Oregon is sporting yet another alternate uniform this weekend in its game against No. 5 Washington, bringing back the original nickname "Webfoots" on the navy blue and yellow jerseys.

Originally, the team was nicknamed "Webfoots" thanks to an East Coast term that was used for all Oregonians. The nickname was first used for the football team in 1902.
