Bien. Bien chiludo.
Sooo... seeing them in person for the game, I'll just say that I didn't care for the all black unis.

I stand with BN27, even though I prefer the current scarlet jerseys. If they liked the change, then i like ir.

^ this ^. Since 1968 the jerseys have had the same block font for numbers (with the only thing changing was the larger size in the 90s), and one of two versions of shoulder striping. The pants have been virtually unchanged, gray (albeit some variations in shades) with black/white/scarlet side striping, which varied slightly in width. The helmet has also been essentially unchanged since 1968, shiny gray/sliver with the same black/white/scarlet striping down he middle as on the pants. Today, while we were watching a segment on JT being named the starter for this week and which showed some highlight from the PSU game, one of my co-workers commented that we looked just like Oregon State in those black uniforms.

Ohio against the world.
The Ohio State University still exists, even after wearing black uniforms. The players still represented Ohio State and came down the tunnel and ran onto the field with Buckeye leaves on their helmets. The band still came down the ramp, performed Script Ohio and played Hang on Sloopy after the 3rd quarter. O-h-i-o circled the stadium. They sang the alma mater after the game while the victory bell rang and I walked out through the Grove.
The uniform isn't bigger than the program or the University either.

These uniforms were an abomination. I mean really, who wears a black Uniform without chrome. This is why we will never be as good as Oregon

But the uniform is a black mark on our history and tradition.
Pun definitely intended.

In other words, quite recently.
We real old-timers go way further back than that.
My opinion doesn't matter because I'm old (40 something), so you're opinion really doesn't matter because you're really old (90 something)!!!
We should have made Ped State wear some kind of alternates. You think our in-fighting is bad? The Pedophiles' heads would have exploded (big win for everyone). FAX!
Fuck those black uniforms, seriously. Ugly as fuck. Red Buckeye leaves? They're either black or green. Tradition.
But the whole thing ranks right up there with whose BBQ is better. I ain't picky enough to turn down some baddass BBQ. I'm gonna eat it...
The more important issue here, to me, is (fuck Nike), is it possible to bring back an American Textile Industry, even if only in part? The "Official NCAA/NFL" footballs are still made here in the USA last I heard (similar production process I'm guessing, and much less volume). People paying this much money for an official jersey, it makes me wonder how it can't be profitable stateside. I'd feel much better about all this if we had Americans making these hideous jerseys. They wouldn't be quite as hideous to me.
Really just trying to say 'Fuck Nike and their child labor". I know, they don't use child labor. Its all a myth. Colonel Nguyen assures us they are getting fair pay...
TL;DR
Fuck Nike

One question about this colonel any relation to Dat?My opinion doesn't matter because I'm old (40 something), so you're opinion really doesn't matter because you're really old (90 something)!!!

That's a pretty paternalistic point of view. The people currently pushing the brand to it's highest point in recent years can't have an opinion on uniforms?
