I thought it was interesting that Woody changed the jerseys and then won a national championship, I was not aware of that. I can't believe so many people got their panties in a bunch over stripes on a sleeve, but it is the off-season, I guess.
The new jerseys are cool by me

I'm in the kitchen cooking up something special son....I'll give you a little taste. We call it "Catch of the day........with extra tarter sauce". Good luck picking that one apart.......cause lightning is going to strike...you don't know when.....but you can bet it will.
Monster blitz has went by the wayside...........modification, I hope your taking notes. Hence the reason that General Glen Mason picked my brain over a cold glass of Fresca.

No sir...
On another note, did anyone carefully read Ken Gordon’s article posted by osugrad21? Mr. Gordon wrote: "Ohio State switched to gray pants that incorporated the fabric for the 2005 season — they were the same color, only shinier."
Really?
I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m “inspired” by Mr. Gordon’s reporting. Even more “impressive” is the fact that ESPN.com lazily posted a rehash stating the same inaccuracy: “<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:PlaceName>Ohio</st1:PlaceName><st1:PlaceType>State</st1:PlaceType></ST1:p's uniform pants were slightly shinier last season, thanks to a new fabric.”
Thank God we have journalists around to check all the facts and present an "accurate" picture. They truly protect us from ourselves.

Ohio State fans upset over lack of grey in new jerseys
Jim Tressel unveils Ohio State's new jersey, which includes two white and black stripes on each arm, but no gray.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- When it comes to their favorite team's football jerseys, there is no gray area for Ohio State fans.
The Buckeyes will wear a new design of Nike jersey this fall that features a shinier fabric that wicks away moisture.
When the new jersey was unveiled, fans of the scarlet-and-gray clad Buckeyes immediately lit up the lines to sports call-in shows -- the new tops have no gray on them.
School officials said a slimmer, formfitting design didn't leave room for any gray. The two white stripes on each sleeve are set off by black stripes -- but no gray.
In letters to the editor and an Internet poll on its Web site, The Columbus Dispatch has been besieged by fans upset by the new jerseys.
"Exclude Buckeyes gray: ridiculous. Now we look like the [Wisconsin]Badgers," wrote a fan from Florida.
Another accused Ohio State President Karen Holbrook and athletic director Gene Smith of selling out the university.
Ohio State has a six-year, $11.4-million contract with Nike, which provides uniforms and equipment for the school's athletic teams.
The players say they like the new material and seem bewildered that fans are angry over the color controversy. After all, the team's pants and helmets remain predominantly gray.
The football team has changed uniform styles and designs frequently over the years. Changes have come under each of the past four head coaches -- Woody Hayes, Earle Bruce, John Cooper and Jim Tressel.
Bruce said the current controversy was overblown.
"I don't know that jerseys ever lost a football game," he said.

I can see where it is possibly a good thing... I mean, a lot of schools change their unis and no one gives a crap. OSU does and the fan base goes ballistic. I guess that says we "care more" although, it really makes no difference in the "big scope" of things.

I think the new jersey's will look great with a darker grey "shinier" pants and helmets. Just looking at the jersey by itself, it is i-ight. But when you put the helmets and pants on look out!

I think Snapp said it best, "We don't have to change our jersey to increase sales."
Quick question, with a ton of people saying this is Nike trying to make more money.. what % does nike pull in, the school, and the athletic department off of jersey sales?

blissfully stupid
noone is selling out to nike and this won't be the last alteration to the uni under tressel's reign. we just switched to a completely new uni fabric which is what drove this change. im sure the stripping will be looked at in the years to come. the decision probably went a little like this: tressel, "this one looks pretty good and is in line with uni's tOSU has used in the past. we'll use this one to see how it holds up. we can always go back and revisit the design, but in the short term we have to eliminate the jersey's being a hinderance to our guys."
i gotta say, with the spring game now days away and a completely rebuilt from just above the foundation up (the d-line). if our biggest conscern is stripping on the uniform... im thinkin tressel is due for another raise!!!
i see nothing wrong with that... :p
while i strongly dislike the new uni and think it should be altered to the pre 06 look as much as possible. my objections pail in the light of others it seems :p.
