Ohio State fans have a well-documented obsession with the team's gray sleeves, and the Buckeyes delivered for Saturday’s spring game.

When the team took the field for the intrasquad scrimmage, every player sported the "Heritage Stripes" — with scarlet jerseys for the offense, white for the defense and black for the quarterbacks. The look has already ignited a firestorm on X, with fans flooding the feed with reactions before the game begins.

The Heritage Stripes were last seen on a much bigger stage: Ohio State’s 2024 National Championship win over Notre Dame. That title game appearance ended a two-year hiatus for the gray sleeves, which had previously been shelved since the Buckeyes' 2022 Peach Bowl loss to Georgia.
