The predictable "it's in the fight song" reply.

Better start up the next round of belly aching over the fact that "that team" has actually gotten the ball, despite direct orders to never let that happen.

And the predictable disingenuous reply.

We both know that at no point in your life have you ever referred to Ohio State's colors as anything but Scarlet & Gray until it recently became important to win a semantics battle.

The University link you provided itself points out that Scarlet & Gray are the colors by which Ohio State is known and that the others are there only to enhance the same.

You already know the answer & playing dumb doesn't help your case. It's a historical anomaly forced on all schools due to the demands of television.

And we both know that, since almost every team has black and white in their color schemes, it's never listed as a school color in any fight song or chant.

I imagine back in 1890 something when somebody decided that teams need to wear something in stark contrast to colors like red, orange, or blue....and that something turned out to be white....there were hoards of fans stomping up and down saying white wasn't in their color scheme. Eventually they got over it.

Show me somewhere that says OSU branding has 4 colors, but if you're talking strictly athletics, it's only these 2.

White jerseys are worn by all college teams regardless of their school colors. This goes back to the days of black and white photography and early television to be able to easily differentiate between two teams.

I don't recall see black ever being a part of the football uniforms of any of these teams:

Penn State
Michigan
Michigan State
USC
Texas
Alabama
Oklahoma
Wisconsin (except for the shadow of the "W" logo)

And these are teams I just thought of off the top of my head in about 15 seconds...

Why would we know that as it is unlikely to be true?

Stanford
TSUN
Sparty
UCLA
Auburn
Oklahoma
USC
WVU
Florida
ND

...and for shits & giggles:

Oregon

Grabbed ten well known schools where black is not one of the known official colors, out of them only one (Stanford) has black listed as anything but a secondary, tertiary or complementary color.

That being said a school's branding guidelines are not the same thing as it's official colors.

As stated in the link you provided:

Scarlet and gray in combination are as well known as our name. They are our signature colors by which our audiences identify us as Ohio State.

That link doesn't say the athletic colors are only scarlet and gray.

And now we know that your issue isn't that a non-OSU athletic color is being used, it's that you don't think the reason is good enough. Interesting.

How do you go through life being that stupid? Seriously. The school fucking colors are scarlet and gray. Period. Branding uses palette colors for trimming and accent.

If black is one of the colors as you claim, where is it?

On every helmet we've worn since 1957.

But now we're back to being offended that it's not an "official color" (even though it is)?

Clearly somebody agrees, or we wouldn't be wearing black jerseys in 2 weeks.

"Somebody" made the decision not because they suddenly came to the realization that black is a school color, but rather to appease those that want us to follow the current fad in college football of everyone having black jerseys...

BuckeyeNation27 said:
But I honestly want to know what your issue is. That black isn't a school color (it is), or it's not a good enough reason to wear black (for Nike to make money).

No issues. Black, or white, isn't a school color. As for Nike making money off black jerseys, I'm pretty sure that if Meyer wanted to he could tell Nike to fuck off about them...what would Nike do, drop us?
