Do they also work as flags?
November 18th, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
That's a good sign for us. Everyone knows you don't wear white after Labor Day.
November 18th, 2013 at 2:12 PM ^
This should definitely have an impact on the game. Braxton Miller will no longer know to throw it above the grey pants, thus he will put every pass into the ground for FOMOF.

Missed that in the low res version of the image. Yikes. He pooped.
November 18th, 2013 at 4:06 PM ^
Can somebody put that turd in a cooler? I was all set to post that those pants will work nicely with blood stains and poop stains.

2011 actually.
Happy memory.

Mind does not remember 2011 season. :(

I'm not a fan of most of them, although I did kind of like the ones for the Wisconsin/Penn State games this year with the big helmet stripe.
November 18th, 2013 at 8:18 PM ^
What was the OSU fans' consensus on the getup that looked pretty much exactly like that of Rutgers?
November 18th, 2013 at 4:45 PM ^
No. But at least they're not ugly. But no.

I agree with this. I'm not a huge fan of the alternates and prefer the arcahic traditional uniforms to this. Ohio State in a way has become too commercial wearing alternative uniforms to show off the newest style Nike has created. Once a year is enough. Stick with tradition and the appeal of the regular white uniforms, not this garbage. BTW any chance you can post a pic of the old uniforms in the 60's you're referencing of both teams? TIA.
November 18th, 2013 at 6:17 PM ^
...but at least it's obvious no one's wearing white:
I'm not sure when this changed. i'm looking at clips from '59 and OSU is definitely wearing white.
November 18th, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
November 18th, 2013 at 8:49 PM ^
The '52 game was blue vs. red; in the '58 game M wore white. I've always assumed this was because of television--if you're old enough to remember B&W TV you'll understand why.
The white jersey rule hasn't been entirely lifted, but in 2008 USC and UCLA both showed up in dark jerseys. USC was charged with a timeout for wearing illegal shirts; UCLA immediately burned a timeout to even things up, and the game went on. The next year a rule was made that you can apply to your conference for an exemption for a particular game and the conference is supposed to ensure jersey contrast.
November 18th, 2013 at 8:51 PM ^
Looks like I'm off a decade . . . 50's not 60's for the switch to away white vs. home color unis.
November 18th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
I wonder why wearing a different uniform (which really isn't THAT different than their normal one) is a sign of disrespect to a football game.
November 18th, 2013 at 4:30 PM ^
Wearing a special uniform makes it seem like the game isn't special enough on its own, we need to make it more special by adding crazy unis.
November 18th, 2013 at 7:35 PM ^
USC and UCLA do the same thing (both wear their home unis) and it definitely works for them. I don't see why us and Ohio can't do it for The Game.
November 19th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
That would be so cool. It would love to bring back that tradition, it adds a unique spin to the rivalry. Plus we win more in our home unis anyways...
November 18th, 2013 at 2:10 PM ^
I hate them. The black facemasks are stupid. I didn't realize that Ohio's colors were scarlet, grey, white, and black.
November 18th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
I got into a fight with someone in 9th grade (well, I was defending myself from upperclassmen) and I asked one of them if he got his hat from the Dollar store reject bin because it was black with a red "o", and black is not one of their colors. As they were flushing my Block M fitted hat down the toilet, they politely explained how black is apparently part of the official color scheme.
Fun people. Great times.
November 18th, 2013 at 4:47 PM ^
Black is not a school color. But it has been used on the uniforms since at least the 30s. And Woody Hayes exclusively wore a Black hat with a scarlet O.
November 18th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
Well that settles it. If you're into bullying or punching kids, you wear the black hat.
November 18th, 2013 at 4:20 PM ^
They seem to have phased over from gray to more of a silver look over the last 10 years or so. Then again, maize ain't what it used to be either.

Borges don't do counters. Maybe just the D wears yellow.
O wears blue, D wears yellow. Cool. Oregon, my foot.
November 18th, 2013 at 9:44 PM ^
maize jerseys and navy pants.

OSU was ranked # 5 and Michigan beat them 28-0. Never. Say. Die.
November 18th, 2013 at 3:22 PM ^
This ain't 1993.
We gone lose.
November 18th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
hope for the best, plan for the worst.
the point is that no one knows anything, and there is always a chance. Just because it might not come to pass does not mean the possibility did not exist.
November 18th, 2013 at 3:39 PM ^
I'm so tired of so many people saying, "Well in this year, the Buckeyes were ranked this, we sucked, and still beat them." Like the guy above me said, "This ain't 1993" or whatever year someone else is referring to. Whether we like it or not, Ohio is an elite, top-five program and we can't just go into the game anymore saying, "We're Michigan and will win." Our team is still at least a couple of years away from being good. Right now, they're just average, which pains me to say because I love this team more than any other from any other sport. The Buckeyes are going to annihilate Michigan. Early prediction is 38-13.
