Days before the game day, the official Twitter account of the University of Oregon Athletics #GoDucks remarked on X:
"Long live. Game 12 uniform combo for Oregon Football. #4Spence."
The uniform will feature Spencer Webb's name, No. 4, and a special logo. The three pictures of the jersey shared on the social platform show Webb's name, No. 4, and a special logo of ‘spider web’ on the gloves' palm area and around the forearms area of the outfit as well.

How did Spencer Webb die?
Spencer Webb was only 22 years old when he died on July 13, 2022 in a cliff-diving accident near Triangle Lake, Oregon (approximately 35 miles west of Eugene's campus) after striking his head.
Rescue personnel assisted in bringing Spencer Webb approximately 100 yards down a steep trail back to the roadway, as reported by the Lane County Sheriff's Office in a released statement.
“There is no evidence of foul play and his death appears to be accidental," as per the sheriff's department's statement.
At that time, the sheriff's office didn't identify Webb, but Oregon head football coach Dan Lanning confirmed his death in a tribute on Twitter.
“So full of life in every moment of the day. Your smile and energy will be missed Spencer. I love you!” – Oregon coach Lanning.
The University of Oregon and the Pac-12 Conference released statements expressing their condolences to Webb's family, teammates, and friends.
