OREGON BASEBALL

BEAVERTON – The college baseball season begins on Friday for the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers. Both teams are ranked in the preseason top 25 polls of multiple outlets, but while the media may expect flashy results from the teams on the field, Oregon fans can expect flashy looks from the Ducks on the diamond this season.

OREGON BASEBALLThe Oregon baseball program will become one of the select few programs to don Nike’s new Vapor Elite uniforms this season. The look has changed slightly, but the biggest modifications are in the functionality.

According to a release from Nike, the Vapor Elite Pants are 20% lighter than the sport’s traditional knit pants, the jersey is made from stretch woven fabric, which offers maximum mobility with minimal weight, and the new hats feature an exclusive bill construction designed to reduce weight, improve moisture management and relieve pressure against the forehead.

Oregon will don the new look on Friday along with the University of North Carolina and Vanderbilt University.
