OT: Ohio State to wear 2014 CFP uniforms vs Michigan
https://twitter.com/AndrewMLind/status/1062510602327736321
At least they’re wearing somewhat traditional uniforms for The Game this year?
November 14th, 2018 at 10:23 AM ^
Let's start this. Next year.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
This year. I mean how hard is it?
November 14th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
This. The NCAA has even changed the uniform rules so it's possible without giving up TOs or penalty yards (thanks to USC-UCLA).
November 14th, 2018 at 10:52 AM ^
This. When jersey/pant colors for both teams are so different, this should be an option.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:22 AM ^
Commemorating that team just adds more fuel to the Revenge Tour fire...
As you may recall, that is the game in which Woody Hayes elected to go for two after OSU scored its last touchdown. When asked afterwards by reporters for his reasoning? He replied simply, "Because I couldn't go for three."
Granted, that game was suitably avenged the following year in Ann Arbor (not with "Touchdown Billy Taylor") but with the upset of the century, but if they want to go there, then so be it.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
Oh, yeah... This is a point that Jim MF'in Harbaugh will not fail to notice. And it will piss him off. A pissed off Harbaugh brings his team ready to play - er, scratch that. A pissed off Harbaugh brings his team ready to beat the crap out of you and calls timeouts to preserve your total humiliation.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:18 PM ^
Let's beat them 50-13.
Also, just an fyi...Touchdown Billy Taylor was in 1971. We got back at them for this 1968 game with the Upset of The Century and the most important win in the history of Michigan Football, Bo's first edition of The Game in 1969.
Bo wrote 50 on everything in the locker room in preparation for this game.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
All i hope is that they have a top notch laundry service to clean out all the grass and blood stains. Who gives a flying f what uniforms they wear. Probably Urban's last game in the shoe as well.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:30 AM ^
Wow, so they are invoking the year that was their previous height of hubris and the beginning of the end for the last great era(+UofM dominance); or, but maybe at the same time, adding extra risk to their QB getting hurt?
Sounds great!
November 14th, 2018 at 10:32 AM ^
Disrespect, pound em!
November 14th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
OK, cool. Hook 'em.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:38 AM ^
fuck Ohio state. Their uniforms are ugly.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
Very true.
You know what ugly girls do before going on a night on the town? They try and make themselves look better, and feel better.
Thats what OSU is doing right now. They're ugly, and they are down.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
You know pretty girls do that too, right? Do you have experience with girls?
November 14th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
Everyone associated with ohio state can go fuck themselves.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:44 AM ^
These stupid uniforms didn't make sense in 1968, 2014, or today. "Uhhh, let's just put black numbers on the shoulders for some reason." Yeah, looks real sweet.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
They can go fuck themselves. I hope Devin Bush and the rest of the D take it personally.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
Can't wait to see Devin tap dance the block "o"
November 14th, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
Just beat the crap out of them and take that momentum into winning the CFP so Michigan can wear their Cfp unis against osu in the future.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
In my view, Nike / Adidas / Under Armor have completely ruined the concept of throwback jerseys or special alternative uniforms.
Going back a decade (maybe a bit more), it was pretty rare for a team to wear anything other than their home or road uniforms - usually limited to a very significant game, and then the alternative jersey had some significance. Now, some teams wear 1-2 alternative unis a season, so it is nothing more than a shameless attempt to sell more jerseys.
That all said, I actually like these - probably because they are actual throwbacks to jerseys that the team wore 50 years ago, and not some bumble bee striped nonsense that throws back to nothing.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
I agree! I think they should give all throw backs to Champion or BIKE
November 14th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Some quick home-vs-home mockups. I dig it.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:52 AM ^
Awesome job. Was just about to do the same. Glad I scrolled.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:16 PM ^
Dig it. Both M-OSU and M-MSU should be home vs home colors
November 14th, 2018 at 12:45 PM ^
definitely not M-MSU... Blue/Green color blindness is quite common.
