Around the beginning of last November, I had a mild conniption over at my other blog after finding out that Ohio State was going to participate in Nike’s marketing/sales scams, otherwise known as the throwback uniform. And they were going to do it for the Michigan game.
As I have stated before, I may have overreacted a bit. Ohio State won the game without too much trouble, and maybe with the exception of the socks, I kind of liked the unis. And my guess would be that the university and Nike made a bundle selling replica jerseys.
So, naturally, we’re going to do it again.
As was the case a year ago, Eleven Warriors seems to be first to dig up a picture of the 2010 Nike Pro Combat uniforms. I don’t know if this pic is accurate yet, but 11W nailed it last November, and I have no reason to doubt that they did it again.
What do I think? It’s still unnecessary. I’m still a little annoyed that we have to do it for the Michigan game, especially when we’re on the brink of making some pretty significant changes to the structure of the conference that could disrupt all the traditions associated with the Team Up North even further.
But. No conniptions this time. Hell, I might even buy one of those suckers myself.
