Who Voices The Mascot Oregon Duck?

The Oregon Duck is the mascot of the University of Oregon Ducks athletic program, based on Disney’s Donald Duck character through a special license agreement. The mascot wears a green and yellow costume and a green and yellow beanie cap with the word “Oregon” written on it. Challengers to the Oregon Duck as the Ducks’ mascot include “Mallard Drake”, who was the brainchild of a student cartoonist. The university is poised to write a new chapter as the university joins the Big Ten Conference.

The Oregon Duck has evolved from real ducks to a costumed character named Puddles, who interacts with fans, players, and the marching band at games. The university got its nickname, mascot, and logo from a combination of local and national influences. The Duck nickname has had detractors over the years, but the lovable mascot is poised to write a new chapter as Oregon joins the Big Ten Conference.

The Oregon Duck became the most recognizable mascot in college athletics through an animated video narrated by Don Essig, which traces the Duck’s origins. Mikey Navarro, an actor/mascot/musician living in San Francisco, California, is best known for performing as The Oregon Duck Mascot. The Oregon Duck is so intertwined in the fabric of the University of Oregon that it is hard to imagine Anatidae being a lovable fowl.
