As part of its Rivalry uniform program, Nike has designed a special uniform with cutting-edge fabrics and technologies (37 percent lighter!) to be be worn by the Buckeyes when they play Michigan, November 21, 2009. This new uniform, inspired by the 1954 National Championship team, are meant to honor Ohio State tradition and accomplishment. They were officially unveiled Monday at the Newport Music Hall for the Beat Michigan pep rally. The team will return to wearing their traditional uniforms after the game versus Michigan.

These are not the same helmets. There was no number on the 1954 helmets. We have NEVER had that. Who are we, Alabama? Why are we claiming to be traditional by breaking tradition for the biggest rivalry in football? At least there is no nameplate.NEVER?!? Try 1956-1961. I get so tired of people who don't know making statements like this.
I also have to ask, "why at the Michigan game and why at an away game period?" Who are they hoping to pump up? Hope this does not jinx us for our 6th in a row!
If you don't like them, too bad. I'm sure you're the type of fan we don't need.
almighty dollar. Be real -----save it for another day.
