30-Year Throwback: Gang Green, Oregon's 1994 Pac-10 Champions
VIDEO: Watch the story of the tribute to the ‘94 Gang Green Pac-10 champions
PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon's Game 10 uniform reveal revisiting 'Gang Green' the tribute jersey makes it clear at first glance: The 30th-anniversary party for Oregon's 1994 Pac-10 Championship squad is officially underway.
Oregon’s mid-July uniform reveal included this Gang Green Design Deep Dive video featuring eight-year NFL veteran DB Alex Molden from Oregon’s 1994 conference championship team.
The 2024 30-year throwbacks blend contemporary fit with historical gestures to Oregon's success in the closing chapter of the Rich Brooks era:
The modern cut of cap sleeves with the current Duck icon is reminiscent of the Fighting Ducks motif of the 1980s and early '90s.
The modern iteration of the Oregon O helmet decal in place of the currently favored Wing lids — a clear reflection of the minimalist helmet decor of the Coach Brooks era.
All in contemporary tones of Oregon’s traditional green and yellow.
30-year throwback
Not only is 2024 the first season of Oregon's move to the Big Ten — It's also the 30th anniversary of the 1994 squad cementing nearly two decades of Brooks' relentless building of Oregon’s championship foundation.
Molden and I sat down recently to discuss the 1994 team’s decisive step up from a 5-6 previous season, and their transformation to Pac-10 champions.
"It shows when you can lock-in and put the team ahead of yourself you can do some really powerful things.”
— Alex Molden, Gang Green & #ProDucks DB for Oregon’s 1994 Pac-10 championship
Oregon recovered from a 1-2 start in '94 to beat three ranked conference opponents in a span of five games, then went on to win Oregon's first outright Pac-10 title and earn the Ducks’ first Rose Bowl appearance in 37 years.
