Ohio State To Wear Pink

[DelayedPenalty]

very fitting!

Totally AGREE w/ that statement!!!

I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but I was looking through the custom Mcfarlanes in your sig and have to ask, who's Cal Ripkin? And Jason Veritek?

They were created for past clients... Is that what your meaning? The Jason Veritek is a July 4th special Catchers equipment version... The Cal well, it's the salute to his baseball career...

He's pointing out your misspellings of their names.

VAritek, and RipkEn

Yeah, those are absolutely fantastic, no doubt. But with all of your attention to detail, how do you misspell their names?

Pink is a real man's color and should be used by more teams. If only the Hitmen still did it.

I'm all for Breast Cancer awareness but don't see the need for this. There are plenty of other ways to promote a charity then to mess with a teams uniforms.

They need to get more creative because this seems too lazy to me. Have the announcers promote the event throughout the game, have the endzones painted pink, or maybe even pink accents on the field, just leave the uniforms alone. There's no need to mess with the uniforms. It creates a slippery slope of changes in the future. Are they going to put yellow accents on the uniforms for Live Strong foundation? What about Aqua for Tsunami relief? Or whatever color they use for Haiti? Where does it stop?

at Pink and breast cancer. They aren't doing this randomly. They're doing it because of Stephanie Speilman's death. Her battle with cancer was heavily publicized in Columbus. Unless someone else close to the program dies of a disease then I don't think we're going to see more uniform changes to benefit research.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are doing it "randomly". I know why they're doing it. I'm merely saying that I don't agree with this kind of tribute. There's other ways to do it. The NFL did it without messing with the uniforms. Again, I'm not saying that honoring Breast Cancer is bad. I'm just saying there are much better ways to do it then to alter the uniforms.

they are changing the uniforms so that they can sell the uniform after the game to raise some more money for the breast cancer charity

Still doesn't validate the alteration. The unis could still be sold as is for the same cause.

How nice that one of the pics shows Boren... NOW that is fitting! haha

I think they should have done grey with then instead of the black though. Any word on whether they will include the pink somehow with the pants or helmet? Not a large part but I was thinking in the stripes somewhere maybe.

but people are still more likely to buy them if they are out of the ordinary or a one time thing which makes them seem more rare. if they didnt change them and people bought them, it would be no different then owning a game worn osu jersey.

We obviously agree to disagree, because I think they would buy the jersey. I've seen it happen with plenty of other charity events and causes over the years where they didn't alter major parts of the jersey but still successfully sold them at auction. But needless to say I think we might be beating a dead horse with this discussion. Doesn't seem we'll get any further with it to be honest.

So those 'practice' jerseys above ended up being the gamers.

Nothing special to look at, but for a good cause, so no complaints here.
