Ohio Bobcats Wear Black in Win, Players Freak Out During Unveiling

The BJT received an email from Matt Morton, Ohio University's director of equipment, with information on their new football uniforms.  Black jerseys? Yup. 

The Ohio Bobcats surprised their players and broke out black jerseys for their rivalry game versus the Marshall Thundering Herd (the Battle for the Bell) on September 17th, 2011.  The players were told about the black jerseys during their team meeting just before getting dressed for the game.  Check out their reaction in this video.  Similar to most of our reactions on Christmas morning when we were 7 years old and opened the coolest toy known to man:

Their reaction starts at 1:10 and continue watching until the end.  These guys were PUMPED!  The scene in the locker room is pretty funny.



What a great way to get a group of kids excited for a football game.  Ohio followed that up with a 44-7 beat down of Marshall.  They are 3-0 this season and play at Rutgers on September 24th.

Ducks Go Down, While Cowboys and Sun Devils Win in Black

The founding father of the BJT, the 3rd ranked Oregon Ducks, wore their Nike Pro Combat uniforms for their season opener versus the 4th ranked LSU Tigers in Dallas Cowboy Stadium on September 3rd, 2011.  These may be the coolest uniforms in the history of mankind, but they were not enough as LSU took advantage of Oregon's fumbles and puddled the Ducks 40-27.  The Ducks were previously 7-0 in games when they wore black dating back to 2006. Come on, Ducks!
QB Darron Thomas changed uniform numbers from 1 to 5 this off season
LaMichael James (translated TheMichael) was hampered by injuries throughout the game

Another Pac 12 member debuted their new black jerseys on September 10th, 2011.  The ASU Sun Devils brought out the all blacks for their game against the 21st ranked Missouri Tigers.  The BJT wrote an article about ASU's new jerseys this off season, and correctly predicted they would wear these uniforms for this game.  ASU upset the Tigers 37-30 in OT.

Looks like Ronnie Bass' cousin. "Game ball...RONNIE BASS!"


Oklahoma State decided to wear their black jerseys for just the 2nd time since 1994 in their highly anticipate early season game versus the talented Arizona Wildcats.  'Zona could not keep up with the black jerseys, losting 37-14 in Stillwater, OK.

We will keep you updated on the rest of the black jerseys won throughout the rest of the college football season.
