Sometimes I think schools can get too caught up in their uniform and not pay attention to why they are wearing the uniform (see Oregon '03-'06). But I could do with a new uni instead of the white ones.

I prefer white uniforms. I find it pretty annoying when neither team is wearing white. Gray is not a home-team color. Light blue is not a home-team color. Yellow is not a home-team color.

Just my opinion, but I think that the primary color of the home team should be white.

The Ohio State LeBrons!:
We?ve seen the Jordan Jumpman brand on the likes of college basketball players on Cincinnati, but - until now - we haven?t seen that LeBron logo show up anywhere. But we have confirmation that when the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team takes the floor at the Big Ten Tournament on March 9 in Chicago, they will be wearing new uniforms. Retailing sources tell CNBC that Ohio State is permanently replacing its swoosh with LeBron James ?LBJ23 logo.? Nike will be selling this new gear to coincide with the change. I?m not completely sold on this move, though if any team is going to make sense it?s probably this one. James obviously played his high school ball in Ohio (Akron) and plays in the state with the Cavaliers today.

Could Nike be suggesting" what certain teams should wear?

More like mandating. They have to sell in order to pay. What better way than to hook up Lebron with tOSU.

As long as our uniforms never look like anything oregon has or does wear... I could care less. Oregons uniforms are always so fugly.

Their turf is the problem, not their football jerseys. Their bball uniforms are pretty standard.

I like our new uniforms. Most people don't but they are something different. Different is good.

Nike apparently can't afford decent graphic designers? Good luck having anyone associate that monstrosity with their products.

Weird. I find that pretty stupid. This must be another way to get Golden Boy LeBron James more exposure and money through Nike.

Whatever brings more love for OSU I am all for it.
