  Thoughts?
  
  I love it.

  I love them. Love the gray on the shoulder stripes!

  They are sweet. Just got one today. The only bad thing is they only have #2 so no variety of numbers.
• Altor

  I'd probably be more excited about the jerseys if they didn't try to pass them off as a tribute the the '54 National Champs.
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Well to be fair they do look similar to the '54 team.
  
  It's not like they could honestly expect a team to wear Jerseys with long sleeves like they did in the day, so this is a modern take on the classic theme. Color pattern seems to match up as well.

  The Nike swoosh looks exactly like it did in 1954.

  Used the view of the back just for comparison.

  They don't look too bad.

  I like them actually.

  I haven't heard anything about Michigan doing it.

  UM probably isn't wearing retroy - don't think they would want to participate in honoring our '54 National Team.
• hoops23

  

  Why would UM wear retro to honor our 1954 squad? Also, UM is an Adidas school
• jordo212000

  

  Terrible. Just a complete bastardization. If you are going to make a throwback, make a throwback. Don't create some silly off the wall uniform that doesn't even really look like the old one, and call it a throwback.

  This is one of 12 alternate uni's that Nike made for various universities. That's why I'm so disgusted that OSU is trying to pass this off as a "throwback." I'd be much more supportive if they'd just say, "Nike came to us with an idea to make both us and them a lot of money."
• maddmind

  i like them but not as a throwback.
  i REALLY like the helmets.
  
  where can i get the jersey??

  It's amazing the 11 other schools have joined in with OSU to have a 55 year celebration of the 1954 championship team.

  I like them. Can't wait to see them in person on Saturday!

  They are selling them.

  Ok, let's get this straight. OSU agreed to do this because Nike came to them with an idea, but it's likely that they decided they couldn't do it just for the sake of doing it, so they asked Nike to make a modern interpretation of the 1954 jersey, and I think that they did a pretty decent job of that. The only thing that bothers me is the numbers on the helmet because those weren't added until 1956.
• OneBuckeye

  

  ^ I agree, I would dismiss the number helmet error and would be happy with their "interpretation" if they put the stripes on the top of the shoulders, and did the rest of the jersey more accuratly. The jersey just bothers me to no end.
• Thunder70

  

  They look sweet. Really like the helmets...
• j_crazy

  

  I love this uniform!
  
  my favorite things:
  the helmet
  the "O" shield on the neck of the jersey
  The shoes
  the gloves
  the "O" on the pants
  
  things I don't like
  the Number on the helmet, that's alabama's thing
  black outline of the "O" on the pants and the stripes on the jersey.
  
  Great job and unlike the traditionalists on here and gaygay, I welcome change, if only this once.

  As a UM fan, I think the new unis are pretty damn cool. I think people shouldn't get their panties in a bundle about something like this.
