Just a week after debuting the unforgettable “Shoe Duck” uniforms honoring Nike co-founder Phil Knight, the Oregon Ducks are once again turning heads with another unique twist to their game-day look.
With a massive Week 5 showdown against the Penn State Nittany Lions on deck, Oregon has revealed a fresh footwear innovation, the “Mummy Duck” Vaporposite cleats.
At first glance, the cleats appear to be a sleek all-white design, perfect for blending into Penn State’s iconic white-out environment at Beaver Stadium. But the real magic comes when the lights go out. Built with glow-in-the-dark technology, the cleats transform into “mummy mode,” glowing under the stadium’s advanced LED light system. With Penn State often using blackout moments for dramatic effect during games, the Ducks will literally shine when the spotlight fades.
This latest reveal shows once again how Oregon continues to push the boundaries of on-field style and storytelling.
The Cleveland Browns just let the Dawg out — and it’s Alpha. For the first time in franchise history, the Browns will don an all-brown helmet, dubbed the “Alpha Dawg”, to pair with an all-brown uniform combo during the 2025 NFL season.
"Alpha Dawg" isn’t just a name — it’s a mentality. The matte brown shell, brown facemask, and bold brown stripe framed by two iconic orange stripes scream intimidation and intensity. It’s a powerful nod to the franchise’s deep-rooted color identity and a clear message: there’s a new leader of the pack in Cleveland.
"'Alpha Dawg' embodies what we set out to be as the Cleveland Browns, the leaders of the pack,” said JW Johnson, Executive VP and Partner of the Browns. “We’re excited about this new alternate helmet and the ode it pays to the rich history of the color brown.”
The Browns will debut this look during three home games at Huntington Bank Field: Sept. 21 vs. Green Bay Packers, Oct. 19 vs. Miami Dolphins, Dec. 7 vs. Tennessee Titans
Thanks to the NFL’s updated helmet policy introduced in 2022, teams can now rock a third helmet option if it aligns with one of their approved alternate uniforms. For Cleveland, the “Alpha Dawg” helmet joins the white throwback as one of the team’s official alternate lids. While the orange remains the classic, the brown makes a powerful case for the present — and the future.
The New Orleans Saints are stepping into the 2025 season with a fresh look up top. The team revealed a brand-new white alternate helmet, joining the growing list of NFL squads expanding their lid lineup under the league’s relaxed alternate helmet rules.
The new shell stays true to the Saints’ identity while introducing a fresh, modern twist. It features a crisp white base adorned with subtle black flecks, giving the helmet a speckled texture that fans have already compared to vanilla ice cream, a playful nod to New Orleans’ King Cake culture. The iconic gold fleur-de-lis logo remains front and center on both sides, while a bold gold stripe runs down the middle of the helmet, embossed with repeated fleur-de-lis symbols for added depth and detail. That stripe is bordered by two thin black lines for contrast, and the look is finished off with gold facemasks that tie the whole aesthetic together.
Unlike the Saints’ black alternate helmet introduced in 2022, the white version drops the fade or taper effect and keeps things sharp and symmetrical.
The Saints confirmed that the white helmet will debut with their Color Rush uniforms — a fan-favorite combo of white jersey and white pants, accented with gold numbers and black-and-gold trim.
Previously, the black helmet was always paired with the Color Rush set. It made four appearances over the last three seasons but never in the Superdome. With the arrival of the white shell, that lid might now rotate into black-on-black combos, giving the Saints more flexibility and, hopefully, better results.

The Philadelphia 76ers are bringing back a piece of history this season, unveiling a throwback court design that pays tribute to one of the most iconic chapters in franchise history: the 2000-01 campaign.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the team’s Eastern Conference Championship season, the Sixers will debut a hardwood design nearly identical to the one Allen Iverson played on during his unforgettable MVP run. That season, Iverson carried the Sixers to an NBA Finals appearance and cemented his place as one of the greatest players in league history.
The court design, complete with its early-2000s aesthetic, will transport fans right back to the era of A.I., Larry Brown, and the gritty squad that captured the heart of Philadelphia. From Iverson’s legendary step-over on Tyronn Lue to the team’s relentless fight throughout the playoffs, the design serves as both a visual and emotional throwback for Sixers fans.
The Sixers will play on the court 14 times throughout the season as part of their year-long celebration. Each game promises to carry an extra level of nostalgia as fans and players alike honor the team’s 2001 Eastern Conference Championship and the enduring legacy of one of the most beloved teams in franchise history.
This throwback court not only commemorates a milestone anniversary but also reconnects a new generation of fans to one of the defining moments in Sixers basketball.
Texas Tech football is turning up the heat with an icy new look. The Red Raiders will take the field in a brand-new GalvanICED uniform, the latest evolution of the program’s ongoing partnership with adidas and Texas Tech legend Patrick Mahomes.
