So put this in the category of being in the eye of the beholder, and a fun thing to debate. According to an article by 247Sports, the Ohio State football uniforms are the second best in college football. And while many like the road ensemble, it’s the home version that gets the nod here.
Here’s what Brad Crawford says about how the Buckeyes look when playing in front of the home fans.
Another nod to tradition, Ohio State’s silver helmets with with the black, white and scarlet stripe and leaf decals is top-shelf. Buckeyes fans have gotten used to Nike’s uniform takeover of the Michigan game in recent years with a plethora of alternate uniforms saved for the biggest contest of the season. Ohio State’s traditional scarlet and grey is a delight, but the recent infatuation with Nike’s envelope-pushing secondary options in Columbus keeps viewers guessing on gamedays against nationally-ranked opponents. That strange all-black get up in 2015 vs. Penn State reappeared last fall vs. Nebraska, but fans are split on the look. One of the Buckeyes’ most daring alternates in the past decade was the all-gray getup last season which featured a wolf-fur pattern on the helmet, numerals and cleats.
We can’t say we disagree here. But who’s No. 1 according to 247Sports? It’s the purple and gold of the LSU Tigers. By the way, if you’re looking for the Maize and Blue of Michigan, those uniforms came in at No. 3, just below the OSU threads.
Once again, Ohio State finishes on top of Michigan. Where have we heard that before?
