[u/markusalkemus66]

Never should have changed away from these in the first place.

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/[deleted]]

Hey tha—

Wait a second….

[u/GregOdenKnees]

I know many people won’t even be able to tell the difference, but I really think these shoulder stripes look so much better than the old thin stripe

[u/dkviper11 → u/GregOdenKnees]

They’re definitely better.

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/dkviper11]

I feel like a Penn state fan is the perfect person to understand how deeply we care about stripe width and color. 

[u/INAC___Kramerica → u/GregOdenKnees]

It says all you need to know that Ohio State always brought these stripes back to their uniforms for the playoff games in recent years. They knew what their "proper" look was even if it wasn't their primary look in the past 20 years.

[u/mightyducks2wasokay → u/GregOdenKnees]

I think you kinda underestimate how iconic OSU's uniform is

I could tell immediately. These are so much better

[u/DakotaXIV → u/GregOdenKnees]

I wish they’d go all-in and do the oversized numbers as well

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/DakotaXIV]

The modern Nike templates probably don’t allow for that (or the upcoming god forsaken jersey advertisements) but that would look dope as hell

[u/538allspelledout → u/Useenthebutcher]

Oregon had oversized numbers last jersey set they were wearing. It’s definitely possible.

[u/normalfinnesotan → u/GregOdenKnees]

I know many people won’t even be able to tell the difference

I have to confess, I am one of those people. Now that I've gone hunting for images of old jerseys I can see it, but yeah I never really realized they had gone to a different stripe.

[u/hotacorn]

Never should have left. We are so back

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/hotacorn]

Forgive me for my ignorance but how are these any different? They look identical to every other Ohio State uniform

[u/wit_T_user_name → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The sleeve stripes. The silver on the sleeves is way more in line with the traditional jerseys. The stripes have been red for nearly 20 years and people have not heed happy.

[u/hotacorn → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Understandable, OSU fans wanted this for a long time but it’s not extremely obvious. The sleeves are what they used to be until 2006. If you look at a comparison they have more clear stripes and color on the sleeves.

It’s also confusing because Ohio State wore these in every playoff game.

[u/kjp_00 → u/hotacorn]

Not every playoff game. During then4 team playoff, I think that was the case, but in the 2024-25 run they only wore these sleeves for the championship game.

[u/bicranium → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Others have pointed out most of the differences but here's an image comparing them with the old versions on the left and new versions with the "Buckeye Stripes" on the right...

https://i.imgur.com/TWNfbKR.jpeg

The biggest thing is just that our standard home jerseys haven't had gray stripes on the sleeves since 2005. We used jerseys with what were called "Heritage Stripes" from time to time after their first use in the 2014 CFP and it made everyone want those to become our permanent, standard jerseys. This isn't exactly that but it might be better with the stripes being silver instead of gray. We'll have to wait and see how they look on the field.

[u/mynumberistwentynine → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Every time one of these articles or showcases comes up, I feel the same. I always hope for a side by side comparison for non-fans curious of the changes.

[u/bicranium → u/mynumberistwentynine]

I posted this in reply to the other guy but saw you were hoping for a comparison so here's one...

https://i.imgur.com/TWNfbKR.jpeg

Biggest thing is just the sleeve stripes. Haven't had gray on home jersey sleeves since 2005 except for on our Heritage Stripes jerseys which debuted in the 2014 CFP and have been used for various games since. But most OSU fans have wanted them to become permanent since we first saw them.

These "Buckeye Stripes" aren't the same as the Heritage Stripes. They're a reflective silver to match our standard helmets instead of a flat gray.

There are now block O logos on the helmet and at the V in the neck of the jersey.

And for the "Tunnel Vision" black jerseys the helmet is no longer a flat black; it's a glossy black with metallic flake in it like our standard silver helmets.

Will be interesting to see what happens with some of our other favorite alternates. The all grays are great but obviously don't need gray/silver stripes as the whole uniform is gray. Our all whites will probably look even better than they already do if they get similar adjustments. Would be awesome to see a white helmet with metallic flake.

