Ohio State unveils new black alternate uniforms (Photos)

Ohio State will wear black uniforms for the first time in program history when it takes on Penn State on Oct. 17 for an 8 p.m. game at Ohio Stadium.

The Buckeyes, in conjunction with Nike, unveiled the new look on Saturday morning. The black uniforms have scarlet-colored numbers that are outlined in gray along with white and scarlet-striped sleeves.
