There are a few jerseys for sale on ebay right now. If you type in Ohio State Rival Jersey, they will come up.

The uniforms aren't bad and I don't mind the marketing behind all this at all.

However, there is a problem developing with the cleats Nike wants the team to wear. Apparently, they do nothing for ankle stability and folks are rolling their ankles when trying to wear them.

Hopefully, they say, "thanks but no thanks" to the shoes and send them back, and opt to wear their regular cleats on Saturday.

I doubt Nike will object if they do, because the last thing they want is some OSU player getting hurt in one of their new shoes and then have a huge media story about it.

I think they're pretty sweet and wouldn't mind seeing them every year.

no way I'll ever buy one of these.

I seriously hope this is the only time these are ever worn. Auction them all off for charity afterwards.

The jerseys they sell look idiotic. The game worn jersey looks fine but the sleeves look stupid on the merchandise

Any pictures of the ones you can buy? I've looked online and can't find anything really.

This is all about marketing. Making more money for OSU and Nike.
Selling their soul and tradition.
Soon many schools and I seriously hope OSU is not one of them, will be following Oregon's lead and wear a different combination of a series of uniforms every week! I have already seen TCU's and Va. Tech's versions.

I hate it!

Florida, Florida State, and Ohio State have the sweetest looking gloves I think. Those gloves are just wicked and I'll probably get a pair of the OSU ones for my Ohio State room I'm planning.

Those gloves are the sweetest gloves I've ever seen. I love almost everything they did for every team. Although a couple teams didn't have much done, like Texas.

I don't know where you can get the gloves. If they are even for sale. None of the campus stores have them.

oof....look at all those swooshes.

Each has it's own uniqueness, but it's like Nike's SOD basketball concept....same basic design, just done up with each school's colors.
