Quack!
Eugene has a Duck Store in VRC? I never knew. Well, I don't live in Eugene any more and haven't in many, many years, but a recent return visit alerted me to this location (primarily because I was staying at Valley River Inn) and I had to have a gander.
This feathery outpost in the slightly sad mall that is VRC is definitely compact. A little corner outpost of duckiness with a few racks of clothing, some of the standard auto and personal accessories, and a big heaping pile of yellow and green. The selection here is fairly limited, especially when compared to the big daddy Duck Store down on 13th, but they do have some items you might need in a pinch.
I did find a shirt here in a size that wasn't available down on 13th, but most of what I came for did not exist. The young staff running the store are par for the course for VRC employees (and trust me, I have a surprisingly deep knowledge about this, for reasons I don't care to admit).
So if you happen to be shopping at VRC (why?) or staying at VRI (not a bad choice), this is definitely the most convenient place to stock up on game day gear, or casual supporters wear.
