You're probably right, but I'm not about to go quietly into that good night. I went to the OSU Athletic Department website, looked up Gene Smith's e-mail and fired this off:

Dear Mr. Smith,
Please explain to me how white helmets and Oregon ugly jerseys and pants are "a tribute" to the 1954 National Champs. The design idea appears to be something along the lines of Flash Gordon Goes Buckeye. Let's be honest here, the only paying of tribute that this uniform pays is a tribute to Phil Knight and the corporate greed of Nike Inc.
Why, when brand identification is something most institutions strive for, is Ohio State forsaking an iconic uniform that has instant public identity?
This is clearly a case of the tail wagging the dog. The traditions of Ohio State football are being turned over to the tailor.

This thread is funny.

Half the posts are: "They're killing tradition for corporate greed! Nike is making us the Oregon of the midwest! They're disrespecting The Game etc, etc."

The other half are "Where can I get one of these? Are they sold out at ___(insert store name here)___?"

:lol:

I heard that during the rose parade they are replacing old flowers with new flowers that are stonger, and faster and will live longer. Also all stadiums will be torn down and replaced with indoor arenas, where only fans wearing official nike gear will be allow in the building.

So you want "Uniform of the Week" as your tradition?

You want the team running out there in those Va Tech/Home Depot apron jerseys?

Maybe school colors by Phil Knight: black, white, monotones are so in?

Tell me one thing about this uniform that isn't about how Nike can make more money?

Last I checked Nike and OSU are in a deal so that they can, shocker, make more money.
