Ohio State football on May 11 unveiled the return of the all-black “tunnel vision” uniforms to be worn during the 2026 season. All uniforms are decided on a game-by-game basis, and themed games for the 2026 season will be released at a later date, according to Ohio State Athletics.

The uniforms were last worn in 2022 during a 52-21 win against Wisconsin. The Buckeyes have won all four times in the uniforms, beating Michigan State in 2019, Nebraska in 2018 and Penn State in 2015. The updated black uniforms feature a “silver flake” finish on the helmet and have “Buckeye Stripe” metallic silver sleeves.

The first time wearing an alternate jersey was in 2009 against Michigan. The Buckeyes won 21-10.

Ohio State has not donned alternate uniforms since 2024, wearing all-white uniforms on the road against Oregon and all-grey uniforms at home vs. Iowa.

This story was updated with new information about the uniform design.
