Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

[swopes6]

They look much better with a bigger pic, I have to say. Like the shoes. Hate the helmets. The one on the left does not look like The Ohio State University is fielding a team.
​

Agreed on all counts. The gloves look pretty sweet too. I like the white uni's.

Maybe I'm just one of those crazy kids who likes bucking tradition, but the black jerseys look bad-ass.

I think they look cool as fuck, but it looks nothing like an OSU jersey. I hate that about them and that's the most important thing.

There is no way that that is the real design, it's a pretty obvious photoshop job

We won't see the real unis for quite some time. It wouldn't surprise me if they went with some sort of all gray theme though to clash with the red of wiscy (which will end up looking metallic and not very much like an OSU uni)

 

[Bucknut24]

i think it's the real design, but I have a feeling the picture is a in a black and white format to hide the color design

 

[muffler dragon]

I realize it's semantics, but is there any chance that the "black" is actually like a Steel Gray or something that actually remotely harkens to an Ohio State color?

 

[BUCKYLE]

put me in the group of if it gets the players pumped and they like it, then i'm all for it, they could be blue for all I care, if it gets those players much more excited for a game and ready to knock some heads off, so be it

If the players need different uni's to get pumped for fucking Wisconsin or TSUN, then we need new players, not new uni's.

Those are fucking disgusting. There's no way those are it. Even tho I didn't like the pro combat bullshit, they at least looked professional. Those look like I made them in mspaint while drunk at the age of six.

Are they kidding? What a trainwreck.

That helmet is laughably bad, and the jersey bears no resemblance to OSU, nor hardly any scarlet at all.

The OSU uniform lends itself perfectly to a black uniform. It spits on tradition, but it is very strong visually with a bold set of helmet stripes, particularly the scarlet, with a very complimentary silver helmet and pants to go with it. It would be a lot like Georgia.

I doubt thats real

Back to what's really important - ESPN Page 2 has an excellent discussion of Virginia Tech's important new work in helmet safety.

Virginia Tech Helmet Study

I'm hoping tOSU gets rid of any Riddell VSR4s they may have sitting around. Maybe let TP have 'em for signing and selling.

I may be forgetting someone, but having just reviewed all of the equipment to edit the NCAA 12 video game roster, I don't think anyone uses the old school Riddell's any more.

Those that don't use the very different Revo Speed & Revolution helmets (with their funky facemasks) use the Air XP helmets (Jordan Hall, Dominic Clarke).

 

[jwinslow]

I doubt thats real

Now getting a look on my monitor instead of the phone, that's clearly photoshopped.

Look at the main logo in the middle. There are sloppy left over sections of white/gray inside of the letters and between them.

The angle of the Ohio State logos are pretty obviously photoshopped (and not curved with the shape of the objects).

Bucking tradition? Why follow college football then?

 

[BB73]

Those look like I made them in mspaint while drunk at the age of six.

I'm calling Bullshit! There was no mspaint when you were six.

The black looks sweet...but is not our school color. If we had some standing tradition of switching jersey color once a year (ND's green jerseys...and they always lose when wearing them), I would be ok with it. Otherwise, I'm sure they can find a bad ass design for a scarlet and gray jersey.
