Ohio State once again wearing alternate uniforms for The Game

in football. It actually makes me kinda sad because our game against them is so high profile and it thus kinda reflects on us too.

Grey combined with a "scarlet" that's really just bright red isn't very good. It's a weak contrast and the grey plays against the red's pop so the red actually manages to get pushed to the back so to speak even though it's the actual color of note in the scheme. So they're the "Red" team but it's not like Wisconsin or Nebraska where the red/white contrast is very classic/cliched but works.

So the emphasis goes to grey which is like pretty sad..it's a grey day, the clouds are grey, the grey of the old city. Grey evokes negative ideas, it goes hand in hand with the other gr-word "grim".

As a result they will on occasion just turn it into a silver..or add white or black to it. But these are all still really bad combinations that don't really change it because you gotta have that grey in there somehow.

Their band looks like a paramilitary force in a 3rd rate totalitarian country because of all the black and grey coupled with little red accents (symbolize the blood of the workers? the blood of their race? who knows).

It's this fundamental flaw that makes them so open to these alternate uniforms. If you got a crappy look, you may as well play around with it. And of course their alternate looks almost as a rule go into the sci-fi movie attack squad direction emphasizing grey and black because I guess that's where the mind of a designer naturally goes when confronted with their color scheme.

pretty well for alternates, I think.  Their helmet is pretty basic, so making changes to it is a nice dress up.  Also, their colors make it so black can be incorporated and still somewhat make sense.  

As much tradition as there is in the MIchigan uniform, and not really wanting to make changes anyway, I don't think there are a lot of options for Michigan alternates.  

I want to beat them more than I want to breathe sometimes. I have this horrible feeling this game will look an awful lot like the 2015 game, hope I am wrong. They still have everything to play for, and Meyer will have them juiced. 

Basically, Gene Smith is a richer man's Dave Brandon.  He had the good sense to hire an elite football coach who fell into his lap but otherwise has the same obsession with commercializing and profiting from everything.

blah blah blah blah

I hate this every time they do it. The Game doesn't need alternate uniforms and gimmicks, it's already good by itself. The classic look of the two normal uniforms going head to head is timeless.

When I look at these uniforms, all I can think of is that moment in the Curb Seinfeld reunion.

Icon! Icon! Icon! No-con!

No one asked for this. No one likes this. All we want is this:

How do we get this?

I hate this so much.  Why can't we for once have a Michigan - Ohio State classic rivalry game with both teams wearing their classic uniforms?  Oh well.

will look terrible at a noon kickoff 

Just one more reason to despise them

OSU wants to take some of the attention away from UM due to the game being played in AA, and put it on them. It's a good strategy from a PR standpoint. I hope UM, however, sees it as disrespectful, and plays out of their mind as a result. 

Don't give a shit about the ass wipes' unis.  Still pissed from last year.

I'm sick of it too.
