Nike unveils College Football Playoff uniform changes
Nike supplies the uniforms for all four of the teams in the College Football Playoff and it will be tweaking the duds for all of them.
The biggest change, predictably, is to Oregon's uniforms. Instead of wearing the helmets with wings like it has for most of the season, Oregon will wear the "O" logo on its helmets.
Each school will wear new Nike gloves and cleats. The gloves are Nike's Vapor Jet Knit gloves and "the new knit construction is the next evolution in natural motion glove construction, allowing for full freedom of movement." The Vapor Untouchable cleats will be in each team's colors.
All four teams will also wear new undershirts. Alabama's is designed to look like an elephant's skin. The texturing is composed of "mantras, quotes and team inspirations." Florida State's has a pattern with the Seminole logo at the chest.
Ohio State will wear its Mach Speed uniforms, which feature a different striping pattern on the sleeves. Since Alabama is the home team on January 1, the Buckeyes will be in white. Its undershirt will also be based off a Woody Hayes' chalk board.
