The Scarlet and Gray will have just a little bit more gray on their uniforms than usual when they take the field for Monday's College Football Playoff national championship game.

Ohio State revealed its uniform for the upcoming showdown against Notre Dame on Thursday, and the white jerseys notably feature the gray sleeves that are known as "Heritage Stripes" within the program.

It is a change from the three CFP games the Buckeyes won to reach this point, as they wore all-scarlet alternates in the win over Tennessee, traditional road uniforms in the win over Oregon and traditional home uniforms in the win over Texas.

But these "Heritage Stripe" uniforms are nothing new for Ohio State when it comes to the CFP.

As Phil Hecken of Uni Watch noted, the Buckeyes have worn versions of this uniform for other CFP games, including in victories over Alabama and Oregon on the way to the national championship in January 2015.

They also wore them in a blowout victory over Clemson in the semifinals in January 2021.

If Ohio State can take care of business Monday against the Fighting Irish, it will mark yet another program-defining win in these jerseys. It would also mark the ninth national championship for the Buckeyes and the culmination of a season-long journey that started when many notable players decided to return for their senior seasons back in January 2024.

Ohio State's closest margin of victory in this playoff has been 14 points, although Notre Dame's stout defense and strong running game figure to pose quite a challenge on Monday.

But the Buckeyes surely plan on celebrating after the game. And now they know what jerseys they will be wearing if they do so.
