The Ohio State Buckeyes debuted some new uniforms in their huge matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday, and Twitter wasn’t too impressed.
It’s not going well for the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes in the early going of the titanic clash with the No. 2 Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon in Columbus, and their new uniforms are likely to blame.
Ohio State announced it would be wearing grey alternate uniforms with scarlet helmets and LeBron cletes for its biggest game of the year. A national audience was not impressed, as nobody on the internet seems to have anything to say about the new jerseys.
Penn State apparently isn’t a fan either, as the Nittany Lions are crushing Ohio State five minutes in. Saquon Barkley ran the opening kick back for a touchdown, and Penn State extended the lead to 14-0 moments later following a Buckeyes fumble.

Naturally, that has led to even more jokes about the uniforms. Here are the best Twitter reactions to the jerseys, which will likely be retired after today.
To recap: Ohio State promoted a black out, during a day game, wearing gray uniforms and handed out scarlet towels.

Ohio State has one of the best uniforms in college football. Why would you take the field looking like this?

Ohio State uniforms today are beyond ugly. It’s like they’re black and white TV in the middle of my high def color TV.

ME, 2009: Ohio State can wear dumb uniforms once a year. Can it just not be against Michigan?

Expect the Buckeyes to switch back to their classic uniforms next week at Iowa.
