Which college football team has the best uniforms in 2024? The Oregon Ducks' new uniforms in the "Generation O" series are grabbing attention and headlines.

The Oregon Ducks' bright yellow "Heroes" uniform combination were designed by Oregon head coach Dan Lanning and his family in order to "stomp out cancer" and raise awareness during the month of October. This set has a black helmet with silver wings as well as a yellow jersey and pants with black trim and numbers. Oregon will wear these uniforms against Michigan State on Friday night, Oct. 4.

The best pair from the “Generation O” uniform series for the Ducks have to be the "Mighty Oregon" set with the white base as well as an apple green lettering and trim worn at Oregon State and at UCLA. The detailing and letters are exquisite with the Oregon Duck logo's perfect placement on the shoulders. This white uniform was inspired by the 1997 comeback upset over the Washington Huskies.

To start it off, let's go with a Group of Five conference program coming out of Conference-USA, the Liberty Flames. You don't see the all-red look too often and with the rise of success from this particular program, you have to try to be different and stand out from the average.

You can never go wrong with the all-whites and Ole Miss did exactly that this season. It features the powder blue stripes and numbers with red logo accents. Rebels' head coach Lane Kiffin embraces the idea of if you look good, you play good.

Another Southeastern Conference program is in the mix as Tennessee's "The Volunteer State" set in the Smokey Grey Series debuted during the season-opener against in-state foe Chattanooga. The all-black uniforms go hard no matter what school you're at.

Big-12's Colorado is on national television each and every week mostly in thanks to Deion and Shedeur Sanders as well as Heisman candidate Travis Hunter. No matter what, they have to come out fly. In the first game of this college football season against North Dakota State, the mountain detailing on the pants and shoulders were debuted. This goes along perfectly with the metallic numbers, shiny black helmet and black/gold cleats.

Notre Dame's Shamrock Series alternate this season have Gothic-style numerals in flashy gold, along with a blue-gray October sky color mix for the uniform itself. The gold accents provide depth to every corner. These will be worn against Army West Point on Saturday, Nov. 23.

Back to the Ducks to wrap this all up, don't even get this staff started here at Sports Illustrated started at what is coming out in the Big Ten matchup against Ohio State at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 12. The "Blackout Fly Era" Oregon uniforms are scarily intimidating to any opponent.
