update: A team spokesperson denied this report, but confirmed it Buckeyes Now Ohio State is encouraging fans to wear black against Wisconsin on Sept. 24 and scarlett against Iowa on Oct. 22.
As part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the 2002 U.S. Championships, multiple sources indicate Ohio State will wear nostalgic uniforms for the season opener against Notre Dame on September 3.
The uniform is nearly identical to the 1968 throwback uniform first worn during the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship victory over Oregon and most recently in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl loss to Clemson.
Gray has been included in the Buckeyes’ standard home jersey since the program put the iconic helmet stripe on its sleeves in 2006.
but, It’s the details that make this a true throwback to the 2002 seasonwhich includes an athletic logo on the collar and a white TV number on the shoulder instead of black, as opposed to the traditional block “O”.
Ohio State actually wore a road version of this uniform during their 2021 Sugar Bowl victory over Clemson and loss to Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship.
However, had the Crimson Tide lost to the Fighting Irish in the semi-finals, the Buckeyes could have worn their home version as the top team. .
This is just the first of at least three alternate uniforms for the Ohio State season. According to sources, the Buckeyes will wear an all-black uniform against Wisconsin on September 24 and a bright red “Color Rush” uniform against Iowa on October 24. twenty two.
They also have white pants at their disposal for select road games, though the source wasn’t aware of any specific plans to wear them this season.
The Buckeyes have worn throwback uniforms in each of their first four playoff appearances (2014, 2016, 2019, 2020), so assuming Ohio State makes the college football playoffs, the 2002 Throwback uniforms for 2012 may be added later in the season.
