It's official: Despite being the lower seed, Ohio State will wear scarlet in the national title game. The jerseys feature black shoulder numbers, which is an ode to OSU's 1968 title-winning team. Much like the Sugar Bowl renditions, these jerseys should satisfy traditionalists and new schoolers alike:
