New Ohio State Jerseys

[1991]

at least they kept it simple, would like to have seen them keep the numbers on the shoulders. out of 10, i would give them about a 5 or 6.

They had one of the sharpest uniforms in college football.

Now they don't.

The Buckeye nation is not happy.

True downgrade.

The uniqueness of the "Buckeye Stripe", as Woody called it, was what made the unis stand out.

Sad, sad day...

Old 88-05 look was a 10 out of 10. New look, 80-87, 06 look is a 4 or 5 out of 10.

Thumbs down from this corner. For years, it seems, the Bucks have been slowly ditching the grey -- first by substituting silver and now this.

[BawlmerOreos]

Great move.

Now they match the helmet stripe pattern and the pants stripe pattern.

How is matching bad???

I even wish PSU would add a single blue stripe down the side of their pants to match their helmets.

ON WISCONSIN!

They used to. It was removed some time between 1969 and 1973.

These jerseys are about as conservative as Tressel.

They look like practice jerseys.

They also look like Nebraska. Go Big Red!!!

But now there is an even bigger problem of having grey pants, grey helmets, and havong no grey on the jersey. If they made the stripe pattern Grey-black-white-red-white-black-grey theat problem would disappear and it would still match.

That jersey is sweet!

[winghaz]

What's next? Scarlet helmets?

[HatManTC]

What's next? Scarlet helmets?

Well this OSU alum thinks those new jerseys flat out suck. Why mess with perfection? Oh wait that's right $$$$$$$. Yeah good luck selling a ton of those. Awful just awful.

okay, so based on this lineart. For all those who are in the "matching is good" camp, shouldn't the white jersey not have grey in the sleeve striping? cuz It doesn't match the red jersey, helmet and pant stripe.

IMO: I think the white jersey here looks much better than the red, that little but of grey is perfect.

For me, matching doesn't have to be the exact same striping on everything, things can still

look good together and live as a group without being an exact mirror image. Which is why I think people are reacting negatively to this change. Everything was good together as it was, by trying

to use the same exact configuration it's trying to put a square peg in a round hole. I

ll say it again, the jelmet and pant stripe only looks good on a silver or grey ground. It looks incomplete on anything else, don't force it.

Example, try taking the Steelers sleeve stripe and putting that on the helmet and pants.

In your mind it sounds iike a good idea, it's consistent. But when you do it, it just starts getting

forced and overkill. Which is why the steelres look so good, everything looks great together without being exactly the same.

They are pretty boring. Looking more like UGA is certainly not a good thing. I've seen high schools and pee wee teams with better unis.

But, ont he good side, it isnt a piping and panels extravaganza like most new Nikes jerseys are. Thats a good thing.

I agree that the white jersey looks better here, and it always has, in my opinion. I think the grey should appear on the stripes on the scarlet jersey as well, even though I advocate matching stripes. I advocate the stripes matching in style, not necesarily the exact configuration, color, and everything to a T. And for the record, no, I wouldn't put the Steelers sleeve stripes on the helmet, but I would definitely put a single gold stripe on the sleeves. Looks great on Vanderbilt.

[BawlmerOreos]

I stand corrected.

If the line-art is the real deal, than the matching argument doesn't work.

Ohio State screwed up.

Go Nittany Lions!

What it looks like to me is that this Nike template may not have been able to contain the old design.

The shortness and cut of the sleeve panels don't look like they could hold the old big numbers. And the big stripes usually covered about all of the old sleeve. Here, on the back side, the stripes would have to stop at a weird angle, again, due to the cut of the panels.

There are a ton of templates for jerseys, but I have to wonder if OSU picked this one for performance, then had to adapt their look.

Just a thought. Could be wrong.

[DG_ThenNowForever]

Whither the humongous OSU numbers?

[nugent4president]

My heart is broken...

you know buckeye fans, they will eat this s**t up. And I bet you most of them won't even notice or care. That's the way people are when subtle changes like this are made because people are stupid. I own a craig krenzel white jersey and a micheal doss scarlet jersey and from what it looks like I will have to wear them for a while until they hopefully change back because I don't like these uni's at all. I've always associated that striping pattern with Earl Bruce and teams of a standard lower than Ohio State and the return to the gray stripes as the return to greatness. They also look like the Tampa Bay Bandits once again.
