You last saw these uniforms the final week of September during Ohio State's 31-24 win over Wisconsin. One month later, they're coming back. But this time there's a catch. According to Rivals' Andrew Holleran, the Buckeyes will also wear pink gloves and socks, and coaches will wear polo shirts with pink Ohio State logos to promote Breast Cancer awareness.
Ohio State "should" be wearing its alternate rivalry uniform Saturday, a source tells me. Pink gloves, socks will be worn by players.

Ohio State has not confirmed the report.
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes take on Penn State under the lights in Ohio Stadium at 8 p.m. Saturday.
[UPDATE: 10/22 10:54 a.m.]
Ohio State spokesman confirms coaches will wear white polos with pink OSU logos this Saturday. Did not confirm rivalry uniforms, though.
