Get ready for the annual debate about Ohio State uniforms. According to a report from Andrew Lind, the Buckeyes are going to don black uniforms against Nebraska on Nov. 3rd. Lind, formerly of Eleven Warriors, is the creator of the Ohio State uniform database and has connections with the manufacturing companies.

The Buckeyes’ black alternate will be the same design as the 2015 Penn State game, but on the Vapor Untouchable template instead of the Mach Speed template. — Andrew Lind (@AndrewMLind) October 10, 2018

Wearing alternate uniforms is nothing new for Ohio State. The Buckeyes have had a different look for at least one game each year since 2009. That season, the Scarlet and Gray wore a white jersey and helmet to pay homage to the 1954 team. In 2010, Nike debuted a 1942 scarlet tops and gray bottom throwback for the Buckeyes. The following year, it was another scarlet jersey and gray tops with a wide scarlet stripe on the gray helmet that was similar to the 1961 uniforms.

Starting in 2012, Nike stopped making discernable reference to previous Scarlet and Gray teams. That year's alternates were not far off from Ohio State's normal uniforms but with black stripes on the sleeves and big gray numbers. The following season it was similarly designed alternates but the white road version. The 2014 alternate uniforms were not far off from the regular look either but will forever be remembered for their significance in the College Football Playoff as the Buckeyes went on to win the national championship. The 2015 season was the first look at an all-black uniform for the Scarlet and Gray. In 2016, Ohio State went with an alternate uniform that looked similar to the Chic Harley teams that were the first to beat Michigan and win a Big Ten Title.

Last season, the Buckeyes wore two alternate uniforms, sporting a gray and black look against Penn State and a white a black look against the Wolverines to end the regular season.

Alternate uniforms are a point of contention amount Scarlet and Gray fans. There are the traditionalist who would prefer to see Ohio State wear its scarlet jerseys and gray helmets at home and their white uniforms on the road and there are those that understand the financial side from Nike and that, to some extent, these different jerseys appeal to recruits.

One of the biggest complaints by Buckeye fans is when Ohio State wears alternate uniforms against Michigan, preferring to keep the rivalry between the traditional scarlet and gray and maize and blue. If this report is true, it does not indicate for certain that the Buckeyes won't have an alternate uniform against the Wolverines, as they did two different ones last year.

What this report, if true, could indicate is that the game against the Cornhuskers is likely to be a night game and a "blackout." Ohio State has played two night games already this season -- against TCU and Penn State -- and will face Purdue at night on Oct. 20. The game against Nebraska would be the first home night game of the year for the Scarlet and Gray.
