Scarlet and Gray

Professional sports teams can barely make it 5 years without changing uniforms. Recently the Ohio State Buckeyes joined in on the jersey altering fun. The scarlet and gray have removed the gray stripes from their jerseys... something that would probably have a bigger effect on their nickname if they didn't wear gray uniform pants both at home and on the road.

Other small adjustments to the new and improved OSU uniforms are that the numbers have been moved from the top of the shoulder pads to the sleeve, and the jerseys will be more form fitting, especially around the arms.

Call it a slow news day in Columbus if you will, but this is actually a somewhat surprising move for a team that is usually so bound to tradition. Of course, as you can see from the jersey held up by Coach Tressel, that these changes are very minor. I doubt Ohio State fans will even raise an eyebrow when watching the Buckeyes on Saturdays this fall.
