Here's a video of someone actually wearing the uniform.

Honestly I think it looks better then their current uni.
Awesome
i like it better as well.
i like it better as well. the helmet is dumb though. i love how the nike rep is trying to sell the public that wearing these uni's will help an individual play "fast" b/c that is the direction football is going. really? thanks.

Why did you think WV wore
Why did you think WV wore yellow jerseys. Cause they were fast as lightning
Honestly
Totally unbiased I dont like these jerseys, their current ones are better.

Helmets
I hope
that these new jerseys are made out of cotton (100%) and they shrink in the wash prior to the game a la Seinfeld's "The Chaperone."
Sean McDonough: And the Buckeyes take the field.
Matt Millen: And what is with the Buckeyes? They look like they're having trouble running. They can't move.
McDonough: It's their uniforms, they're too tight. They've shrunk. They're running like penguins. Forget this game.
Millen: Oh my God, Pryor just split his pants.
Rich Rodriguez: That's a shame.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
Hate em'
They look like the bastard sons of the Atlanta Falcons.
What the Hell. -Jack Burton
Do they have sweet name for
Do they have sweet names for the colors? Not sure if anyone can beat Oregon's Mallard, Lightning and Ice.
I hate them
The only upgrade they could make would be to get rid of Scarlet and Grey and those appear to still be a part of the uniform, therefore, I hate them.
David Cone is my homeboy...
I hate nike.
I hate nike.
Ugly
Their regular ones are much better. I do think, though, that they should go to plain gray pants.
not a fan
I don't like the helmets, probably because they are too plain. Or because its OSU.

They remind me of a slightly
They remind me of a slightly more evil Alabama helmet.

Does anyone else really wish
Does anyone else really wish we had stuck with Nike over Adidas? Admittedly I'm a huge Nike fan, but I'm pretty jealous of all the Nike sponsored schools getting all this awesome new gear. Plus, this may or may not be true but someone told me that recruits are attracted to schools sponsored by Nike for this reason.
The thing that I hate about
The thing that I hate about Nike and their awesome new gear is that all of the stuff is similar. There is the same "high-tech, lightweight, manueverable" stuff with all of the same uniform design. It's not being Michigan, it's being a part of team Nike. Plus they do this at a rivalry game, on the road. Dick move.
Adidas is Better IMO
Nike always has to get fancy even with traditional uniforms, plus they take advantage of child labor. Maybe that's why the Bucks love them. The question on the new uniforms should be: How many children died to make this?
Hail to the Victors!
Michigan's Uniforms
Michigan has the best home uniforms in all of college football. If a recruit wants to go somewhere based on their uniforms, Michigan is the place to be. (However, I realize a lot of recruits probably have bad tastes when it comes to football uniforms.)
They make the worst
They make the worst combination Oregon can come up with look tasteful.
Oregon
That is a big reason why some players are choosing to play at Oregon. The over 3 million jersey combinations has a draw to some. I dont know how UM alum would handle an alternate jersey for any of our games. There was a big enough stink when Adidas brought out our current road uni.
You can sum up this sport in two words, 'You never know.'
Maybe this will help UM
they will be tricked into thinking they aren't playing a team they've lost to for half a decade.
The shoes
I heard a lot of the players hate the shoes that they have to wear. A lot of the line is complaining about their ankles rolling. Hopefully a good thing for us.
The best news regarding OSU's
The best news regarding OSU's unis is that it will probably take Pryor till at least middle of the third to realize they are wearing the same uniform he is. Big advantage for us.

On a related note, Justin
On a related note, Justin Boren has announced that he will be replacing his usual gameday leopard-skin panties with a cranberry silk number from Victoria Secret.
They are still Ohio State...
...so the uniforms are still HANDS DOWN the ugliest f'ing things I have ever laid eyes on (and that includes the 5'10", 85 lb., toothless Crypt-Keeper clone "chick" I saw at a Jackyl concert in Shreveport, LA)!!!

Jackyl concert in Shreveport
I want to party with you.
It is spelled HOKEAMANIA. Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!
My roommate in college
once went to the Lynard Skynard / Tesla / Bachman Turner Overdrive "TRIPLE CROWN OF SOUTHERN ROCK" tour... excluding himself, he had more fingers than the entire crowd had teeth. Although there was a tremendous amount of Jack Daniels being passed around at the lawn area at Pine Knob, er, DTE Music Center.
"So I come out of Ohio Stadium after we beat the Buckeyes, and right there on the hood of my friend's car, some one took a dump, in the shape of an 'O'. no shit. Oh, sorry, bad pun."
What Up With Their Helmets?
They look like the helmets that they wore in the "The Express" with Dennis Quaid.
Retro meets metro meets nitro? Weird combo.
Best part
The best part of the video is the Nike speaker referring to the 11 elite teams for which they are making uniform changes...and ohio state. Well done Mr. Nike.
I love Blue like a fat kid loves food...
Now What Are They Going To Do...
...with all of their lame buckeye stickers? It just won't be the same if we're not playing a team that looks like a flock of seagulls had massive diarrhea all over their glittery helmets.
Unbiased opinion
That's the most hiddeous piece of crap I've ever seen.

OH MY GOD THEY ARE BREAKING
OH MY GOD THEY ARE BREAKING WITH TRADITION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "Team Nike" comments
The "Team Nike" comments referenced above are apt.
I also hate how all of their stuff is incredibly heinous. diamondplate patterns on football uniforms is sooooo XFL.
I actually like the Oregon Unis from when Joey Harrington was there.
Nike makes money off selling merch, especially replica jerseys. Having a team change unis every few years (or in Oregon's case, multiple times per year) is money in the bank for them.
Pronounced Ahh-Neh-Muh
I like them a lot better than their current unis
but I think their current uniforms are some of the worst in football, both home and away.
They're gonna look great when we're running by them into the endzone.
