The original wing graphics were inspired by the skeletal structure of a duck's wing. These bold shoulder icons served the dual purpose of abrasion resistance and irreverence. When paired with a streamlined "Belotti Bold" number set, this first "winged" uniform redefined the look of modern sport.

This inner back neck embroidery displays a hidden message for the players. "Alis Volat Propriis" is the Oregon state motto in Latin. Translating to "She Flys With Her Own Wings", this mantra captures the independent/innovative spirit inherent in Oregon's DNA.

This tonal U.S. Flag patch is worn in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code. The field of stars always leads the way with the stripes trailing behind. Always charging forward, fearlessly, into the unknown.
