Uniform No. 6: Black-Black-Orange
Worn: Kansas at home
Result: Win, 70-28

Why do we always wear the best uniforms against Kansas?

This is my second favorite home uniform next to, well, you’ll see later this week (and you should be able to figure it out if you’ve been paying attention).

I think if I had to do it all over again I’d rank these guys below the B-W-B combo from the Texas game I posted yesterday but like I’ve said all along, any changes inside the top 10 would pretty much just be arguing semantics.

I don’t know if I’ve talked about it in this forum but I love the orange pants. They’re my favorite of any of the orange gear OSU wears (by far). They make a lot of appearances in my top 10.

Plus I think this is a really unique look. The problem with unique looks is that they’re often like caricatures of what you meant for them to be so for OSU to be able to pull off an understated unique look is fantastic.

Also, this was one of the five coolest images from that season.
