From Eleven Warriors:
The uniforms will be on Nike's Vapor Untouchable template, which the team switched to for last year's 1916 throwback uniforms last season and has worn since the Fiesta Bowl.The numbers have a sublimated design, though it's unclear at this time what exactly it is. Similarly, Florida unveiled an alternate uniform on Monday night with a sublimated gator skin pattern.
In conjunction with their official apparel provider, Nike, the Buckeyes have typically worn alternate jerseys once per season dating back to the 2009 campaign. This year, however, will mark the first time Ohio State has worn a gray alternate, providing a brief diversion from its typical home scarlet and away white jerseys
