Ohio State and Cincinnati are trading friendly jabs on social media, but this isn't about trash talk—it's about who wears the best black jerseys in college football.

The rivalry kicked off when the Buckeyes announced their updated "Tunnel Vision" all-black uniforms are set to return in 2026. Not one to be outdone, the University of Cincinnati football team fired back on May 12, posting a photo of their own sleek black jerseys—a staple for most of their home games.

"The best black uniform in football," the Bearcats declared on X.

Just an hour later, Ohio State's football account responded with their own post, showcasing the new black jerseys with a caption that left no room for debate: "THE best black uniform in college football." The capitalized "THE" was a clear nod to the university's iconic branding.

For Cincinnati, black is more than a color—it's part of their identity. With red, black, and white as primary colors, their black jerseys have been a consistent fan favorite year after year. Ohio State, meanwhile, first introduced their "Tunnel Vision" look in 2015, and the all-black uniforms haven't been seen since a dominant 2022 win over Wisconsin.

But the banter didn't stop there. Oklahoma State joined the conversation, posting a photo of their own black jerseys with a cheeky caption: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," replying directly to Cincinnati's original post.

Whether you're team Buckeyes, Bearcats, or Cowboys, one thing's clear—black jerseys are having a moment, and these programs are proud to show theirs off.
