It is well known that Ohio State football fans are some of the most passionate in all of college football. The devotion runs deep, and it doesn't take much to ignite that passion into something outsiders just don't understand. I mean, one game can make or break an entire year for Buckeye Nation.
One topic of conversation that leaves no middle ground is the game-day uniform. There are not many things more polarizing than alternate looks and stripes on the sleeves. We even ranked the Buckeyes' alternate uniforms several years ago, and fans were not shy about sharing their thoughts. Now it looks like Nike is going to give OSU fans something to talk about real soon. Social media teased a possible uniform tweak on the official Ohio State Football X (formerly Twitter) account.
A cryptic post that was shared depicting a shadowy picture of a player in uniform, but all we see is a silhouette. The only clue given is a date of "5.11.26" and a time of 6:14 p.m., making it seem like a reveal of some sort will happen at that exact time. We love the creativity of the time slot, being a nod to the Central Ohio area code 614.
What could it be? A new alternate uniform? Maybe, but most fans are hoping for a switch permanently to the gray "Heritage Stripes" on the sleeves. It is a look that the Buckeyes wore prominently in the 90's and early 2000's before switching to the red, white, and black strip to match the helmet. The team has worn the heritage stripe jersey for several big games in the past decade, mostly coming in College Football Playoff games.
Who knows what the change will be, but whatever it is, you can be sure fans everywhere will have an opinion on it, good or bad.
