Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

I don't know what to think anymore.. Nike has fucked my emotions.

At first glance with the picture posted of just the top, I thought hell no.

Then with the helmets, pants, and gloves, I thought OK.

Now, with that picture - I think they look pretty bad ass.
That's because those aren't the pants we saw on the table. These are pretty sweet... old style stripe (eddie era), dark grey pants.

Invisible spirograph (at least from a distance).

The only unusual element of these is the helmet (which is just a mish-match throwback)



I think they look pretty good. I wish we wore them for USC instead of The Game, but oh well. I can't wait to hear the uproar when UM comes out wearing something funky, especially if they dare to go blue & white.

Sorry if someone mentioned this, but I don't see any numbers on the side of the helmets, which would make them better suited for 1954.

I don't know if you could see them from the angle, and I will reserve my judgment of the pants until we can verify that the stripe isn't a swoosh.

They were pretty big numbers.
89 is a two digit number, so unless that isn't the actual helmet, I'd say there's a good chance it's blank on the side (like it should be for 1954).

You can see virtually the entire side of the helmet.

Well, considering we have seen jerseys with and without the crap on the shoulders, pants with and without a stripe, etc. I don't know if we will know for sure until they are unveiled on the 15th.

Understatement of the year!

For something that was supposed to be ultra-super-secret ... a lot of pics have leaked out.

Maybe the intent was to "test market" the look with the early pics to get the final uniform "just right" or maybe Gene Smith's email is getting overloaded with "WTF are you doing with ______ " and he is giving some feedback -- after all, it is "THE GAME" that we're talking about.

this is beyond terrible.
they don't even remotely resemble LSU.

i don't think I have ever seen anything quite as grotesque as this.
oh, maybe I have.
here is another rumoured uni for us

I know LSU is pissed about looking like Washington.

not looking like LSU is an outrage in my book.
changing our colors completely to that of a totally different D-1 school should be punishable by death

Like the VaTech kits. I'll wait to see what exactly is out the 15, but I do like the Ohio State uni's that have been posted earlier (not those pictured below). As well as the LSU and VT color fade. The sleeves and fade from those above (VT & LSU) remind me of one of the sleeves from the TwitPic of the tOSU alternates, that were in Chicago.
