Nike Pro Combat Uniforms 2011: LSU, Ohio State Among Final Teams Released

The Ohio State Buckeyes are among the teams getting some Nike Pro Combat uniforms for this season. To be completely honest...they’re not the greatest. They’re not atrocious, but compared to some of the other Pro Combat uniforms that Nike has done for college football teams, they just don’t quite stack up. First, let’s take a look at the uniform.

I can’t be alone in liking the shads of red and pewter on the normal Ohio State uniforms a little better than this. It’s okay, but it’s not an improvement on the regular uniform. It might be possible to convince me otherwise, but I can take or leave this one. The helmet, though? We’re going to have problems.

It’s tough to have any complaints about these uniforms. There’s no odd color scheme, they didn’t mess with the school’s normal colors, and the uniform is subtle and simple without being incredibly boring. All in all, it’s very well done. The shoes, though? Those might be a bit more polarizing.

Love the shoes? Hate the shoes? I can’t decide. I don’t think they’re mediocre. Maybe I’m just not a gold fan? These should probably spark some argument. Check out the entire photo album on Nike Football’s facebook page.
