Best College Football Uniforms Week 4: Ohio State Buckeyes Among Teams That Look All Black

It’s Week 4 of the college football season, and several teams have put together dazzling uniform combinations for this weekend.

The No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes deviated from their usual combination of scarlet and gray for a darker alternate outfit. The San Jose Spartans pay tribute to their city and the Mississippi State Bulldogs honor two pioneers with an old-school outfit.

But the uniform matchup of the week could be No. 15 Oregon Ducks versus the Washington State Cougars, with the teams wearing contrasting colors.

Here’s a look at some of the best college football uniforms for Week 4:

it’s a blackout

The Buckeyes will wear black against the Wisconsin Badgers for their “Blackout Game.” The last time the team wore black alternate uniforms was in a 2019 win against the Michigan State Spartans. Ohio State is 3-0 when wearing black entering Saturday, beating the Penn State Nittany Lions in 2015, the Nebraska Cornhuskers in 2018 and the Spartans.

Attendees are also encouraged to wear black at “The Shoe,” the Buckeyes’ home stadium, on Saturday.

San Jose State introduced their “City Night” uniforms for Saturday’s game against the Western Michigan Broncos. The look features the school’s Spartan head logo on the shoulders of the jersey. Additionally, the Spartan spear is in the middle of the helmet, and the “SJ” decal for the helmet has a chrome finish.

Mississippi State will honor Frank Dowsing Jr. and Robert Bell, the first black players to suit up for the Bulldogs in a vintage uniform against the Bowling Green Falcons. The helmets feature the old school “MS” logo on each side, and the jerseys have “Miss. State” on the front and back. The set is part of a celebration of the team’s 50th anniversary from 1972, the last season Dowsing and Bell played at Mississippi State.
