    Week 5 of college football brings uniform heat that combines history with style.

    The Oregon Ducks will make their Big Ten debut Saturday, renewing their Pac-12 rivalry against the UCLA Bruins.

    In their matchup with an old foe, the Ducks will wear their “Mighty Oregon” throwback uniforms. The jerseys were inspired by the Ducks’ 1997 game against the Washington Huskies, where Oregon held a 24-3 lead before allowing Washington to score 25 consecutive points. Oregon then scored a touchdown in the final minutes to secure the victory.

    Here are the rest of the best uniform combinations from Week 5 of college football.

    It’s homecoming week for the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, and their threads pay homage to history. The RedHawks will honor the legacy of the Western College for Women with blue jerseys, white pants and red trim against the Massachusetts Minutemen. The colors on the uniform represent the merging of Miami and Western College in 1974.

    The jersey features a Miami logo patch on the right shoulder of the jersey that can be tapped by phones. The patch connects to a website that gives information about Miami’s homecoming, according to Miami’s athletic department.

    Penn State has gotten off to an undefeated start this season. In their biggest test yet, the Nittany Lions will break out their “Generations of Greatness” threads against the No. 19-ranked Illinois Fighting Illini. The jerseys pay homage to the best Penn State teams since the late 1950s, with numbering, lion shrine, pant stripes and helmets.

    The Boise State Broncos have made their way into the AP Top 25 after a promising start to the beginning of their season — falling only to Oregon in Week 2, 37-34. With the Broncos looking to defend their No. 25 spot, they’ll break out a flashy blue look with gray lettering and orange trim against the Washington State Cougars.

    The Arizona Wildcats will have another test in Week 5 after falling to the No. 14 Kansas State Wildcats in Week 3, but no loss can stop their style. The Wildcats are going all white against the No. 10-ranked Utah Utes.
