Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

[THEWOOD]

Don't know if this is real... hope its not.

Inside scoop on alternate jersey for OSU vs Mich 09..supposed... on Twitpic

I am pretty sure that those jerseys are already being displayed at the Niketown here in Chicago. At least they were when the season started. I dont think you can buy them. They were just on the mannequins with all the NikePro gear. I think it was just an "advertisement". But yes they look even worse in person.

Shelly Poe's statement (via the O-Zone) fits in perfetly with the rumor of a white throwback from the Horvath era:

"I believe we are wearing white jerseys at Michigan and at Penn State."

It looks like a prototype mock up to me. Probably not the finished project.

for some reason that doesn't make me feel any better.

This statement also fits in perfectly that there are no truth to the rumors/plans. Aren't our current away jerseys white?

Press release from OSU

Ohio State Football Uniform Statement
[FONT=&quot]One-time homage to be paid to 1954 national champions[/FONT]

COLUMBUS, Ohio – [FONT=&quot]A statement from Ohio State director of athletics Gene Smith:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“During spring, 2009, Ohio State was invited by Nike to participate in its Rivalry uniform program with several other universities from around the nation. They offered us a chance to try a new uniform product featuring cutting-edge fabrics and technology; participation in the program also offered us a one-time opportunity to salute one of those great championship teams that have built the Ohio State football tradition.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“Our coaches and players were excited to see the different elements Nike presented in the prototype designs and samples. The uniform elements are still in production, and we are extremely eager to see the finished product when it arrives. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“For this special program, we chose to recognize the achievements of our undefeated 1954 national championship team, winning the Big Ten title outright before capturing a Rose Bowl victory. These great Buckeyes celebrated their 55th anniversary with us at the Minnesota game, and this is another way for us to pay homage to their stellar achievements.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“Our fans will be able to get the first look at these unique uniforms on Sunday, Nov. 15, when we will share photos of the finished product on our website OhioStateBuckeyes.com. Fans can also take a look at the actual uniform up close that week in our official Team Shop in the Schottenstein Center. And our team will wear these custom designs when the Buckeyes take the field Nov. 21 up north in Ann Arbor.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“Again, this is a one-time opportunity to honor a great championship team. We have no plans to make any changes to the traditional Buckeye uniform for the foreseeable future.”[/FONT]

Keep in mind, ESPN ruined the surprise here :p

With all due respect to the 1954 team, this is a horrible idea.

 

[jwinslow]

It might be the worst possible throwback other than the overalls.

 

[buxfan4life]

So the away version of these?

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

The helmet is white, right?

I like the idea, but the product is what worries me.

So the away version of these?

The page of former jerseys posted a few pages ago showed the '54 away jersey having shoulder stripes. I could see it looking good, but knowing Nike it'll look like crap.
