Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

Meanwhile back in the studio ...

Sad that 66% of Buckeye fans are morons with no appreciation for tradition.

 

[Saw31]

Our alternates have been pretty ugly. This was the most hideous thing I have ever seen. And then there's wifey over there telling me how much she loved it. I almost filed, just sayin'. If we would have lost, another broken family...

 

[mendensa]

I would like competence. I've learned never to expect it.
This would have looked great if they were going black.

Instead they went for the 8 years after it went out of style monotone black look.
Yay lazy generic money grab.

I have always loved this mock up the best of all the black alternatives.

 

[mendensa]

I didn't mind the all black but the red names were difficult to decipher on the back of the jerseys. The black matt helmets looked pretty nice too.

Can the rest of the anti-black crowd check in so we know the jersey's didn't sneak into your houses before the game and slaughter you like you feared?

You ever read the debriefings on 11W? You know how they always have a section for "The moment Buckeye Football disgraced your family"? This week all it's going to say is how they walked onto the field in those black and red monstrosities.

 

[BUCKYLE]

If the pro pro combat Nike bros could check in and tell us how Phil Knight ass taste. Just kidding we don't want to know.

They spelled Braxton's name wrong. B. MILER was on the field before the game. Somehow they got it fixed before the kickoff.

 

[MaxBuck]

Didn't much care for the look when the team first took the field.

Liked the look of the scoreboard when the team left the field. So it worked out OK.

 

[Dryden]

The cats out of the bag with a four TD win over Penn St. Once you go black, you never go back.

 

[Jake]

Deal with it you crusty old traditionalist fucks.

I'm guessing the under 25 demographic came in at 100% and about 90% for the under 30 crowd.

Damn kids. Now get off my lawn!

 

[LitlBuck]

I was an advocate of the black uniforms but once I saw them on the field I did not like them. I am not that big of a traditionalist so it probably has to do with my age

My neighbors watched the rest of the game after the Hawaii game was over, and their first comment was "Why are they wearing black?" After explaining that Ohio State caved into the recent fad of virtually everyone wearing a black alternate uniform, they then made comments about "Where's the gray?" and "It would look better with those silver pants and helmets". Even my local Hawaiian neighbors knew better than some on this board...

I think it helped energized the crowd in the stadium. I agree with MaxBuck, it worked out OK. They had a couple special segments on the scoreboard; a know your Buckeyes thing where they interviewed several players asking them what their favorite Halloween costume and Halloween candy was. Some of the player's comments/costume pictures were funny. Cam Johnston said that they don't celebrate Halloween in Australia...... Had we lost I doubt that we would see them again. Since we won it wouldn't surprise me if we have a Dark Night II next year (i.e. just before Halloween, 29 Oct vs NW).
