Been waiting my whole life!!! My dad started season tickets when I was a toddler in mid 80’s. I pray they can pull it off in my dads lifetime, he’ll turn 73 tomorrow.
This great piece on Oregon and Nike's relationship is a trip down memory lane for me. As a former Duck athlete, I'm grateful for the chance to have played football and run track at the University of Oregon. Their willingness to take a chance on me as a walk-on football player my sophomore year was a game-changer. It led to a nine year NFL career. Grateful to the Ducks! It's amazing to see how the program has flourished and evolved since then. Go Ducks!
@@ODUCKSFAN1Yes 100% right! When I traveled back to Oregon last year, Dan Lanning was very gracious. One of his goals is to make sure former Duck players know they are part of the foundation of the programs success and we are always welcome! 🙏🏽
@@jirikurto3859 Thank you! Only a few people did until I started sharing it later. None of my teammates even knew. Coach felt that if I wasn't good enough, I could go back to track without anyone knowing. Oregon was the only D1 school recruiting me in track that didn't balk at the idea of me walking only if Coach Brooks okayed it. The deal was that I could only try in my sophomore year. I think I messed up their plans because they moved me to a scholarship that helped the track team.
Random note: I lived in the same town as you when I was younger and won a signed photo from you at an elementary school raffle. Still have it on my wall. Go Ducks!
🟢 Why do we always say 'Thank you' when people are gone? Why do we pour our heart out for someone after it's too late and not while they're here?" 🟡 Uncle Phil, you've made the whole state of Oregon proud. Oregonians are always following their own 'Oregon Trail' and you sir, led one of the greatest expeditions ever, and that's made you one of our greatest trail blazer ever. Your influence has now gone beyond our state borders, and have impacted athletes and non-athletes alike throughout 🟡 🟢 Thank you for all that you've accomplished, and how you've poured it all back on to your roots. 🟡 I recall leaving Texas Tech's stadium last year and you just casually walked past me in your all black attire wearing your favorite Oregon hat. The first thing I noticed was the joy in your face as you found your way back to your driver after our win. The world appreciates you, sir, your impact will forever remain. Go Oregon!! 🟢🟡
I was Born and raised in NYC, when I was a kid my mom would take me with her to work in Manhattan when I was 6, and I would always see that Big billboard and its what made me a Duck fan from that point on.
As someone who has lived in Eugene for 15 plus years, I always knew about the connection between the Ducks and Nike...but big kudos to the media team at Oregon for putting together such a well made mini Documentary on how it all started and the things that happen behind the scenes. Sco DUCKS!!!!
I don't even care if we ever win a national championship just the fact that Oregon is one of the premier sports programs in college. Whoever would've thought thank God for uncle Phil. We love you, uncle Phil and Nike.
Man great Work team. Never been more prouder to be an Oregonian, love what our university stands for. Love the direction of the Progrum. And can taste that first national championship coming. Love the flock… let’s go get it Ducks 🦆
I really do believe we will win that NATTY. We’re definitely heading in the right direction. Our athletic director hired the right coach. This how we show the history of Oregon sports programs. One thing I’m regretting right now. My dad bought me the first NIKE shoes at K-Mart. And I threw it away when it was worn out but still in great shape. Found out it’s worth a lot of money.
So one thing I'm understanding from this video is that everyone in the sports world should be thanking Oregon for all the innovation that has come in football.
I freaking love being a Duck🦆💚💛. My Eugene roots run deep & I could not be more proud that my ancestors braved so much to be pioneers out west in the Willamette Valley.
Another amazing production. Well done. Let's go Ducks! I just hope we can win our first football Championship while Uncle Phil is still around to savor it.
So if the video hinted at anything it's that there's gonna be a nod to the Oregon Trail on the jersey design. Maybe a map of the Oregon Trail in the undertones of the material? We'll see. Anyway I'm pumped to see the new designs!
To see this program go from Toliet Bowl to National Prominence is so special. Being born in Eugene it’s one of the reasons I never wanna leave. Oregon Football is more than just wins and losses. It’s innovation, it’s cutting edge, it gives hope for maybe one day… one day a national title coming to Eugene. 0-12 or 12-0, I will always wear the O proudly. GO DUCKS! 💯
Thank you Knight family. Before Phil attended there was the Knight Library. Phil was key to its update. When the Law School faced significant challenge he helped rebuild it. The school of human performance is no longer Eslinger Hall. It is a campus of athletic excellence.
I remember the all comers meets at OG Hayward man, so much fun, a really great community event every weekend every summer to just compete, I miss that as an adult.
The NIL era is about to put Oregon Football in the upper echelon of teams that have won multiple recent national championships. Take the bias out and this program literally has every single ingredient to become the next super power
Oregon, Eugene specifically isnt just known for Ducks football, its also become a mecca for running, major track & field events/championships. Track Town USA its called. This also is right up Nike's ally - outfitting collegiate and Olympic athletes. Nike is headquartered in Beaverton Oregon, however they probably should have relocated to Eugene decades ago
They both thought UNIVERSITY OF OREGON is only a stepping stone. I bet they realize, it wasn’t. Look at coach Lanning now. He took advantage of what’s ahead of him. He knew once he became a coach here, he will get all the support and resources. What more can you ask for when you have a backer like that. He’s at the top of the world of NIKE, and everyone took notice. You become part of the legacy right away. GO DUCKS🦆🦆🦆🦆
Pretty great benefits to the players most of the time, but I remember in 2021 when we I counted 6 people out with foot injuries. I think that shoe they experimented with on the players was a big failure.
These uniforms look stupid. It just also goes to show that Oregon would rather play dress-up than actually play football. If Oregon focused more on player development, getting better coaches, and getting better players, instead of worrying what they're uniforms look like, then maybe they'll actually be a good team. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio State have had the same uniforms forever, and they're all Champions. Winners don't worry about what they wear. They spend money on where it counts, not their wardrobe.
Damn you hating , hating on Oregon ain’t go get you no where in life my guy stop being jealous , everything not about football at Oregon great university with a lot of great support stop hating Oregon don’t wanna be like them other teams that’s what makes us different
@@615bandup2, I don't hate Oregon, they are to irrelevant to even be concerned about. I hate their stupid uniforms though. Oregon's school colors are yellow and green, which isn't what they wear on game day. Oregon RARELY wears their school's colors. It's either black, silver, eggshell, pink, grey, fiberglass, and steel pattern. But RARELY green and/or yellow.
@@metallica1fan1 ion even care what you just said cause you watching Oregon on TH-cam but got so much to say bro if you feel like that why even watch the documentary that’s the true definition of hating is talking down on somebody because they got all the shoes or they get all the girls that’s how you sound I know a hater online when I see one you hating , Oregon different will always be different, being different in this world scares people that’s not different ima true Oregon fan will always be win or lose ima be right here cheering them , we go get us a natty I’m not worried about it it takes time we wasn’t ready last time we played in the natty we wasn’t physical enough to beat Ohio state we didn’t have 5 star recruits , Oregon was built by the grind & hard work not cheating like other programs they was buying players back then we coming just get ready 🍿 🎥 🦆💯
I’ll say this about Mario though. I hated his game day coaching, his boring and predictable offense. It was extremely frustrating 😡 With that said, He did in fact create the blueprint for Oregon Recruiting. He was landing top players before NIL was a thing. He made the nation take notice with his recruiting chops. For that, I have an appreciation for him. That’s where it ends though.
We are going to witness Oregon winning a National Title in football within the next 5 years. Love these Ducks 🦆🟡🟢
Amen!!!!!
i hope!
Been waiting my whole life!!! My dad started season tickets when I was a toddler in mid 80’s. I pray they can pull it off in my dads lifetime, he’ll turn 73 tomorrow.
It will be closer to 5 months. Much closer. 😉

