Pro combats are out. Looks like Ohio State got the leftovers from Georgia's unis. The helmet is terrible. They also gave Michigan state a Notre Dame makeover. SMH. So bad.

OSU 1961.

Ok so I get the helmets now... I like the oversized numbers, but hate the rest of the jerseys and pants... Why didn't they just copy the above?

Also not sure why Ohio State got the real tree camo under the jersey and on the gloves... wtf is supposed to be on them?

This is by far the worst look Nike has come up with for Ohio State. I understand that there will be a faction of fans out there that love them and will go out and buy them, which will bring in more money for the university, but I think these are simply awful. It amazes me how Nike could hit a home run with Oregon's and Boise State's jerseys, and then give us a dud like this.

I saw a comment about how the under shirt has "half-sleeves." They then followed it with "that's just what Ohio State needs." :)

Recycled Georgia unis...terrible. Definitely need the "O" on the gloves.

Michigan State's are bad too, I agree. Another reason Nike sucks.

I think that was one of those fluke things that happened. I don't see it repeating...to anyone. Ever. Again.

I wouldn't be surprised if OSU asked to have different gloves this year so they wouldn't run into the same problem they had last year.

Ohio State is the only team out of the new releases (Army, Navy, OSU, Stanford, and Michigan State) to not have their logo/brand on the palm of the gloves. That's a joke.

I don't remember if Boise or Oregon had them...my guess would be that they did.

As some have already said, I wouldn't be surprised if Ohio State asked not to have the block O on the gloves because of what happened last year.

The wood design comes from Buckeye Grove.

The helmets are nice. The rest..........not a fan.

I like LSU's especially the tiger eyes on the gloves. MSU's look like South Florida. I like OSU's jersey but I don't get the fascination at Nike with that huge helmet stripe. It looked dumb on Georgia and looks dumb now. Stanford is bleh. Army and Navy are both sharp and didn't really change too much which is a good thing.

Oregon does...and apparently it was going to be a problem, but now it isn't.....sometimes.

Yeah I wouldn't expect Navy to go that route but the helmets are pretty sweet.

Ahh I'd never seen pictures of old OSU helmets. It's a bit more defensible now although I still don't like it. I prefer OSU's current helmet.