November 14th, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
I thought that was red/green color blindness.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
Why is Shea doing a TD celebration during pre-game warmups while OSU is running onto the field? Someone tell him to turn around quick before he gets run over!
November 14th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
It's a postgame celebration and OSU players are running back to the locker room (you can even see the one guy with his shoulders slumped and most heads are down). Shea has won it.
November 14th, 2018 at 5:12 PM ^
Exactly. That's Shea running in the final play to make it 49-0 Michigan. You can also see smoke from Brutus who has just committed some sort of pyrotechnic Seppuku.
November 14th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Might be an unpopular opinion but I don't like it. It's fun for USC/UCLA, but nothing beats blue Michigan uniforms clashing with the road OSU uniforms.
Maybe we somehow unfairly agree to only do this at the shoe?
November 14th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
Doesn't matter what they put on.
Cuz we're puttin' an ass kicking on them.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
If you have to wear 3 different uniforms and helmets every year, don't ever talk about how "iconic " your look is.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:55 AM ^
Whatever. Dig up Woody's bones. Bring back all the Heisman winners. Still gonna get their asses kicked no matter what they wear.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:57 AM ^
Let them grasp for any motivation they can. Any aid to lessen the ass kicking that awaits them is needed.
November 14th, 2018 at 10:58 AM ^
Better break out the CFP uni’s before the regular seasons over because you ain’t gonna get a chance to wear em in the CFP!
November 14th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
They can come out in leather helmets and g strings for all I care.
Please, for the love of all that is good and decent in this world, PLEASE just beat those guys. After the last 17 years, enough is enough.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
.... pass.
NTTAWWT.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
I actually think OSU's 2012 and 2013 alternates they were for the game were great. They had slight variations to their regular uniforms, but actually were kind of better.
The ones they wore last year looked tacky, and I have bad memories when I think of the black helmets they wore in 2016.
They have only worn their "traditional" home or away uniforms 3 times in the past 10 meetings.
(2011, 2014, 2015).
November 14th, 2018 at 11:14 AM ^
I want a "What's Your Deal?" moment SO badly after this game. I want carnage.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:18 AM ^
I'm getting ready for "Hate Week" early.
To the last I grapple with thee. From hell's heart I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
We've always been at war with Shithole, OH
November 14th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
URRRRRBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
November 14th, 2018 at 11:20 AM ^
To me OSU's uniforms are total meh. What's so cool about silver and scarlet? Nothing. Silver is about as bland a hue as you'll find. If anything, even OSU knows how lame their uniforms are by covering that boring helmet with Buckeye stickers, which to me, is about the only interesting thing about the uniform.
If you're going to do silver, Lions or Panthers blue pairs far better than hideous scarlet. I could find 50 programs with cooler color schemes and uniforms. Ped State's helmets come in last place to me however. The notion that their all whites are cool or interesting is about as logical as going to an art exhibit and trying to find meaning staring into a blank canvas for an hour.
The fact that OSU continues to tinker with their duds is further evidence they themselves also know their traditional attire is a yawnfest, especially when contrasted against the finest uniforms and helmets in all of sports worn by our team.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:22 AM ^
I don't know why some people make such a big deal about this. If OSU wants to wear something different, that is their decision. When the ball is kicked, no one will give a shit about the uniforms.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:39 AM ^
THEY SHALL BE SOAKED IN BUCKEYE BLOOD AND TEARS.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:39 AM ^
I always post the same thing around this time of year...The Game should include home uniforms only.
November 14th, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
Yep yep yep… (x1000)
Like so:
November 14th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
I really wish we would do what USC and UCLA do and just both wear home uniforms.
November 14th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
I'd have proposed orange prison jumpsuits but this'll work too I guess.
November 14th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
I wish they'd just wear their regular uniforms (actually I wish we'd go UCLA/USC color-on-color, TVs haven't been black and white for a while now) but these are basically their regulator uniforms IIRC (twitter is blocked on my work computer) so good enough.
