Week 5 of college football brings uniform heat that combines history with style.
The Oregon Ducks will make their Big Ten debut Saturday, renewing their Pac-12 rivalry against the UCLA Bruins.
In their matchup with an old foe, the Ducks will wear their “Mighty Oregon” throwback uniforms. The jerseys were inspired by the Ducks’ 1997 game against the Washington Huskies, where Oregon held a 24-3 lead before allowing Washington to score 25 consecutive points. Oregon then scored a touchdown in the final minutes to secure the victory.

Here are the rest of the best uniform combinations from Week 5 of college football.
It’s homecoming week for the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, and their threads pay homage to history. The RedHawks will honor the legacy of the Western College for Women with blue jerseys, white pants and red trim against the Massachusetts Minutemen. The colors on the uniform represent the merging of Miami and Western College in 1974.
The jersey features a Miami logo patch on the right shoulder of the jersey that can be tapped by phones. The patch connects to a website that gives information about Miami’s homecoming, according to Miami’s athletic department.