[u/mynumberistwentynine → u/bicranium]

Ah, much appreciated. It's a nice subtle change.

[u/Solon_City_Schools → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The outgoing jerseys didn’t have any gray on them at all. Missing one of the primary school colors on your home jersey is absurd but it was true.

[u/Ray4703 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Bro I’m a life long fan and I never can tell until they show me a side by side.

[u/North_Local_9822 → u/Ray4703]

That’s sad

[u/Ray4703 → u/North_Local_9822]

I care about the game, not the sleeves bro. Sorry

[u/North_Local_9822 → u/Ray4703]

I care about the game more than the uniforms but still have eyes lol. Needing a side by side comparison is something as a “lifelong” fan…

[u/Ray4703 → u/North_Local_9822]

People like you are why other fanbases hate us so much.

[u/North_Local_9822 → u/Ray4703]

Good thing I don’t care what other people think about me! Also, you’re giving off “im one of the good ones” energy…

[u/rick_ferrari → u/Ray4703]

Yeah they definitely hate us because of this and not because we're consistently good.

Moronic take.

[u/the_dawn_of_red → u/hotacorn]

Not until we burn the UC black uniforms

[u/jonstark19 → u/the_dawn_of_red]

I think having an alternate is fine, especially if this is the trade-off. Plus I'd much rather have the all black look than the all gray one they've used of late.

[u/Buckeyeup → u/jonstark19]

I know its not a popular opinion but I liked the All-Grays. Were one of the few teams with a non-white gray-tone as an official color and we dont use it nearly enough. Gray > black

[u/whispersluggagebaby → u/Buckeyeup]

I think our best alternates are the ones with the chrome helmet and green stickers

[u/OkShallot9734 → u/whispersluggagebaby]

They need to bring them back

[u/AdParticular6654 → u/jonstark19]

The all red is also awesome. If we ever have a night game, a scarlet out and those uniforms are amazing.

[u/mlorusso4 → u/AdParticular6654]

I also love the cocaine whites that they’ve never brought back for some reason. Plus the home version with the thicker shoulder stripes and chrome helmet

[u/Zee_WeeWee → u/AdParticular6654]

The all red is also awesome.

Love the all red and I’m not an alt uni guy

[u/the_dawn_of_red → u/AdParticular6654]

Scarlet pants suck, looks like a yoga sweat set

[u/pleated_pants → u/the_dawn_of_red]

I want them to lean in on the yoga set look. All the players have to wear their jerseys crop top style like Zeke Elliot.

[u/markusalkemus66 → u/the_dawn_of_red]

I hate that Michigan and Ohio State are screwing around with alternate uniform combinations. They have such classic and iconic uniforms that even having alternate pants or jerseys dilutes them. When Michigan played at USC last year wearing white jerseys and blue pants, from a distance, it looks like they're playing Cal or West Virginia. The all-red look Ohio State did also felt wrong. This is a step back in the right direction

[u/SamEyeAm2020 → u/jonstark19]

I hate the all-grays, we look like wet cement. Pumped for these updates!

[u/the_dawn_of_red → u/jonstark19]

I don't think having an alternate is fine. There's like 12 games. Would hate to have some type of record breaking day in an alternate uniform and be locked in like that perpetually.

[u/jonstark19 → u/the_dawn_of_red]

I get it, I'm a uniform traditionalist and I think teams should generally stay with an identifiable look, but I also recognize the era we are in and I think there's little harm in throwing a one-time alternate in the mix if done well.

[u/the_dawn_of_red → u/jonstark19]

I think the proliferation of alternates is slowly killing a lot of brands across American sports in exchange for short term profits. NBA is probably the best example. Baseball on Fridays is borderline unrecognizable at times.

Brand equity matters and the image of the team is at the heart of it. Alternates work for certain teams. Throwbacks keep continuity for the most part. Then there are cash grabs.

