Tommy Tuberville and the Cincinnati Bearcats will hop on a bus and travel to Columbus Saturday morning to take on the No. 23 Ohio State Buckeyes, and they’re going to be well-dressed for the occasion.
Cincinnati’s official Twitter account for the football program tweeted out a few pictures of the Bearcats’ uniform set up for this weekend’s in-state rivalry game. They’re pretty slick:

The helmet features a custom decal featuring the state of Ohio—a subtle approach to emphasizing that the game itself is the “battle for Ohio.”
Ohio State, which leads the series 12-2 and hasn’t lost since 1897, is a 16-point favorite over Cincinnati. The Buckeyes have won 39 straight games versus Ohio opponents, the last being a 7-6 loss against Oberlin 87 years ago.
