    Oregon’s ‘Heroes’ threads lead Week 6 of college football uniforms

    Week 6 of the college football season brings a new selection of meaningful uniforms that go deeper than just the game.

    The No. 6 ranked Oregon Ducks will host the Michigan State Spartans for the first time since 2018 in a Friday night game.

    In their battle against the Spartans, the Ducks will debut their new “Heroes” uniform, which serves as a nod to head coach Dan Lanning and his wife Sauphia. The uniform, created by Lanning, his wife and their three sons, tells the story of Sauphia’s battle with bone cancer, which she beat in 2017.

    Each member of the Lanning family played a specific role in designing the look.

    Yellow, the official color for osteosarcoma awareness, represents Sauphia’s fight against osteosarcoma. Lanning’s eldest son, Caden, came up with the idea of ​​putting an ice cream cone on the uniform as a nod to the snacks the Lanning family ate after Sauphia’s treatment appointments. Titan, Lanning’s youngest son, thought about giving the cleats a multi-colored look to represent the different groups of cancer patients.

    Lanning’s contribution to the uniform is the molecule design on the gloves and sleeves that references the “Red Devil” chemotherapy treatment.

    The shoulder wings and diamond plating on the jerseys represent the journey and hope that lies beyond condition.

    Construction of the “Heroes” uniform began in 2022, when Lanning was announced as the program’s head coach.

    Here are the best uniform combinations from Week 6 in college football.

    Unique appearance

    The 1989 Virginia Cavaliers put together one of the best seasons in program history. With an overall record of 10-3, Virginia won the ACC Championship over the Maryland Terrapins 48-21. In a showdown against ACC foe Boston College Eagles, the Cavaliers will don a throwback uniform in honor of the 1989 team.

    “El Cucho” is a nickname for the city of El Paso, Texas, and a term from the Mexican Spanish dialect of the word “pachuco”, which represents unity and, for most, style. The UTEP Miners will wear their orange threads over white pants with a special “El Chuco” helmet against the Sam Houston Bearkats.

    The Air Force Falcons pay tribute to the Special Air Force Special Operations Command with their Air Power Legacy Series uniforms when they take on the Navy Midshipmen.

    The topics include details that spotlight the AFSOC mission. The helmet features the AFSOC emblem with the motto on the back: “Any place, any time, anywhere.” The Special Tactics Combat Control motto “First there” is printed on the front of the helmet.

    The shirt has a name tag for the players’ names on the right chest. On the left sleeve is one of three badges that refer to the Air Force Special Tactics with an American flag. The red piping and accents on the uniform and pants symbolize the scarlet beret worn by Special Tactics Combat Controllers.

    Solid combinations

    The third-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes are on a roll, going undefeated this season. They’ll take on the 3-1 Iowa Hawkeyes in style in Week 6, wearing an all-gray combo topped with red lettering.

    The Iowa State Cyclones unveiled several uniforms during the offseason, with one debuting this week. Saturday against the Baylor Bears, the undefeated Cyclones will sport a clean, all-white look with black lettering and gray trim.
