OSU's Uniforms for "The Game" to have Military theme

It looks like the Nike influenced uniforms that OSU will be wearing this fall when the Mighty Wolverines travel to the snakepit in Columbus will have a military theme "honoring" their 1942 team.  They will include a camoflague theme on the numbers as well as a flag patch and more.  The link does not include pictures, but the designs are supposed to be released by Nike tomorrow.

http://www.cleveland.com/buckeyeblog/index.ssf/2010/08/ohio_state_uniforms_for_michig.html

On a related vomit inducing note, the Alabama uniforms are going to have a houndstooth pattern to "honor" Bear Bryant.

Thank God, Yost, Crisler, & Schembechler we have Adidas provided uniforms.

Agree - this is one of those times that I am thankful that we have adidas.  Could you imagine the uproar (justified) if we had camo numbers or any of these gimmicks?

There are no pictures in the article.  Just a description.  By the description though, these uniforms are getting dangerously close to belonging in the Arena Football League or XFL!!

Yep

And this article and post gives a description of what the uniforms will look like.  I'd call it new and relevant information and not a re-post.  Reading what is in a post rather than a headline is key.

Now let's not be too

Now let's not be too judgmental here.  Maybe Michigan could honor the 1997 team by wearing "throwbacks" that replace the numbers on the front with a picture of Charles Woodson.  You know, to honor tradition.  And maybe some dragons on our helmets.  Dragons have wings, too.  Throw in some tribal armband tattoo designs on the arms of the jerseys, and I think we could sell a lot of new jerseys.

This Game

doesn't need gimmicky uniforms.  It doesn't need to be changed on the calendar.  It doesn't need the conference where it's flourished to turn it's back on the decades of tradition.

It needs Ohio State to stop treating it like a goddamned Paris fashion show.  It needs Michigan to smack Ohio State in the mouth, win the thing and remind them we're still here.  And, most importantly, it needs to be left alone.

I support our troops and have often worn cammo at appropriate times (e.g with a rifle in my hands trying to bag something), but I'll be borderline apoplexic if I have to watch us lose over Thanksgiving to tOSU in those redneck trashy trucker hats née jerseys.

and I do not approve of Nike's continued efforts to produce the worst-looking football uniforms ever (remember this?), nor do I approve of Ohio State's cooperation.  I want the NCAA to start sanctioning Nike.

Cosign.

Has everybody in the world lost their minds? Houndstooth for the Tide? Is there no Athletic Director with the balls to say to Phil Knight, "Not in your wildest, meth-fueled dreams will we wear your fucking dumbass uniforms."

Nike influenced uniforms that OSU will be wearing this fall when the Mighty Wolverines travel to the snakepit in Columbus will have a military theme "honoring" their 1942 team. 

Nothing like a 68th anniversary celebration.  They could have decided to wait until 2012 for the seventieth anniversary . . . but then I guess that would be a little too rational for Nike's tastes.

Or

they could like...not...put camo on a uniform, particularly for the most storied rivalry game in all of sports.

This is the last time Michigan plays OSU for the last game of the season AND OHIO STATE IS WEARING FUCKING CAMO ON THEIR UNIFORMS.

I-just-.....I have no words for this.

The one positive in all this

The one positive in all this is that it will enrage OSU fans even further at their AD and keep up the angry emails. 

Speaking of which, I hope people are still contacting Brandon, Smith and Delany (and maybe Gee and Coleman, too).  Don't forget about that as the season approaches.

Army wore camo:

But they can get away with it because it actually looked okay, they're actually the army, and those players actually end up wearing camo for real.  (Actually actually.)  OSU...not so much.

I blame Oregon and College Sports Marketing Interns

and the school of thought that says change is always best.  I blame them for sitting around meeting room tables and contributing more creative and obscene ways to destroy everything that is good and traditional and wholesome about American college football. 

Consistency, doing nothing - changing nothing - can also be a good, sound marketing strategy.

At times, it can be the best strategy.

Uniforms

Personally, I like Nike uniforms a lot more. I liked Michigan's Nike unis a lot more than Adidas now. I do feel that the game should STAY maize and blue and scarlet and gray. Our uniforms/helmets are legendary, don't change a thing. About Alabama, that's okay. He was one of the greatest of all time to me. With the likes of Bo, Bowden, Paterno, Saban, Yost, and dare I say it here, Woody.

edit: Also I'll throw in Meyer and Kelly

The OSU '42 tribute uniform is posted at 11 Warriors now.

All-scarlet helmets, scarlet jerseys with old-school numbers, dark gray pants.

No camo "outerwear" at all.  Apparently an underlayer is camo.