This white version follows last year’s groundbreaking Mahomes Strategy uniform, which made history by featuring Mahomes’ signature Gladiator logo on official on-field gear, one of the first times a personal athlete brand was incorporated into college football uniforms.
The GalvanICED look flips the script from the original dark grey set, delivering a crisp all-white aesthetic accented by metallic details and Red Raider flair. The uniform integrates Texas Tech’s signature Power Red across the numbers and trim while metallic finishes give the helmet, logos, and numbers an electric shine under the lights.
As with last year’s design, inspiration comes from the 45-degree bevels found throughout Texas Tech’s campus architecture and the sharp angles of Mahomes’ personal brand. The result is a uniform that blends school pride with the edge of an MVP quarterback who has redefined the game.
When the Red Raiders hit the field on November 8 in GalvanICED, they’ll do so in a uniform that blends tradition, innovation, and superstar influence. With Patrick Mahomes’ brand at the heart of the design, Texas Tech continues to lead the charge in pushing the boundaries of what college football uniforms can represent.
The Washington Capitals are bringing back one of their most beloved looks with a modern twist. The team unveiled a brand-new red third jersey featuring the iconic screaming eagle logo, set to debut during the 2025-26 NHL season. The Capitals will wear the design for 15 home games this year, and it will remain in rotation as the official third uniform for the next three seasons.
Designed in partnership with Fanatics, the uniform blends eras of Capitals history while pushing the brand forward. The primary red base ties back to the team’s signature color and passionate fan base, while a white rounded shoulder yoke and classic striping across the hem pay tribute to the Capitals’ early uniforms from the 1970s and 80s.
A lace-up neckline adds timeless hockey character, while the return of the 1990s Capitol Dome shoulder patch delivers a wave of nostalgia. At the center, the screaming eagle logo takes flight once again, its downward dive symbolizing speed, strength, and dominance.
The uniform is filled with subtle details that connect to the District: three stars on the pants and three sleeve stripes in red, white, and blue represent the loyal DMV fan base, while a District of Columbia flag loop label at the back hem provides a hidden discovery element. Inside the collar, the “Caps” wordmark serves as a final nod to team pride.
Alongside the jersey, the Capitals are rolling out refreshed creative rooted in the screaming eagle identity. The design system uses sharp “eagle scratch” textures inspired by the logo itself, bold ALL CAPS typography pulled from the jersey neckline, and a red, blue, and gold color palette to create a modern yet heritage-driven look.
The screaming eagle jersey is more than a third sweater; it’s a statement. By honoring multiple eras of franchise history while embracing the team’s connection to DC and its fans, the Capitals have delivered a design that blends nostalgia with fresh energy. For longtime fans and new ones alike, this third jersey will be a must-watch every time it hits the ice at Capital One Arena.

Oregon Football will take the field against Oregon State in a look unlike any other, one that honors the legacy of Phil Knight, Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, and the deep ties between the Ducks and the brand that reshaped sports forever.
The special edition “Shoe Duck” uniforms are more than just a new kit. They’re a tribute to Knight’s impact on the University of Oregon, the state, and the global sports stage. Designed by Van Horne Brands with input from Oregon players and staff, the project took two years to complete and even brought Knight to tears when it was first revealed to him earlier this year.
The look starts with a matte marble helmet, an asymmetrical design symbolizing Knight’s two worlds: Oregon athletics and Nike. One side features the Ducks’ iconic wing, while the other carries the wing of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. On the back, a golden Oregon “O” sits above a gold bar honoring Bowerman’s Army service in World War II.
The anthracite jerseys and pants are accented with gold highlights and paired with striking bright gold cleats, a nod to Knight’s memoir Shoe Dog. The gloves feature a waffle pattern, calling back to Bowerman’s original waffle iron innovation that helped launch Nike footwear.
Every inch of the uniform carries meaning. Shoulder patches tell the story of Oregon’s rise:
One patch depicts a handshake between Knight and Bowerman, representing the trust that began their journey from coach and athlete to business partners.
The other features Oregon’s motto, Mens Agitat Molem (“minds move mountains”), along with Mount Hood and Mount Fuji, symbolizing the merging of East and West in Knight’s vision for the brand. Duck wings and tiger stripes bring the story full circle, reflecting Oregon’s global reach.
For players, this uniform is about more than aesthetics. Senior linebacker Bryce Boettcher said it best: “We wouldn’t be the University of Oregon — the Mecca — without his help. This is our way of giving him his flowers.”
Knight has always been quick to deflect attention, naming campus buildings after others instead of himself. But on Saturday, the gratitude of Oregon, Eugene, and fans across the country will shine through in the form of these uniforms.
As Quinn Van Horne, the project’s lead designer, put it: “It really does represent so much of the Nike and Oregon DNA intertwined together. We want to be the best of the best.”
