Buckeyes reveal uniforms for national title matchup vs. Notre Dame
COLUMBUS — Ohio State has revealed its white uniforms for the national championship matchup vs. Notre Dame.
As the road team, the Buckeyes will be wearing white jerseys with a 2025 championship patch on the shoulder plate. But they’re breaking out the gray sleeves and the full “1968 Diamond Quest Nike Swoosh” jersey and pants combination for the national title game.
Ohio State hasn’t worn these jerseys since the 2022 Peach Bowl semifinal loss to Georgia.
The Buckeyes are 2-3 in these uniforms all-time, first wearing them against Alabama in the 2015 Sugar Bowl — a 42-35 upset win in the semifinal round of the first-ever four-team College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes went on to beat Oregon in the national championship a few days later. Ohio State also beat Oregon in the 2020 Sugar Bowl semifinal against Clemson while wearing this jersey and pants combo.
The program beat Oregon in the 2015 national championship win while wearing the scarlet edition of these uniforms.
Ohio State has lost to Clemson in the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, Alabama in the 2020 national title game and Georgia in the 2022 Peach Bowl with this uniform combination on.
This won’t be the first time this season or postseason Ohio State will wear an alternate uniform. The Buckeyes beat Iowa back on Oct. 5 while wearing the all-gray look.
