Just because some of us think it's silly for Ohio State to do what 500 high schools and several college football teams starving for attention have done - wear all black uniforms, like it's soooooo original - doesn't mean we're resistant to change. Some people lost their minds when JT got rid of the grey stripes on the sleeves - I wasn't one of them. All he did was replicate the 1980s jerseys. He didn't produce a uniform that looked like another school, nor did he jump in on the tail end of a fad.

Ohio State leads. It doesn't follow. At least it didn't until last weekend. Thanks, Nike.

You assume they were following high schools for attention. That seems like a mistake.

Ridiculous. Equipment changes made for player safety are embraced by nearly all. Aesthetic changes are another matter. I happen to think watching the Buckeyes wear black uniforms today is like suffering through the Stones' trend-driven disco album Some Girls.

Bad analogy. The Stones changed their actual product and you didn't like it. That's a reason to dislike something. Ohio State changed the color of the fabric they wore for one game while they didn't change who they are or what they do at all, despite what people on here want to think.

Disagree, the Stones tried to enhance the the marketability of their product by responding to a popular trend. They were still the Stones and no doubt they did not intend to permanently perform that style. The Buckeyes are trying to enhance the marketability of their product otherwise they wouldn't change uniforms.

They changed the music they played. Ohio State didn't change the football they played.

All branches of the U.S. military have changed the look of the uniforms over the last few years. Shame on the Buckeyes for looking a little different one game this season. As I said earlier: "THEY LOOKED MARVELOUS!!"

Are you fucking kidding me? My G-d do you come up with some lame ass fallacious arguments.
You're entitled to thinking they looked good and some agree with you. Some don't. Get over it. :shake:
