The Ohio State Buckeyes will wear the same Nike 'Rivalry' uniforms on Saturday against Wisconsin that they wore during last year's 26-21 victory over Michigan, according to the latest reports out of Columbus.
The uniforms pay homage to the Buckeyes unis worn during their 1968 National Championship season, and Urban Meyer himself acknowledged it was very likely the rivalry uniforms would return this weekend.
“The feedback from the rivalry game last year was incredible, not just from our players and recruits, but from Buckeye greats of old,” Meyer said. “So there’s a good chance we’ll be wearing them.”
The Rivalry uniforms feature:
- Scarlet jerseys with large gray numbers on front and back of the jersey and most noticeably on the shoulder pads;
- Names in black on the back;
- Gray pants with wider piping down the sides;
- Black stripe around the jersey sleeves;
- Seven Buckeye leaves along the back collar and a Block “O” on the front collar; and
- Wider scarlet, white and black stripe on a dull chrome helmet.
Ohio State is 4-0 when wearing rivalry uniforms since they began the tradition in 2009, with two wins over Michigan, one over Ohio, and one over Wisconsin in that time span.