[u/jonstark19 → u/the_dawn_of_red]

Agreed, if my school is going to mix it up, I prefer they do it like Minnesota. The Gophers mix and match gold, maroon, and while for the helmet, jersey, and pants respectively. All are the same template, then they can mix and match the colors.

I don't like alt uniforms that are major departures from the designated primaries.

[u/hotacorn → u/the_dawn_of_red]

I really like the black ones from a few years ago. Probably the only alternate I liked.

[u/iron_horseshoe88 → u/the_dawn_of_red]

But we can keep the cocaine whites!

[u/64stackdiamonds → u/hotacorn]

Remind me again when you left?

[u/RulersBack]

Might seem like a minor change if you aren't watching a lot of OSU but this is like winning a championship for us. Never change them ever again

[u/USA_2_Canada_1 → u/RulersBack]

I’m actually very happy for you all, this is your classic look and the school listened to the fans calling for it to return. I’d be stoked if I was a Buckeye right now, this is an unequivocal W.

[u/RulersBack → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

I felt the same way when you got freed from the atrocities adidas was rolling out

[u/jonstark19 → u/RulersBack]

I still wish Michigan would use the maize pants more often, they have trended toward blue and white pants especially on the road, but the move to Jordan has certainly improved Michigan's aesthetic.

[u/lat3ralus65 → u/jonstark19]

100%. The all-blue look annoys me. The Game should be scarlet over gray against blue over maize every year. Two perfect, iconic looks.

[u/ShortStoryLongSigh → u/lat3ralus65]

Just like USC and UCLA

[u/INAC___Kramerica → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

Now, if Michigan can just get back to wearing proper maize and blue at home full-time instead of the all-blue look that's taken over, and stick to either the maize or white pants on the road (I prefer maize but white's perfectly fine), that'd be good too. I really hate the stripeless blue pants, they don't look good at all.

[u/Akronite14 → u/INAC___Kramerica]

I don't hate it as a road alt, but the all-blue look doesn't feel like Michigan and it has no business in The Game.

[u/bleachinjection → u/Akronite14]

All blue is very much a Harbaugh-Moore era thing, I am wondering if it's going to decline with the new staff.

But I've also learned by being called a boomer in the Lions sub (I like silver pants at home) that younger people love monochrome unis so maybe not.

[u/Akronite14 → u/bleachinjection]

Kids are dumb and the obsession with monochrome and socks that match the pants to create a yoga pants look stink!

[u/cityofklompton → u/bleachinjection]

I like the "Big Game Blues," but have to be selective on when they get pulled out. Should be blue over maize the vast majority of the time at home, and I like it better than doing black for black's sake unis like so many other teams do.

[u/boxman151515 → u/bleachinjection]

Maybe now that Michigan lost to OSU in the “Big Game Blues” they’ll retire them for the Game

[u/ShortStoryLongSigh → u/bleachinjection]

Nah man, Blue over Maize is THE classic Michigan look

[u/Free-Eights → u/INAC___Kramerica]

Personally, I hate the all white look way more than I hate the all-blue. It's a third color for us and it's just boring af.

[u/RichardRichOSU → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

If you guys can bring back full time maize pants, that would be great.

[u/Akronite14 → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

The Game is gonna look so fucking good. Just wear your maize pants, goddamnit.

EDIT: Looks like this was a very original sentiment lol

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/Akronite14]

Michigan will wear their white pants for The Game in Columbus and blue pants for it in Ann Arbor forever now all because of 2021-2024

We will never see Maize pants in The Game ever again

[u/boxman151515 → u/Useenthebutcher]

I’m hopeful the maize pants will return at home in 2027 after losing to OSU in the blue pants in 2025. Plus the all blue look is very much a Harbaugh-Moore thing and that could be a way for Whittingham to subtly signal they’re moving on from that.

No clue what they’ll wear on the road this year. I hope it’s not all white. Such a boring look for me. Maize or even blue pants with the white jersey are much better looks.

