OSU to Wear Uniformz for The Game (Again)

Ugh.

Ohio State removed the image and would not comment on whether it was, indeed, a picture of the jerseys that will be worn for ‘The Game’ this season, but a source close to the team told us it looked very similar.

“It will feature a helmet with an enlarged stripe and a scarlet jersey with standard block numbers outlined in a reflective silver,” the source said of this year’s alternate jerseys.

“It will have the standard gray pants, but with only a 3/4 stripe because of how they are designed. The stripes on the sleeves are enlarged as well, to match the helmet.”

There have also been rumors the helmet will have more of a chrome finish, much like the ones Oregon has been wearing, instead of the usual silver.

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?"

 Uniforms are the silliest things to argue about. Even before Adidas or Nike ever did Michigan uniforms they constantly changed. The general idea of the uni's stayed the same but a lot of the details have changed and will continue to change. As long as the helmets have wings and the colors are maize and blue , have a coke and a smile and stfu

My point is even the Every day jerseys change year to year. There is no "traditional" Michigan jersey besides the maize and blue and winged helmet. Even the colors of the uniforms constantly change.

“Change begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man habituated to a narrow circle of cares and pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his departure from the monotonous scene on which he has been an actor of importance would seem to be the signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.”

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.

But numbers lie. And if you can see those viewers tuned in...even if they would have anyway - it makes you look better. If one recruit says something about how they liked them - it makes you look better.

It doesn't matter what we think...we're going to watch the game regardless. What they're trying to do is get viewers, buyers, etc. they didn't have access to before.

Fact: Adidas made more money off those ugly bumblebee uni's than they lost in viewershis, exposure, and sales. For every fan that said "those are gross, I'm not buying Adidas or watching the game." There had to be 4-5 people purchasing the new white, blue and maize monstrosity.

Those aren't gloves -- they're full hand tattoos. Nike has gone too far this time. What's next? Is it true that Oregon is going to play Oregon State naked and dipped in chrome?

Outside of the gloves I really can't see any difference. 

I just hope NIke doesn't screw us with the refs this year like they did in 2010.

I was at THE GAME that year when they gave Dave Sanzenbacher the excessive celebration penalty for making an O with his hads.... Dumb call.

/ 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 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.

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.

I'm not sure what you're saying... These aren't the uniforms from last year's game against UW. Point is, they wear these for big home games because recruits like them and the players and many fans like them, and that isn't gonna change

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.
