning for this year – what helmets we're going to wear, what socks we're going to wear. It's just awesome to be a part of history. This is going to be a big year for the uniforms and I know a lot of people are excited.” (via Portland Tribune)

Farr says the “Generation O” uniforms will be the primary uniform for the next three years. University of Oregon football is known worldwide for having the best uniforms in college football, and the partnership with Nike allows the team to feature new, flashy designs each week.
When it comes to video game rewards, players can now choose whether or not they want to license their personality to the game, and nearly all of the college football players have chosen to license their personality to the soon-to-be-released game.
