Ohio State Buckeyes Bring Back Classic Uniforms for 2025 Season
In a move that has thrilled Ohio State football fans, the Buckeyes have announced they will be bringing back their classic throwback uniforms for the 2025 season. The iconic uniforms, which harken back to the team’s storied history, feature the familiar scarlet and gray color scheme, but with a distinct retro design that nods to the past while incorporating modern touches.
The return of these vintage jerseys, first worn by Ohio State in the 1960s and 1970s, is a part of the university’s broader efforts to honor its football legacy while continuing to push forward into the future. The new jerseys feature the classic “Block O” on the helmet, a symbol that has become synonymous with Buckeye pride. The uniform’s design is heavily influenced by the ones worn during legendary coach Woody Hayes’ era, with a clean, no-frills look that emphasizes simplicity and tradition.
The decision to reintroduce the classic uniform was driven by fan demand and the team’s desire to celebrate its rich football history. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith noted that the Buckeyes have always been about blending tradition with innovation, and these throwback uniforms provide the perfect opportunity to honor the past while keeping an eye on the future.
“We’re excited to bring back these iconic uniforms for our fans,” said head coach Ryan Day. “It’s a great way to pay homage to our history while looking ahead to the future. This is a proud program, and these uniforms symbolize everything that makes Ohio State football special.”
The Buckeyes will wear the throwback uniforms for select games during the 2024 season, including their annual rivalry matchup against Michigan. Fans can expect the uniforms to be a hit both on the field and in the stands, as the tradition of Ohio State football continues to shine.
