Ohio State Reveals 'Buckeye Stripe' Uniforms in Hype Video, Photos Ahead of 2026 CFB Season

Ohio State is making the "Buckeye Stripe" a part of its attire for the 2026 college football season.

The Buckeyes announced on Wednesday that the stripe will be on their jerseys throughout the entire upcoming season. They use the silver and white stripe on their scarlet home jerseys, and a  silver and scarlet stripe on their road white jerseys.

Ohio State has reserved the "Buckeye Stripe" for College Football Playoff games dating back to the 2014 season.

The gray stripe was at one point a staple of the Buckeyes' look, but it was removed after the 2005 season.

Its most recent appearance came during the 2025 College Football Playoff Championship Game when the Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame in their road white jerseys.

Ohio State director of football equipment Kevin Ries told Joey Kaufman of the Columbus Dispatch in December 2022 that saving the Buckeye Stripe exclusively for the College Football Playoff was a way to pay homage to previous national championship teams.

The Buckeyes will re-debut their Buckeye Stripe look in their red home jerseys when they kickoff the 2026 season against Ball State at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 5.
