The front page of the team shop has a graphic of an Osu pro combat uniform. It also matches with a bunch of merchandise from Nike that has just been released.

Not sure why the hyperlink isn't working, but if you do an old-fashioned highlight, copy, and paste it should get you there.
Looks damn good. A subtle shout-out to that '02 team, with a very over-the-top visual impact. I'm more than okay with this.
I'd be okay if these replaced our current home uniforms.
If that graphic is the unform for The Game, I am happy. Not cheesy and makes full use of the school colors; aka: not black.

Those look BA. I hope those are chrome helmets. Looks like silver trim around numbers
That is a WIDE stripe on the helmet. Looks good though! The only part I'm mildly disappointed in is they added they stitched "VEE" nonsense on the neck that they seem to be doing for everyone (college and pro) this year. If you like it, fine, but its just not my cup-o-tea.
Edit: the neck is not my cup-o-tea i mean, the uni as a whole looks great!

Please let it be so.
i hope those are it, they look sweet
If that is the uni, especially #45, I'll buy that drunk or sober. Looks cool as hell.
Love them. Im sure it has been said on here but I couldnt figure out why our unis wouldnt be a salute to the '02 team since they will be on hand. makes perfect sense. And if Im not mistaken, I think that is the similiar pose and retro type unis in a pic that was above UFM shoulder during all-access.....
Follow up question: If they sell these jerseys in the store, what numbers do you think they offer/would you want to buy? I would love to get a #16 Krenzel jersey, but could also see them offering a #2, #25, #12, or #7. Think they would sell a #13?

I hope the stickers make the transition to the new helmet. Nothing like having a covered helmet full of stickers for the AACC game......
Great find OP. Love them, and I wonder if OSU jumped the gun on this (superseding Nike's announcement). Not that I care; they look bad ass.
@O-H KEE PA - That looks like a Nike ad showing in the OSU pro shop. I'm betting that Nike (rightly) knows that only hardcore fans are going to notice this; and though the blogosphere will catch on, most fans won't notice or won't connect the dots until they're really revealed during the Michigan game.
Those are sweet! Better that our actual home unis imho, though I do hope we get some Buckeye leaves on them
subtle yet satisfying...would love to get a better look at the helmet though
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
I want old school, big Buckeye Leaves, like from the seventies, to match that thicker stripe.
in summary: bigger tv numbers, thicker stripe on the helmet, grey outline in the main numbers, truncated pant stripe, modified gray shoulder stripe, black facemasks.
not crazy about the SUPER thick helmet stripe or the black facemask, but, all in all, not bad.
i like the gray trim around the numbers. It's a nice subtle touch. I also wouldn't be too upset if these became the standard uniform moving forward.

HELL. YEAH.
The South will NOT rise again!
I couldn't tell if the facemasks were black or if it just looked darker from the lighting, thanks for clearing it up
Are they going to unveil them next Monday?
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Anyone know when these will be hitting the market? I love those gloves!
Pay It Forward!
great find I wonder if they're gonna sell them before the game
3-0 in those uni's, cannot wait to see them on the field. Hopefully there wont be any condensation issues!
Pay It Forward!
Wow. If this is the real thing then these are the best ones yet. They dont really look like a reference to 2002 though. They really just seem to emphasize the buckeye stripe and have a futuristic touch. I think what makes this better than the rest is that they didnt go overboard with the design.
Does that helmet look standard, chrome or matte to everyone else? It's not completely clear, but I'm getting a matte vibe!
Is that the image that was in the background in Coach Meyer's office during the ESPN "Total Access" series in August?
Those. R hard especially if tht helmet is chrome love them

College Traditions is already selling a shirt that has a view of the helmet from above.

chrome is great for kitchen appliances...thats about it though...glad to see the helmets look grey
just a wild guess based on the shirts that are already available... The helmets with be chrome and there will be buckeye leaves in a dark grey finish within the chrome or vice versa, helmet will be a dark matte grey and there will be chrome buckeye leaves. (Everyone's helmet will have these leaves because they won't be stickers.) Either way, I'm especially pumped to see it!
Champions Bleed Scarlet & Gray
Those do indeed look awesome!
Thanks for the link, may pick up a couple of those t's, this combat stuff is growing. This year has a hat, a hoodie and multiple shirts. TOO MUCH! The Jerseys and Gloves havent even hit yet.
Pay It Forward!
im predicting those might become our new permanant unis, and those are DEFINITELY it, nike wouldnt release a graphic of a uni that wouldnt be worn
I get Nikestore tweets via text and they released some "Rivalry" gear (hat, couple shirts and a hoody) today to go along with the uniform theme. Seems like all of the aforementioned gear has 7 buckeye leaves (7 national championships) somewhere on each item. Pretty cool touch imo. Nike makes the dopest stuff!
God damn that's a pretty f*cking good milkshake! I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty f*cking good.
-Vincent Vega
Will be nice to add that jersey to the collection of the other 3 pro combat jerseys they released in my closet.
gray outline on the numbers is a sweet touch!
I like football
Are the sleeve stripes going to be the ones prior to the '06 uniform change with gray included? I can't tell from that photo but assume that would be the case.
To be honest. When I zoom in on my phone I am seeing an exact pattern replica of what is on the legs. Black white red white black. Someone else on their iPhone zoom and confirm
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
@BOLT the stripes on the sleeves dont look like the old kind. They look like the stripe we have now just thicker.
Based on the shirts being sold I am almost positive it is a chrome helmet. I wouldnt be suprised if the gray outlining on the numbers was chrome too.
Nice t shirts, but they never make them for us big guys
Nice, I like it.
O H I O is the Buckeye State
Those look bad ass!!
You have to hate losing more than you love winning! GO BUCKS!!
I like it overall, but was never a huge fan of chrome helmets. I thought the unis for the Wisconsin game last year were hideous :( (not to mention, looked exactly like refurbished Georgia uniforms from the BSU game).
"There is a force that makes us all brothers, no one goes his way alone." --Woody Hayes
Under Ohio State's new standards since Tatoo Gate, the uniforms will be kept under lock and key for each player until their eligibility runs out.
waiting for this years...this video was BA....
Damn it feels good to be a Buckeye....
