Ohio Stadium will have all-black everything when Wisconsin visits Columbus on Saturday.
Ohio State announced Tuesday that the football team will wear its black alternate uniforms against the Badgers in Week 4. The program has also encouraged all fans attending the game to wear black, which will create a “Black Out” environment in the Horseshoe.

The Buckeyes are 3-0 while sporting the black uniforms with wins over Penn State, 38-10, in 2015, Nebraska, 36-31, in 2018, and Michigan State, 34-10, in 2019. Ohio State is 25-7 in games wearing alternates dating back to its 21-10 win over Michigan in 2009 in Ann Arbor.
Additionally, Ohio State is 2-0 against Wisconsin while wearing alternates. The first win was a 33-29 thriller in 2011 that included Braxton Miller's game-winning touchdown pass to Devin Smith. The Buckeyes wore uniforms that honored the 1961 national championship team.
The other matchup was a 31-24 victory in Columbus in 2013, where OSU sported “Rivalry” uniforms including a chrome helmet.
