Ohio State will wear white jerseys and grey pants when it faces Texas in Austin on Saturday evening, according to an announcement by Ohio State Football.

The team also announced that players will wear commemorative helmet decals honouring victims of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.

The uniform decision follows speculation that Ohio State might wear its all-white “Sub Zero” uniform after the team revealed special-edition white shoes. The announced combination instead retains the traditional road uniform.

Ohio State had previously updated elements of its uniforms, including the addition of the “Buckeye Stripe” and new colour combinations.

The game is scheduled for 7.30 p.m. ET on Saturday. It has been described as an early-season meeting between two top-five-ranked teams, although the specific rankings were not provided.
