Guest oldschooler Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]New jersey will have scarlet, but no gray [/b][/size] [size=3][b]Sleeves to fit tighter, bear thinner black, white and red stripes [/b][/size] Thursday, April 06, 2006 Ken Gordon THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH [img]http://www.dispatch.com/2006/04/06/jersey_200.jpg[/img] [i][b]Jim Tressel shows off the Buckeyes’ new jersey during an annual charity event.[/b] [/i] Someone shelled out $5,000 for a new-look Ohio State jersey yesterday, and the Buckeyes hope they are equally hard to get hold of this fall. The new uniform design was unveiled as part of the 15 th annual Spring Preview to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association of Central Ohio. The jersey is form-fitting, particularly around the sleeves. "I like it from a football standpoint," fullback Stan White Jr. said. "You don’t want any guys grabbing you, and the tighter the jersey the less chance they have, so it has an advantage." Smiling, White added, "And as far as your image goes, to have a brand-new jersey is an exciting thing. I think a lot of guys are excited about that." The only noticeable changes are that the stripes on the sleeves are thinner and are black, white and scarlet. The gray is gone. Also, the player’s number has moved down from the top of the shoulder pads onto the sleeves. The jersey is made of a fabric designed to wick moisture and cool the body more quickly. Tailback Erik Haw had a little fun with tradition-bound OSU making changes. "Surprisingly, Ohio State University got new jerseys, which is astonishing to me," he said. "But they look good. Still classy." After coach Jim Tressel held up the No. 1 jersey and it was signed by Tressel and former OSU coaches Earle Bruce and John Cooper, it was auctioned off to benefit charity. The selling price did not surprise White. "I’m always amazed at just how fervent our fans are," he said. The event has raised more than $1 million since Cooper started it in 1992. [b]Boone contrite [/b] Offensive tackle Alex Boone spoke for the first time about his Sunday morning drunkendriving charge. "All I can say is I apologize for letting everybody down," Boone said. "I didn’t need to do it. It was a mistake, and we’ll see how things go." He declined to comment on what happened. [b]Under the lights ?[/b] It’s not official, but Tressel indicated that OSU’s games Sept. 9 at Texas and Sept. 30 at Iowa will be played at night. OSU is 1-3 at night the past two seasons.[/quote] [url="http://www.dispatch.com/football/football.php?story=dispatch/2006/04/06/20060406-C2-03.html"]http://www.dispatch.com/football/football....0406-C2-03.html[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ONYX Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 dammitt !!!! why did they change the jerseys. It was nothing wrong with the old ones. what ever happen to tradition? Do you see Penn State changing their jersey?? The old jerseys were beautiful, but "NO", we got to live in this insecure modern pop culture "lets change our look every two years" society today. Its a bunch of flim-flam-fraggamuffin-bullshit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
