Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

FINALLY Nike didn't over-think and over-produce a design. They kept it simple. I really really like it.

Love the block O and the shade of grey used on the pants, love the simplicity of the jersey design with the numbers and the grey used on the sleeves, and I really like the simplicity of the helmet, too. Looking at the 1942-43 helmet, they REALLY could have jacked that helmet up with the white stitching and the white "bumper" surrounding the face on the helmet, but they kept it simple.

I'm actually a little excited to see this one on one of our players. Nice change of pace.

You guys crack me up.

First you yenta about like a bunch of high school girls critiquing clothing.

2nd, all we heard last year was everyone saying it wasn't a "TRUE" throwback b/c the helmet was not exact, now that they get a helmet that "may" look similar, people are bitching about it.

Remember guys, we're talking laundry.

A random conversation sometime today between a Cane and a Buckeye.

"Damn, I'm psyched to see what Nike has put together for the 'U'. I can't wait to see camo and piping on the same uni."

"(rolling eyes to himself) Yeah, that'd look great with one sleeve green and the other orange."

"Probably would. Yo, there's Michael Irvin, he knows it's still all about the 'U' - dude was the 'Playmaker' back in the '80s".

"So is the Cane Pro Combat gonna be a throwback to the '80s unis?"

"Hope so, way back then to the first glory days. Hey who's that old dude up there?"

"That's Chuck Csuri, he's a professor emeritus at Ohio State."

"Professor what? Never heard of him or that."

"He's been on the faculty over 60 years. He's the Father of Digital Art and Computer Animation. His work has been exhibited in Europe and New York, and he taught a lot of people that ended up working at Pixar and Disney."

"OK, I'm down with Up - get it? But what's an old artist doing here for the football unis?"

"Well, he played for the Buckeyes on their first National Championship team under Paul Brown."

"Under who?"

"Paul Brown, as in the Cleveland Browns. He coached them to several pro titles, including 3 NFL Championships in the days before the Super Bowl. He also founded the Bengals."

"They had pro football before there was a Super Bowl? And hey, what position did the artist play, waterboy?"

"Very funny. Csuri played tackle on both lines, and was voted team MVP for the '42 National Champs."

"No shit. Hey, I like how the camo thing honors the military."

"Well, Csuri would know something about that, too. He was voted team captain in '43, but entered the Army before the season started. Ended up being a field artilleryman, and was awarded a Bronze Star for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge."

"No shit?"

"Yeah, no shit. But hey, your guy knows something about football players wearing camo. How'd that trip to the desert at the end of '86 work out?"

I think people were pissed at Nike's thinly veiled attempt to sell the Jersey as a throwback when it was not. The comments I recall were... "if you are going to ruin a perfectly good uniform, you might as well do a real throwback." The arguments last year, for the most part, were not..."if only this were a true throwback I would be so happy that I would dance around my living room and run to the store and by 10 of them while shoving rainbows up my ass"

For the most part, people that didn't like last years "throwbacks" aren't going to like this years "tribute jersey". They are upset with the idea of not wearing our actual jersey's against our archrival Michigan because it is a gimmick. a gimmick that other schools without the tradition of Ohio State use to generate interest in their program. We do not need this gimmick so people don't like it.

Too you.

Personally, I love tOSU's uniforms just the way they are. It's a part of the program's identity. Throwing this hip-hop wannabe rap video garbage on my favorite team irritates me. It looks stupid IMO. To me, it's like when I venture out into public and see teenage boys wearing jeans that make them look like girls, or their hat all goofy or comb their hair forward. It looks stupid and makes me want to slap them...or their parents for allowing them out into public like that. Besides, this is a message board, do you really expect this to not be discussed and for people to have opinions on it?

Please explain to me how this is hip-hop wannabe rap?