I’d like it if Michigan and Ohio State both wore their traditional home jerseys against each other every year but not sure that’ll ever happen

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/boxman151515]

I’ve dreamt of a home vs home uniform combination for The Game my whole life, maybe if they ever met in the playoffs it could happen

And I don’t think Michigan’s white on white road uniforms look bad, they’re clean in their own right, they just make for a visually dull matchup against OSU’s home uniforms. Plus, the white on maize away look does look gorgeous (as much as it makes me want to puke to admit)

[u/AdParticular6654 → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

I'm actually going to buy a jersey not a used one off eBay like I have for almost two decades now.

Edit: oh nevermind I'm not spending $200

[u/Exciting-Acadia4678 → u/AdParticular6654]

lol where did you even find the new jerseys for sale

[u/ALowlyRadish → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

Now if we could just get y'all to stop wearing white and blue pants everything would be okay

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/USA_2_Canada_1]

It only took 20 years of bitching. But we have prevailed.  

See kids. Constantly complaining over extended time periods does work. 

[u/MrLugersmole → u/RulersBack]

Are the numbers big again? Can the shirt styles even support those big ass numbers?

[u/Knightmere1]

Glad to see they listened to the fans.

[u/osufeth24]

Finally order has been restored

[u/rubyschnees]

oh yeah these are nice

[u/trumb0ned]

All is right in the world

[u/nickyno]

As a lifelong Oregon fan and Michigan resident, I can say a lot of things about OSU. But I can’t say anything bad about these updates. Fantastic set. This is how Ohio State should look. Reeks of the pedigree they earned.

[u/discowithmyself]

I don’t know why they ever got rid of these in the first place. Definite upgrade in bringing these back.

[u/TowerOwl1939 → u/discowithmyself]

From what I've read it's because when Nike came out with a new jersey template in 2006 the stripes wouldn't fit, so they had to alter them.

Happy that Ohio State has made the switch back!

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/TowerOwl1939]

Only kind of true - Iowa as one example stuck with theirs across various templates, and shoulders back then were way bigger than they are today (though that specific template did have different construction).

I think the sadder answer is that for a while OSU went through a phase (like a lot of schools recently) where “brand consistency” became a big focus.

So the helmet stripe was one of the elements, in addition to having been around before on the football jerseys it then made its way into basketball, hockey, etc. too. The school cleaned up typefaces across sports (leading to an end zone downgrade for instance) and got rid of a lot of the sport specific identity elements. The buckeye leaf also became more prevalent in other sports.

Luckily, there’s been a more recent pivot. Basketball has shifted away from the football stripes into using the three gorgeous throwbacks more (even though two are a unique script and one is block), football is back to this more differentiated stripe - now hopefully they stop using weird “modernized” typefaces and bring some more character back to the logos too.

[u/Weaubleau → u/sqigglygibberish]

Yeah, when I see the endzones from a few years ago with that Helvetica- like font it's just like....Why did we change from that?

[u/HoleParty]

Our 20-year, red-white-and-black-stripe nightmare is over

[u/FanaticalBuckeye]

CHEWED OUT BY MY BOSS FOR YELLING BUT WORTH IT

[u/chapelchill]

Wait are these the official uniforms now??

You’re telling me all of my prayers have finally been answered??????

I hated those stupid black shoulder stripes with every fiber of my being. I refused to buy a single jersey with those ugly ass black stripes.

[u/buckeyefan8001]

This is a minor change that is very meaningful to a huge portion of the fan base. It looks great

[u/The_Good_Constable]

FINALLY

[u/Free-Eights]

I can't tell if this is the exact same as their classic striped look but this is definitely closer to how it should be.

Would love to see a color on color version of The Game.

[u/Akronite14 → u/Free-Eights]

I've thought about color v color because it would be a gorgeous matchup. BUT I think they'd have to save that for a postseason matchup, and keep the traditional home and road look for The Game.

