Jersey / Uniform Discussion (OSU)

I like the Nike promo pictures better than how they actually turned out.

The grey numbers with the white outline don't look right, IMO. I prefer the white numbers with grey outline. I also don't like the black font on the name tag and would prefer white font.

The helmets are absolutely horrible in my opinion. The stripe is too big, and the red chrome on the stripe makes the helmet look like a tacky Christmas ornament.

Yep.

looks like there might be buckeye leaf stickers on the helmets after all

From the link...

Finished by HGI, the King Midas of football helmets, the new Buckeyes lid takes their classically simple style ? decal-less sides and a black-outlined white-red-white triple stripe ? and adds in a few modern updates, namely ultra-reflective HydroChrome on the red stripe and a reworked ?satin silver? HydroSkin for the rest of the surface. Another home run for HGI?

King Midas of football helmets? HydroChrome. HydroSkin.

Please die.

Too much whining about this. Worry about the game!!! The PLAYERS like them. That's what matters. I see arguments from those who think the alternates should be left out of The Game, but let it go FFS.

:lol: Fuck off.

The players aren't the ones Nike is selling them to. If people would quit buying this Bullshit, Nike would quit dishonoring 109 years of tradition to make a buck. I don't get why people are fascinated by them. If I have to tell a non-buckeye fan which team's Jersey I'm wearing, why wear a fuckin' Jersey at all. Just wear a silver and green shirt and say its a tribute to some Buckeye basketball final four team that advanced to the sweet 16 on St. Patty's day that year and save yourself $75.

I don't give a shit what they're wearing so long as it's not completely and utterly terrible. I don't care for the unis this year at all but I wouldn't buy an alternative jersey regardless of how cool it was.

I'll deal with the Jerseys.. Not like I have a choice. But it does matter to me. There's a part in the HBO doc about The Game that talks about why it's so special. One of them is familiarity. It's at the same time every year (end of Nov), same stadiums for almost a hundred years, etc.... Part of that, to me, is the uniforms. Sure they've changed over the years, but not too much at once, and the leaves have been a constant since '68. As fucking ugly as they are, I think I'd be pissed if TSUN wore some "tribute"leather looking helmets to honor a time when they actually won national championships. I get why Phil Knight likes jizzing all over a rivalry he's insanely jealous of. What I don't understand is why some Buckeye fans help jerk him off.
