Scarlet & Gray (Part II)
Remember my blog post last week about Ohio State's new uniforms? Well apparently the minor alterations to the football jerseys are NOT going over well with angry Buckeye fans. In fact as ESPN reports, Buckeye fans uniformly disdain jersey changes.
As the ESPN article points out, Ohio State has a contract with Nike. As we all know, Nike is in the business of selling jerseys, and a new style probably means more sales. I don't see OSU fans pulling back support for the football team, but the outcry from the Buckeye faithful in Columbus is getting louder. In a day when most professional teams alter their jerseys every 5 or so years, this could be an interesting story to keep tabs on.