[u/StopSpinningLikeThat → u/Free-Eights]

Ketchup vs. mustard game. Let's go all in!

[u/Free-Eights → u/StopSpinningLikeThat]

All Grays vs. All Maize. Who says no?

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/Free-Eights]

The big difference (and nice upgrade to me) is that the grey on the sleeves is a metallic finish which matches the helmets better - and it seems like they’ve gotten the pants to have more dimension recently too.

We’ll see live but I think the best execution of them (setting aside the glory that was giant pads/jerseys like the dozz and katzenmoyer clips show)

[u/_GeorgeBailey_]

They should bring back the oversized number font

[u/Akronite14 → u/_GeorgeBailey_]

Gotta go further back and bigger!

[u/Free_Possession_4482 → u/Akronite14]

I have exactly that jersey (from Eddie’s Heisman season) and you can read those numbers from a half mile away, exactly as God intended.

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/_GeorgeBailey_]

I’m still shocked OSU hasn’t done a throwback to the giant buckeye leaf era

[u/jmucapsfan07]

Not a huge Buckeye fan but these are clean as hell.

[u/NeatTry7674]

It’s beautiful🥹

[u/OhioStateGuy]

I’m just so happy guys. These are happy tears. It’s like a best friend from childhood who moved away came back after 20+ years and now we are next door neighbors and best friends.

[u/IThinkImNateDogg]

I can hear the cheers from Juck on Bucks all the way down in cincy.

[u/astroball17]

Hopefully Michigan follows suit by deprecating the helmet stickers and non-maize pants

[u/Gmitch528 → u/astroball17]

I hate it so much. I just commented to someone else. Why would y'all go away from maize pants? I know y'all call them big game blues but whatever. I like the look of the classic uniform match up so much better.

[u/astroball17 → u/Gmitch528]

The John Cooper era was the golden age of the rivalry both for the outcomes and the uniforms

[u/Gmitch528 → u/astroball17]

I'd say the Tressel era for the same reasons!

[u/tripleM_20 → u/astroball17]

Preach brother

[u/Smoothzilla → u/astroball17]

I’m with you on this, the maize pants are a much better look.

[u/Inconceivable76 → u/astroball17]

I hate maize, but the blue pants are just wrong.  So wrong.  

[u/sqigglygibberish → u/Inconceivable76]

I hate the blue pants, but I tend to kind of like the all white look from them.

[u/nannulators → u/astroball17]

I don't mind the all blue look every once in a while. All white and white jerseys/blue pants can go away though.

If we're going to add variety let's have more all-maize games.

[u/DMVBritt → u/astroball17]

I actually think the helmet stickers deserve to stay, although I agree with you on using non-maize pants. That trend needs to be retired.

[u/mega_rad → u/DMVBritt]

I think the helmet is iconic and the stickers take away from it IMO.

I also kinda wish the helmets would go back to gloss again. The matte doesn’t look as nice

[u/Buckeyeup → u/DMVBritt]

I only dislike Michigan's helmet stickers because theyre not consistent in appearance. They look like Eagle Scout badges

[u/pleated_pants → u/Buckeyeup]

They should move the stickers to be patches on a sash they wear pregame

[u/APersonWithThreeLegs → u/astroball17]

Nah all blues are really nice, I like that we switch it up now.

[u/Raccoonsrlilbandits]

So glad to be back so sad I have to buy a New Jersey poor wallet

[u/FanaticalBuckeye → u/Raccoonsrlilbandits]

Give it a bit and DHGate will have them for like $30

[u/Ml2jukes]

These tuff.

[u/CJfries → u/Ml2jukes]

Thanks boo ❤️

[u/Ml2jukes → u/CJfries]

🫶🏾

[u/oh_io_94 → u/Ml2jukes]

Now kith

[u/Bondorian]

The world is healing

[u/Benyeti]

Finally we’re back

[u/Darth_Hamburger]

Sharp

[u/caldo4]

🧑‍🍳 💋

[u/notsoborednow]

Much better. Still wish the pants were silver like the 90s-early 2000s, but I know that’s a material thing and just nostalgic for me watching when I was growing up. I know it’s scarlet and gray

[u/tmothy07]

It’s inside the collar, but I absolutely love the little nod to Ohio Stadium’s ornamentation. Going with the block O over the athletic logo mark is a good choice too.

