Ohio State football uniforms 2013: Everything we know

After months of rumors of varying truth, the Ohio State football team will be wearing the latest Nike technology for the 2013 season.

The newest template made available by the shoe and apparel company, the Pro Combat Hypercool Uniform, is Nike's most innovative creation yet.

The upgrade also includes something only worn by a small number of other FBS schools. Oregon, Alabama and Texas' jerseys all feature Nike's patented Chain Maille Mesh on the back and under the shoulders. This fabric is an extremely breathable material, but is also very strong and durable.

The Buckeyes home jerseys feature seven gray buckeye leaves on the back collar, signifying Ohio State's seven national championships. The away jerseys will have red leaves:
