When it comes to uniforms, nobody does it as well as the Oregon Ducks. Over the years, they have been the No. 1 innovator in the sport when it comes to what they wear on Saturdays, breaking out new combinations every weekend, every year.
We've seen some others try to encroach on the space, though, and sometimes with great success. While a program like the Ohio State Buckeyes is known for its traditionalism, wearing the same, time-tested uniforms each and every week, they sometimes go to alternates for special occasions.
Could that special occasion be against the Ducks this coming season?
On Monday, the Buckeyes announced that they will wear their new "tunnel vision" all-black uniforms this year, with black helmets, black tops, black pants, and black shoes. Of course, it is expected that these jerseys would be worn for a home game, and likely one of the biggest of the year.
Looking at Ohio State's schedule, that means it will likely come against the Oregon Ducks. Here's the Buckeyes' home slate:
- Ball State Cardinals
- Kent State Golden Eagles
- Illinois Fighting Illini
- Maryland Terrapins
- Oregon Ducks
- Northwestern Wildcats
- Michigan Wolverines
The only two reasonable options on that list are Oregon and Michigan, and you have to believe that the Buckeyes will go with their traditional home uniforms for their rivalry game against the Wolverines.
Now the major question is easy: What will the Ducks wear to counter this black-out?
