Go back to the over-sized numbers if you're going to change the uni's:

The 80s unis had sleeves like today - no gray, which is also when JT was an assistant in Columbus - but big numbers on the shoulders like the 90s. The pants were actually gray, not see-thru off-white or sparkling silver, too.

So, what are the chances these coincide with all-maize unis to complete the Morgantown North colonization?

There was chatter a few months back (nevadabuck) about throwbacks for The Game. I thought 1928 would be pretty interesting. Of course, if Nike did throwbacks, they'd probably use 1906, except all the players would cut off one sleeve.

I know for a fact our team would be stoked as hell to wear some new, special-occasion jerseys. Look, I just love the buckeyes. I don't care if they are wearing shit brown, as long as they are out fighting, supporting the O-H then I'm happy.
If we went out there with some special type of uni, our team would rock whomever we are playing, although I see us doing that regardless.

I don't know what it is, but that black looks damn good on the scarlet.

A report from old fartville: I loved the buckeye uniforms from the early to mid fifties, gray pants, gray helmet with a single scarlet stripe. The home jerseys were scarlet with the same gray/black/white stripes on the sleeves that were on the pre-Rutgers/Cincinnati jerseys of 07 to now, matched up with knee sox that followed the same color/striping. The away jerseys were white, scarlet numbers and gray/scarlet/black stripes that ran from the neck to the shoulder, like epaulets.

Then they went to the old style/new helmets with the huge red section and Penn State type jerseys with minimal striping. UGH.

The 67 - 69 unis seem to me to be an homage to the uniforms worn in the glory days of Hayes teams 53 - 58, the years when the Buckeyes became a perennial challenger for the National Championship as well as the Big 10, the only real difference being the move to the silver helmet and the addition of the buckeye leaves.

The current uniform offers pink/gray pants and red and black jerseys. It gets even worse in cold weather when they wear white "long johns" in lieu of knee sox.

I think it worth noting that the last NC was won with scarlet and GRAY stripes on the Jerseys and I wouldn't object to going back to a gray helmet with a scarlet stripe ala alabama/penn state.

Snort, grumble, fart, scratch, cough, mumble, mumble...

I can appreciate the nostalgia that you undoubtedly feel for that time period. Along those lines, the current helmets are all I've ever known, and I think they are a thing of beauty. They are the one part of the uniform that I never want to see changed. I like seeing photos of the great players and knowing what time of the season the picture was taken just by how many buckeye leaves are on their helmets. Growing up, my brothers and I thought it was such a noteworthy achievement (worth announcing to the rest of the room) when a player's buckeye leaves filled one side of the helmet and began on the other side.

Watch out for the 66 red helmet special. I just hope they don't ever go back to the wide red stripe/padding helmet.

:lol: My little brother is 9 years old and anytime we watch an OSU game he always talks about buckeye leaves on the helmet too.