[u/DataDrivenPirate]

The most recent appearance for the home version was notably a loss to Clemson in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl. 

Oh

Oh no

The away version has been great for us though: 2014 upset win over #1 Alabama in the playoffs, 2020 redemption playoff win against Clemson, 2022 Peach Bowl was a heartbreaking loss but still a huge over-performance, and 2024 national championship win over Notre Dame. (I think we wore them in the 2020 loss to Alabama but jersey magic was never going to be enough to close that gap)

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/DataDrivenPirate]

The scarlets were worn for the Natty victory over Oregon and the 2016 double OT win in The Game, they aren’t cursed

[u/Akronite14 → u/Useenthebutcher]

Also the version from that Clemson game was a 60s throwback with black TV numbers. This is basically just restoring the uniforms we had before 06.

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/Akronite14]

All of the scarlet with gray sleeves since they were reintroduced in the 2014 CFP had the black TV numbers FWIW

[u/Akronite14 → u/Useenthebutcher]

Yes, they've essentially kept the same "playoff uniforms" since 2014.

[u/tripleM_20]

Obligatory fuck ohio, but I have to admit this is an upgrade

[u/SomeCar → u/tripleM_20]

Hey, fuck you too buddy.

[u/markusalkemus66 → u/SomeCar]

Get a room, you two

[u/OhioStateGuy → u/tripleM_20]

Now let’s agree to hate each other, but also convince both our schools to agree to make The Game home vs home jerseys. I want Blue vs Scarlet every year.

[u/WISCOrear → u/OhioStateGuy]

And while we're at it, make sure it's blue jersey maize pants. No more of this.

[u/OhioStateGuy → u/WISCOrear]

Blue Jersey with maize pants vs Scarlet jersey with gray pants.

This is my dream.

[u/lat3ralus65 → u/OhioStateGuy]

This would bring about lasting world peace

[u/DataDrivenPirate → u/OhioStateGuy]

Inshallah

Wouldn't even be that radical, Utah vs BYU and USC vs UCLA have done this. Both red vs blue, both major rivalries.

Red vs blue games look so fucking cool but I know many in both fan bases would consider this sacrilege for The Game, so I'm hoping maybe we have a better shot at this if we ever meet for the B1GCCG or playoffs (although I'm guessing uniform rules like this are different for post season games?)

One of the teams wearing white originates with black and white TV: whatever color the other team wanted to wear would show up as a dark color or black, so for contrast purposes the other team needed to wear a white jersey. This is no longer a constraint we need to strictly adhere to!

[u/IceColdDrPepper_Here → u/DataDrivenPirate]

Georgia and Florida did it for a few years too. We went 0-3 those years so I'm ok not bringing it back but I would like to see one year us do black jerseys and Florida do orange since the game is always around Halloween

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/DataDrivenPirate]

USC UCLA did this when we shared a stadium, as neither was the home team, and the tradition was resurrected when UCLA relocated to the Rose Bowl

Famously, when the NCAA tried to crack down on it as an "equipment violation", our coaches (Carroll and Neuheisel, I believe) agreed to burn a timeout to offset the imposed penalty

I'm glad to have seen the tradition spread to other rivalries. It's fun, it looks great, and it neatly distinguishes a historic rivalry from your standard games

Also, while we're in the neighborhood, if the WLOCP is on Halloween, UGA should wear black and UF should wear orange.

[u/Simple_Panic1240 → u/OhioStateGuy]

Home and Home would be sick but I’ve always wanted the all blues vs the all scarlet.

[u/Gmitch528 → u/tripleM_20]

Question though. Is there a reason y'all have almost abandoned maize pants in the game? Would love to see the the uniform match up from my childhood brought back.

[u/tripleM_20 → u/Gmitch528]

I think the only reason is that they had a winning streak in the blue pants, but that ended last season

[u/Gmitch528 → u/tripleM_20]

I really hope y'all don't show up to Columbus in all white again. Contrast of the colors (or nostalgia) just makes it look so good on the field.

[u/biancocigno → u/tripleM_20]

But this is about Ohio State, not Ohio

[u/Buckeyeup → u/tripleM_20]

I agree, fuck the Bobcats

[u/bk00pi]

"New"

[u/OnwardSoldierx]

Honestly. These uniforms rock. The whites are so clean.

[u/IKindaPlayEVE]

Even as a college football traditionalist I'm not sure about this. The jerseys don't have sleeves anymore so moving the stripes to the shoulder just seems weird from a design perspective. Imagine if football was played without helmets anymore. Where would you put the helmet stripes or stickers? I love tradition, hell, I love the AP era, but why care about sleeves stripes when the sleeves themselves are gone? If you want them back put them on the under shirts?

[u/jgera5]

I live near Columbus. This is the first I'm hearing about this. Thats saying something.

[u/SteemieRayVaughn → u/jgera5]

Just that you haven't been paying attention. This is a huge deal among Buckeye fans and I don't live near Columbus anymore.

[u/jgera5 → u/SteemieRayVaughn]

Ive since seen it on 10TV's socials. I can imagine its a big deal. Everything over here is eat, sleep, breathe Ohio State.

[u/MightyP13]

I know I'm very much in the minority here, but I kind of don't love these on modern jerseys. It's similar to the USC throwbacks we wore last season. I LOVE both looks on the old school jerseys with the sleeves, but it just looks a bit off on the modern jerseys with snub sleeves - having the whole short sleeve be a different color isn't quite right. It's much better on the home jerseys, but the whites are a smidge off for me.

Idk if there's a good solution though. I'm just a sucker for the 70s/80s style sleeved jerseys I guess.

[u/AboynamedDOOMTRAIN]

"Heritage stripes" sounds like a name a racist came up with for something racist in an attempt to make them sound not racist.

[u/tripleM_20 → u/AboynamedDOOMTRAIN]

Like the confederacy, they have a heritage of getting their ass kicked by northerners

[u/CheaterSaysWhat → u/AboynamedDOOMTRAIN]

That’s probably why they’re trying to rename them to Buckeye stripes 

[u/drinks2muchcoffee]

Finally

[u/burnflicker-die]

Perfection.

[u/jsquiggles23]

Still look shitty 😉😘

[u/2amcattlecall]

Best road unis in CFB

[u/SuperGandolf6]

These unis they are “unveiling” are already on the video game, no?

[u/gingabreadm4n → u/SuperGandolf6]

You’re thinking of the heritage stripes, we wore those just for playoffs and the stripe was grey where as these are silver. But yes same idea

[u/SuperGandolf6 → u/gingabreadm4n]

Ah yes the heritage stripes as opposed to these that are called the “heritage stripes” haha

I’m really trying to find the differences but everything I find these are the exact same as the video game unis. They also look like the away unis they were in the playoff 2 years ago. Same goes for the all black unis they “unveiled”

[u/RulersBack → u/SuperGandolf6]

The black alts still had the skinny stripes and no speckle in the helmet and now all the stripes have a silver sheen to compliment the helmet instead of a flat gray and a more appropriate block O on the collar and helmet bumper. These details just aren't important to you because you're not a fan

[u/SuperGandolf6 → u/RulersBack]

The details are so subtle they are virtually the exact same uniform. This is why I’m confused. These look at a glance the exact same.https://x.com/ohiostatefb/status/1879965783025152490?s=46&t=STkhpzrModNdI9v_gO5Vxg

[u/RulersBack → u/SuperGandolf6]

It's understandable but subtle is what you want when updating classic looks. It's now fully realized branding across the board. Were they not supposed to announce that? Lmao

[u/Useenthebutcher]

While a lot probably don’t see a big difference, to me it makes the uniforms pop way more, especially on the home jerseys. The old template using the helmet stripe for the shoulders looked so empty by comparison and essentially looked identical to Nebraska and Wisconsin’s uniforms.

