The Buckeyes house uniform options ‘Ohio State’ throughout the chest in crimson, in an arched sample with the O, S and E being enlarged, with traces below the opposite letters. The quantity is in block textual content (bleh…), in crimson with a gray define. The jersey additionally options crimson across the collar of the jersey in addition to the arm holes.

Striping seems down each side of the jersey and continues all the best way down the shorts as nicely. The striping is black, gray, crimson, gray and black, which replicates the striping used on the Buckeye soccer helmets.

The Ohio State emblem additionally seems on the appropriate legs of the shorts.

In my opinion, I believe that the Ohio State design on the uniform is a bit busy and overstated. I a lot favor the Buckeye’s earlier design the place all of the textual content was the identical measurement. However, I’ve a fair higher thought for an improved house uniform, bu we’ll get to that in a bit.

When enjoying away from the Buckeye state, Ohio State’s uniforms are a scarlet model of their house uniforms. ‘Ohio State’ seems throughout the chest of the uniform in the identical style as the house uniform, however in white. The participant’s quantity is white as nicely, however retains the gray outlining.

The collar and arm holes includes a white border and the identical striping seems down the facet of the jersey and shorts, however in black, white, gray, white and a black.

While I’m not a fan of the house white’s for OSU, I just like the scarlet highway uniforms a bit much less. The striping on the facet of the uniform might be improved, because the inside stripes are too shut in shade to 1 one other.

Just with the house uniform, the design of the uniform is an excessive amount of and too busy and with the white design on the scarlet background, it makes it stick out extra, which amplifies the busy issue much more.

The first of Ohio State’s alternate uniforms that we are going to be looking at is their retro gray uniform.

‘Ohio State’ is listed on the entrance of the uniform, with the participant’s quantity seems between the 2 phrases. All textual content is crimson, with white define.

White and crimson traces seem on each the collar and the arm holes of the jersey after which once more on the backside of the shorts, the the 2 colours coming to a degree on the facet of the shorts, pointing on the Ohio State emblem.

I like that Ohio State has launched an alternate uniform that differs from their two house uniforms in coloration and design, however this uniform simply falls flat for me. The use of block textual content brings down the uniform and doesn’t let it’s what it may, if a unique fashion of textual content was used.

The second of Ohio State’s alternate uniforms is a scarlet uniform, that strays from the pack and as a substitute has ‘Buckeyes’ throughout the chest of the uniform in a cursive font, which is white, with a black define. The participant’s quantity nonetheless seems in a block font, in white, with a black border, however the differing fonts works on this case.

The uniform options white, gray and black stripes across the collar, in addition to the arm holes of the jersey and the identical three stripes might be discovered alongside the underside of the shorts.

Just as with their different alternate uniform, the stripes on the shorts come to a degree alongside the facet of the shorts, however as a substitute of getting the Ohio State emblem, they’ve the ‘O’ emblem.

I don’t know if it’s simply because I’m so underwhelmed by the remainder of Ohio State’s assortment of uniforms, however I really like this look. The use of cursive on the jersey actually units it other than the opposite uniforms and gives a strong possibility for Ohio State.

In my opinion, this must be their important highway uniform and a white model of it must be made as their house uniform.

Ohio State launched these uniforms final night time forward of their matchup with Wisconsin at the moment and I’m… not impressed.

Their third alternate uniform is a black model of their house and away uniforms, with crimson accents, as you possibly can see.

I’m all for colleges having alternate uniforms, however once they introduce simply one other uniform that’s only a carbon copy of their different uniforms, it simply comes off as lazy.

I’m additionally all for colleges introducing black uniforms, even when it isn’t one of many major colours of the varsity, however with this design it’s simply too busy. They can be higher off to introduce a black model that’s extra minimalist.

I’d have liked to see a black model of the Buckeye’s alternate uniforms with the cursive ‘Buckeyes’ throughout the chest.
