The Ohio State football program announced on Monday it will wear all-scarlet “Color Rush” uniforms for its Oct. 30 home game against Penn State, countering the Nittany Lions’ all-white uniforms.

This marks the second straight year that the Buckeyes have added a new pants option to the uniform rotation, as they donned white pants for last season’s win at Michigan State. It will be worn with Ohio State's standard home jersey and traditional silver helmets, as well as scarlet accessories.

Ohio State is also encouraging fans to wear scarlet in an attempt to scarlet-out the stadium in what will likely be a top-10 matchup late next month. Kickoff time for that game has not been announced yet.
