This week I built a Oregon Ducks themed Mandalorian helmet!

This project started as a commission request that never followed through. I’m not much of a sports guy, but I liked the team colors so much I decided to make it anyway!

I wanted to incorporate details from the team so I took to Google to do a bit of research. I was also encouraged by a friend to heavily reference the color-way of the team’s “duck” uniforms from a couple years ago. In my humble opinion, what I ended up with perfectly balances the line between calling out a few team references while maintaining that “Star Warsy” feel (which is critical).

I used an Aurebesh “U” and “O” on the ears as a call back to the Ducks’ previous branding (University of Oregon) and used another heavily stylized Aurebesh font for the “O” on the front of the dome to reference their current branding. The two stripes over the eye mirror the sleeve stripes of their mascots uniform and the dots on the right side of the dome spell “QUACK” in numerical alphabet using droid numerals.

To reference a standard jersey, there’s also the number “24” in the back. I couldn’t find any meaningful number to the team so I just went with the year the helmet was made. Likewise, I couldn’t think of any sort of reference to give the Mando “killstripes” so I transitioned them from yellow to orange as both a nod to ESB Boba and the team’s previous “duck” color-way.

This one was a lot of fun. Hopefully one of the Ducks sees this and wants the helmet!

Thanks for watching!
