Back In Black: Buckeyes Make Nebraska Blackout Official

Friday, the Ohio State football program made official one of the worst-kept secrets in Columbus: they will wear black alternate jerseys for their November 3 game against Nebraska.

The uniforms are similar to the ones they wore against Penn State in 2015 for the Blackout Game pictured at the top of the page.

And just like the 2015 PSU game, Ohio State is asking fans to come dressed in black as well.

Of course that game kicked off at night, giving the Horseshoe a dark, sinister appearance.

Thanks to Nebraska’s 1-6 record and the Buckeyes’ 49-20 drubbing at Purdue, this year’s game will be a noon kickoff.

That means the scene around the Horseshoe might suggest less “badass late night rock concert” and more “respectful public memorial service.”

If you’re looking to come dressed appropriately for such an occasion, the school will sell replica versions of the jersey for $134.99 starting on October 29, according to Andrew Lind. A tweet sent on Friday evening indicated they might be available immediately.

You can watch the full unveiling video for the uniforms below, as well as see detailed shots of the jerseys as the Buckeyes will wear them as well as the retail versions.
