The Pro Combat Rivalry collection from Nike is a limited, one-game-only series made just for your Buckeyes' November 27, 2010 rivalry matchup against the Michigan Wolverines. More than a performance uniform, though, these on-field and sideline pieces were designed with Ohio State's tradition-rich, inspiring heritage in mind, paying specific respect to the Buckeyes of 1942 - a team made up of underclassmen, having lost 18 lettermen to graduation and military service in World War II. Led by legendary coach Paul Brown, the scrappy sophomores and juniors knew most of the team would be heading off to war soon. Undaunted, they went 9-1 and claimed the school's first national championship. This Pro Combat Rivalry jersey pays tribute to that brave, legendary squad with the year "1942" embroidered on the inside of the collar and an American flag patch on the right sleeve with the star field facing forward in accordance with U.S. Army regulation. It also boasts double-layer, tackle twill player numbers rendered in a retro, script font for a bold, contrast appeal. Finally, an applique team logo patch at the collar and contrast team color stripes on the sleeves make this jersey the perfect game day wear for honoring your Buckeyes' moving past and looking to a victorious future!
