Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

Nike never runs out of epic failure.

depending how its done, they could look pretty cool imo, I love Army's camo jersey

Yes, because camo is a core tradition for Army. It will look absurd on a buckeye uniform.

And another thing, in WWII our boys wore Olive Green, not a print camo (although, truth be told, there was limited use of camo prints in the USMC in the Pacific). If true, there is literally nothing about this design that sounds good.

So we really can't have a post from a players facebook album in here?

Florida: Alligator-skin motif used in the jersey numbers, pant, gloves and footwear inspired by menacing Gator mascot.

Can't you just save the picture to your desktop then upload it here?

Albert is one of the best mascots in college sports.

I just hope the helmets aren't touched, but have a feeling they will be all messed up

If the camo does not show (since it is on the undershirt), and they actually make a real throwback and not another nike creation packaged deceitfully as one, then I'll be alright with it.

Unfortunately, we've seen how reliable Nike is when it comes to mixing things up, and not in a good way.

I'm guessing they will have an ace of spades rubber-banded to the top of the facemask.

It was used briefly in the European theater as well but was discontinued over fears of confusion with German troops wearing camo patterns.

Either way I'd be willing to bet that the chosen pattern doesn't have anything in common with the duck pattern used in WWII.

that could make for a lot of red if they make the helmet red as well

michigan is the team that needs the camo advantage not us

If you read what was posted the unis were done with a former buckeye player from the team.
