We figured this was coming right? And shall I assume there will be specially designed socks and sleeves as well?

I can't wait until we kick their ass

but it does. I wish they would just keep the traditional helmets for The Game.

I'm surprised they don't save this totally awesome uniform for their bowl game.

Omg am I sick of the uniformz. All of them. If you dont like your damn unis, change them to something you do like. Then leave them the hell alone.

I like that when I watch classic games or see old photos, I can tell who's playing. Plus I'm just afraid that a really great, historic game is going to happen and for all time, posterity will look back on it and say, "Wow. What the hell was up with those uniformz?"

God forbid anyone wear their actual uniforms for a big game. This is Nike's biggest down fall in my opinion. They just can't leave well enough, alone. News flash, people are tuning in to see the game not what uniform a team has on unless of course you are an Oregon fan.

Fuck ohio.

And go to hell Nike. 

am i the only one around here who thinks these are pretty much the same as their normal ones?

Why is the model running through a cloud of gnats?



/ I like them. The big stipe on top and chroming are obv progressive changes to their brand. But agree, they should have worn them against Wisc, not U-M.

If a team wants to mess with their uniform regularly, fine, but they surrender any claim to tradition or history.  If you want to align with the Oregons or Oklahoma State's of college football, who have neither of those things, have at it.

I hate them so much.

I agree that I prefer my team to wear consistent uniforms throughout a season. But I know the reality of the situation is that Nike and the school make a lot of money from sales when you change the jersey up even a little bit. Also, the players seem to like it and recruits love it. However, I absolutely hate with a burning passion that we wear them against UofM. I want to see the winged helments clashing with the silver bullets full of Buckeye leaves earned throughout the season. Any other game, I'd be 100% behind these "alternative" "uniforms" But I guess that's part of the marketing plan, to rile up fans like us on blogs and message boards to get people talking about it more.

they dont get any gold pants to wear (or pawn) this year, I don't give a flying fig what they wear. The world is now a shameless money grab. Kind of sad, but thats how companies are able to pay thousands of kids in Thailand 15 cents an hour to create these monstrosities.

My lawn...get off 

Red and chrome stripes like the Stillers.

O yeah, these uniforms. The same exact ones they wore for their game against Wisconsin last year. They are nice but give it a break. It would be nice if teams just stuck to tradition and wore what they normally did. None of this throwback retro team uniforms stuff. This isn't your great great grandfather team (insert OSU or Michigan), just wear what you have now. 

These are quite similar to their traditional unis. Prefer traditional but OK.

I cannot stand the changes when the team isn't recognizable. ESPN shows a highlight and you don't even know the team - oh, wait, that's either Oregon or West Virginia or Army ...

Ironically, the image masters at Nike go too far and hurt the schools' brands.

LOL @ olds in this thread complaining about uniform changes. Settle down you guys. Young people like this and it helps with recrutment. This practice is not going away. Teams that do this typically do it for 1 or 2 games per year at most. You guys still get the other 10 or 11. Stop crying.
