  Speaker 1: Welcome to Buckeyes tomorrow morning for Wednesday, May thirteenth, I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, tom Or the ball State game in one
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen days, the game against Michigan in one
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine days. Yes, we are under two
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: hundred days until the game. Our friends, A Grateful Gritle
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Columbus is favorite food truck there now on Uber each,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: scrub Hub, and or Dash you search for Grateful Griddle
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: there or check out Grateful griddleoh dot com for more.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: When you do a daily show around Ohio State football,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you end up talking about a whole lot of different stuff.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We talk recruiting, we talk scheme, we talk about the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: transfer portal, we talk about all that stuff. Today we
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: are talking uniforms. That is not something we talk about
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a lot, but Ohio State released a new set of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: uniforms on Monday. They're called Tunnel Vision, which you don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: normally associate with something good, but that is something that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Ohio State fans have seemed to respond pretty well to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and welcoming and our buddy, Tony Gerdaman of bucke Huddle
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: dot com. Tony, I guess let's start by describing these uniforms.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: They're black. We know that that's sort of the table stakes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: But you know, there there is the return of a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: much beloved former Ohio state uniform element that is apparently
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: going to be coming back into the rotation a little
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: bit more this year.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the shoulder stripes, the gray shoulder stripes, which I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: believe they call the heritage stripes, And maybe if you
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: just keep them, you can just call them the stripes
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and go from there. I know people always clamor for these,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and when they'd show up randomly for a bowl game
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: or whatever, people be excited. I have stripe blindness. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: have name blindness, and I have stripe blindness. Like I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: really could never understand what people were talking about if
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: you put them side by side. Sure, if you put
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: them all on the lineup, I don't know that I'm
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: gonna get right. If you've give me like five different
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: different stripes and be like, show us the heritage stripes,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I'd like to think I could, but I couldn't guarantee it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So I don't know why you're having me on this show,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: but it is. I'm glad when this was an easy thing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: This is something people have been asking for for a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: long time. And when they get it randomly once a
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: year or whatever, it's like, why can't you keep this?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: This is such an easy win for Ohio State to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: do this, and it may sell some jerseys, who knows,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it could sell some apparel, and I believe these will
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: go on sale to the public in July. So, of course,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: as Ohio State is looking like every other program is
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: looking to make some money, give the people what they
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: want and they might buy it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Well, And it's not just the program making money that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: used to be the sort of you know, back when
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it was we're selling the number four jerseys, but that's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: just it's just the number four. There's not any reason
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: for that. It's just the number four. Who could say
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: why Now you can put Jeremiah Smith's name on the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: back of it, and Jeremiah Smith can get a cut
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of that as well. So that's a way to, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: slide a little bit of extra money from the fan
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: base to the more popular players on the team. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: by changing your look, you allow them to you give
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the everyone an excuse to go buy another because we look,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to wear last season's jersey. That would
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be like white wearing white after labor day that you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: can't do that, and they they changed. This is the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: just if you're wondering what the heritage stripe looks like,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the heritage stripe is the stripes that have the gray
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on the shoulders, because they in two thousand and what
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: six changed to the you know current or recent look
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: where these stripes on the shoulders matched these stripes on
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the helmet and it was black and white and red
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and that was it and no more gray the gray stripes.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: That sort of if you grew up watching Ohio State
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: football in the nineties, that's what you think of as
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: this is what Ohio State football jerseys look like. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't know why they ever changed it. If you grew
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: up in the eighties, it ended up that's it looks
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like the Howlett stripe. Look it just kind of you
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: go back and if you go back to like nineteen
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: sixty eight, well they're back in the gray stripes. So
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: there's a certain amount of this which is just what
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: did you grow up watching Ohio State in and what
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: do you think of Ohio State as you know that's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: what you you know, This is this is what Ohio
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: State jerseys look like. Why did they change it? And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's telling to me a little bit. First of all,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that the change from the gray stripes to the helmet
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: stripe look on the jerseys happened when Jim Tressel was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the head coach, Because when did Jim Tressel start at
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Ohio State or in the Earl Bruce era when they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: were wearing the helmet stripe kind of things. When did
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Urban Meyer start at Ohio State the next coach, Well,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that was when he was in the nineteen eighties under
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Earl Bruce, when they were in the helmet stripe things.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So Ryan Day, now, you know, I don't know that
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Ryan d Ryan Day started at Ohio State under the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the the helmet stripe sort of sleeves. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I think you have plenty of, plenty of dollar related
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: reasons to make this change. And there are indications this
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is nothing, nothing final yet Supposedly there may be news
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: coming on this shortly, but that this may not be
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the only jersey where they are making this change this year.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, seems like it's going to be just the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: regular jersey. The the jerseys that they wear every game
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: will have their hair stripes. Didn't They have them in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the spring game as well? Is that, am I?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, he said, with a great deal of certainty in
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: his voice.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, it looks like somebody else has stripe blindness as well.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not the only one that suffers from
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: this terrible, terrible malady. But I remember people talking about
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it then and like, okay, if you say so, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: am I correct? In that time? Was there also gray
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: in the stripes in the springing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: After perusing my photo gallery, Yes, they did, in fact
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: have these the nineteen nineties style gray stripes on the sleeve.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So yess.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, like, I'm a person that my
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: music progression almost stopped after like ninety something like as
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you get out of college, like you just mentioned, you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: prefer what you what you you know, grew up with.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Same with music, you just prefer this. And it's like, well,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: movies are better in my day. TV was better in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: my day. I'm like, no, it wasn't. Go watch go
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: watch Dukes of Hazard right now. Tell me if it
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was better, then what you tell Tell me? Dukes of
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Hazard is better than breaking bread, breaking bad. You can't
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: do it, and this, you know, But apparently people think
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the he the heritage tripes are breaking bad back in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the nineties and I was there as well, and I
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: didn't mind the jerseys. Now, Tom, if we're going to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: bring back these, I think the next step. If you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: want to make people happy and give them what they
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: grew up watching, neck.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Rolls, Yeah, neck rolls, big shoulder pads. Yeah, I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that that's you know, if you want to do a throwback,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: let's do a throwback. Let's not mess around with this.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do this. Do this all the way.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And and you could put sponsors on the neck roll.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: They could be Safe Auto back there on your neck roll.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's like right below, right above the name. I've got ideas, Ross,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: give me a call, You've got my number. I can
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: we can do. I know they don't want the black
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: visors out there anymore, but you can go back to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the black visors and you know how to pick up trucks.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: People will have all of these you know things painted
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: on the pickup chucks, but you can still see through
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the back window. Do that with advisors. Again, I'm not
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: saying safe Auto there, but I mean it's on the glass.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It would be a pretty good advertisement.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, that would the real real possibilities. Yes, if you're
