Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

[Crump's brother]

I'm okay with alternate uniforms, occasionally, so long as they resemble the school's colors. The crap Oregon does with a different costume each week, that may or may not contain school colors, would piss me off if tOSU did it.

Amen.

It sounded like they kept saying the Transylvania football team, yet they were wearing Penn jerseys... at any rate, those crazy Ivy leaguers

I love alternate jerseys, as do players... and if the former players approve of them, that's all that matters. Beating TSUN's ass is amazing regardless of uniform, but in the last 3 years the only loss was in the traditional uni.

because I get eyesores when I watch highlights of the 2010 mich game

and we're 2-0 actually

Our oponents are 0-3 when we wear alternate Jersey's.

Never understood the bitching on these boards about alternate uniforms. If it makes the game more memorable and enjoyable for the players I'm all for it. Football is a game, a sport. It's for fun and enjoyment.

Not to mention the Bucks are 3-0 while wearing alternates.

When I think back on those past games, I don't remember the jerseys we wore. I remember the big plays and the score.

Rumor is they can't produce jerseys because they are behind in production for the NFL jerseys

FFS!!!! 75.00 for a damn sweatshirt?!?


Looks nice but no way in hell I'm paying that much.

Buy it for 29.99 in 3 months. The shelf life for tOSU gear is short.

A Buckeye image/memory that I cherish is Ohio State helmets completely filled with Buckeye leaves.

Alternate unis, especially when worn at the end of the year, take that away and that is what I like least about them.

I was at the Buckeye Room at Tuttle and I looked at the shirt that has the helmet on it. I realized that facemask was not black, it's gray.

This.

That's strangely what made Pryor so effective. He was 6'6, so his incredibly long stride made his sprint look like a morning jog. Imagine how confusing that would look to you as a defender. It's incredibly hard to pursue that.

I saw that also..picked one up and the facemask is a dark shade of gray on the shirt

I'm a bit disappointed we haven't yet gotten any more info on this.

Despite my constant kvetching on the subject I agree in principal with both of these points.

1. No more than once a year.
2. Keep the damn things away from The Game.

With one further condition...

3. Ohio State is a high profile school and there is absolutely no reason that it should be forced to wear alternates that are little more than a slightly modified version of the generic Nike 'theme' for each season.

Also, regarding my issues with the shoulder stripes on the regular jersey. My disdain for the current stripe is primarily limited to the home jersey. It looks generic against the red background. Bring back the traditional grey stripes for home. Conversely the red/helmet/pant stripe does look a bit better against the white background, so feel free to keep it on the away uniform if you so desire.