Incredible lil doc. The ending love letter to the state is why I can't leave this place.
Born and raised in Oregon and saw my first game live in 1971 as a kid. Once a Duck, always a Duck!
Me too! and graduated from there in '75

So proud to be a Duck. What amazing content from the team at UO and Nike. Thanks for innovating, creating and sharing!
Been to 2 live games. Away at Fresno St. but the other one was "The Pick" (so what I'm old !)
I was there at the University of Oregon and that Rose Bowl season of 94
Vs Penn st time flies
Thank you uncle Phil for everything that you have done for Oregon, Go Ducks!
Beautiful!
Go Ducks 🦆🦆🦆

Really excellent piece here. Never been more excited. So proud of the purpose and dedication. Men teaching men. It’s beautiful.

This is phenomenally made. Great work on this project!!

Was the pattern we wore a tad bit 2016-2017 would love to see it back
That was an incredible video! So interesting to see the history of the relationship between Nike and Oregon. Go DUCKS!🦆
Proud to be an O alum! This is a great recruiting tool for every kid to watch!
WOW!!! just WoW!!
Oregons 2012-2013 uniforms are the best Football uniforms that will ever be created. It will never be a contest. I miss those days.
WHAT A TIME TO BE A DUCK FAN🤙🏻
Great content from a great progrum. Everyone else was wearing pancakes while the Ducks were sporting waffles.
Go Ducks!
Love you uncle PHIL❤
GO DUCK'S FOR LIFE!

I only have one negative thing to say about this... Don't remind me of the Mandrake... even just the egg just... don't.
We remind ourselves of Mandrake so Mandrake doesn't happen again!
They showed it while discussing failure so...
GO DUCKS BABAY!
Oregon, Eugene specifically isnt just known for Ducks football, its also become a mecca for running, major track & field events/championships. Track Town USA its called. This also is right up Nike's ally - outfitting collegiate and Olympic athletes. Nike is headquartered in Beaverton Oregon, however they probably should have relocated to Eugene decades ago
Hell no, they're good where they are.
This is powerful asf !!
Go ducks!
They better have a Jordan 10 for Oregon's inaugural year in the Big 10.

Before the national title, we have to focus on Ohio State this weekend
Pretty great benefits to the players most of the time, but I remember in 2021 when we I counted 6 people out with foot injuries. I think that shoe they experimented with on the players was a big failure.
War eagle 🦅 Auburn University represent but much respect & hope we both play in national championships again
🦆🦆🦆
I agree that Dillon is probably good but not elite.
All that bravado and we still can't construct a decent basketball court.
Nike is down 20%
Rooted in $
Spending all of daddy’s money, and never getting nattys. The Oregon way.
You really came on this page to hate💀💀
Show us on the doll where Oregon football hurt you.
@@amaritaylor6387war eagle 🦅 I respect y'all

Why’s it sound like dude narrated it over a Zoom?
They lose to Ohio state and beat Michigan.
