I think getting the shocker should have been the first clue.

Ohio State, as expected, is moving to the Vapor Untouchable template next year. 

Any changes to the striping expected or just the template change?

I would hope OSU will exclusively use the throwback sleeve stripes. No more of the stripes that match the helmet and pants. Helmet and pants are fine as is but not everything needs to match. Also, while I liked the black numbers on the red jersey as a throwback thing, I'd prefer they just return to white shoulder numbers for their permanent set.

They'll probably keep their current four uniforms and release an alternate for the Penn State game.

Keep the current set at their primary uniforms.  "Big game" or "Prime Time" uniforms are the throw backs, just make the TV numbers black on the white, as well as the red jersey.  Have 1 throw back or look ahead uniform to the quality of this last years or the black out uniforms.

 

Ohio State has one of the best uniforms sets, top to bottom, in all of sports.

IMO, the primary set and the throwback set with the classic stripes are too darn similar to justify both. I'd pick one and the classic stripes are superior in every way. Nothing wrong with the primaries, they'd be fine for another team. But just knowing the classic stripes are so ingrained in the OSU history, I'd pick them in a heartbeat.

I would agree.  I love seeing the gray on the sleeves.  But I think they set a precedent and when a precedent works so well, its hard to abandon it.  I wouldn't doubt that within the next 5 years, we see these flip.  The 60 uniforms become the primary and the current set become the "prime time" uniforms

Whenever I see Nike's ginormous collars it reminds me of Meteor Man from Birdman & The Galaxy Trio:

So uhhhh, Carolina looks to be making the switch to Jordan for their uniforms in a move that everyone predicted:

Still can't get used to seeing a basketball player icon on football uniforms or fields. Weird.

I think the Jordan logo is just for spring football.  The ACC logo will probably replace it during the season.

it will be the acc logo on the field during the season, but his point still stands.

[henburg 1,655]

those jumpan logos are MASSIVE, looks to be almost the same size as the main logo. 

[pianoknight 2,991]

The Jumpman logo is beyond stupid on anything that's not basketball. I can't wait until Nike signs a hockey team and slaps that thing on the ice.

Here's confirmation.

I really hope their uniforms stay the same. They're practically perfect now. Maybe streamline them since the helmet argyle is within a stripe and the jersey and pants aren't but that would be about it.

North Carolina wouldn't make the mistake of a drastic change again, would they?

[MJWalker45 6,033]

They've got a good look now. I think they'd be stupid as hell to change now. 

[walkerws 548]

Yup. Time for a hold my beer meme

I'm not too concerned for now considering that the Jordan brand's work with Michigan gives them a 1/1 track record of keeping solid clasic brands intact.
