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

i like the idea of the houndstooth -  so fierce!

camo - so 2005, as if!

Cant the (possibly) last end of the year mich/osu game just be maize and blue vs scarlet and grey?

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?

All I thought of when I read this title was fake epaulettes ala Janet Jackson.....

horsepucky.

this rivalry is at right now.  Its just crap in every direction I look except the (now) distant past.

Thank God we wear our throwback jerseys to every home game. No need to "honor" an old team when we do that every time.

Just thinking there might be a link because both OSU and Nazi uniforms were gray...

(note - extreme sarcasm here)

UM REFUSES PATRIOTISM, SNUBS VETERANS FOR GAME
Ohio State shows class while RR shows commie values

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.

Ohio St. and fashion don't exactly go hand in hand. If the Columbus waterfalls and buckeye necklaces don't prove that I don't know what will. Fuck Ohio St and fuck Nike. Go Blue

Thank God, Yost, Crisler, & Schembechler

This is redundant

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.

Will the pants be jorts?

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. 

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.

You don't have to wait until tomorrow.  I had to sneak into Nike headquarters to obtain this exclusive pic, but that's the least I could do for my fellow mgoblog members.

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.

Woody would have probably dug this.

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

Just more evidence that Nike really blows chunks.

Wait, what?

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

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

Although many of the loyalists seem to like it, some are calling it "too Alabama."

They actually look reasonably good. Surprisingly, they're pretty close to the 1943 uniforms (with that fugly piping, of course). Better than last year's unis, anyway.