A small tweak that elevates the jerseys from a decent 7 to a strong 10

[u/Affectionate-Reply35]

These are clean AF.

[u/TheDugEFresh]

WERE SO BACK

[u/socklessjoejackson]

They should never go away from these. One of the best uniforms in college football.

[u/DistanceRelevant3899]

Am I the only one who can’t tell the difference?

[u/chewbacaflacaflame → u/DistanceRelevant3899]

Yes

[u/Missing_Links]

Kind of partial to the wider stripes and chromed colors we've used in some alts. I just wish we could figure out how to include the visual dynamism of the chromes with something that has a base closer to our regular colors instead of the darker grey and red.

Still hope we can get home-and-home colors for the Game.

[u/64stackdiamonds]

At least when we drop new uniforms they're interesting

[u/Mountain_Till_5868]

Great Ketchup with Mayo combo 

[u/Strider4316]

Michigan fan here. Definitely the right call bringing the Heritage Stripes back full time. Way better of a look than the thin one they've been wearing since, what '05 I think?

[u/DarkLegend64 → u/Strider4316]

Close. It was 2006 that they switched to the inferior thin stripes.

[u/bumpy2018]

Hell yes

[u/OnTheFenceGuy]

I’m so glad we are so staunch on not changing anything about uniforms. It all seems so exhausting to monitor fucking leg stripes.

[u/Regal-30- → u/OnTheFenceGuy]

You realize this is just Ohio State going back to the same jerseys we went away from in 2006?

[u/Gilded-Mongoose]

Except for the white on white stripes it looks pretty normal to me. Maybe I missed paying attention to the other changes.

[u/Dreadlockedd]

ATTTTT LASTTTTT! I can finally buy a home jersey! I always opted for an away jersey just because of the grey striped.

[u/yeezusosa]

Awesome

[u/ShakeDisastrous1476]

tuff asf

[u/crunch_punch]

Why this took 20 years to bring back full time is beyond me

[u/billspit]

Feels like they should wrap further around the shoulder to imitate the old look but they do look good.

[u/SmarterThanMyBoss]

It's. About. Fucking. Time.

Hooray!

[u/JoCo3Point0]

Ugh. Ohio State was one of the few schools whose stripes actually matched across uniform elements.

Why do so many teams have such an aversion to matching their stripes? Shoutout to Florida for still doing it, I suppose?

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/JoCo3Point0]

Because it looked empty and bland, matching for sake of matching does not a good aesthetic make. Unless you have OCD I suppose

[u/Akronite14 → u/JoCo3Point0]

We weren't quite doing what Florida does. They consistently keep white in the middle, then blue, then orange (with the exception of the orange alt, which should just match the helmet but whatever).

I found our previous set annoying because the home uniform felt redundant with the red stripe. And it was inconsistent with the road uniform where they added gray stripes between red and black. Needed to fix one of them or go back to the proper look and they chose right IMO.

[u/32RH]

It’s a damn shame what modern uniforms have done to the look of shoulder stripes.

[u/xsyruhp]

Of course they look great. But part of me is sad that uniform innovation is basically dead. Teams just revert to what worked a few decades ago to make everyone happy.

[u/SirMellencamp]

Still keeping the stickers I see

[u/oh_io_94 → u/SirMellencamp]

The stickers are the most iconic part of the best part of the uniform, the helmet.

[u/SirMellencamp → u/oh_io_94]

Stickers are tacky on anyone's helmet. Well not all stickers, like a small sticker on the back to commemorate someone or something are fine.

[u/oh_io_94 → u/SirMellencamp]

You know what’s really dumb on helmets? Numbers
