Pin Set Sold By Ohio State Team Shop Hints at Buckeyes Wearing All-Black Uniforms vs. Northwestern​

Ohio State may have just leaked when it will wear its all-black uniforms.

The Ohio State Team Shop is selling a 2026 Game Day Hatpin Set, which features pins for all seven of the Buckeyes’ home games. Most notably, the pin for Ohio State’s Military Appreciation Day game against Northwestern on Nov. 14 features a black helmet, suggesting Ohio State will wear its new “Tunnel Vision” uniforms when the Wildcats come to town.

Ohio State is set to wear all-black uniforms this season for the first time since 2022. The new version of the Tunnel Vision uniforms, which feature gray Buckeye Stripes, was unveiled in May as part of a coordinated rollout of Ohio State’s new uniforms for the 2026 season.
