Update: Here's a more detailed look at Ohio State's 1916 throwbacks, which were originally reported back in June. The Buckeyes will wear these on Saturday for their home game against Nebraska, which will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ohio State's undefeated team.

Oh, hello there, Ohio State's snappy alternate uniforms.

According to Andrew Lind of the Tidewater News, Ohio State will be wearing these throwback threads for the 2016 season. Lind added on his Twitter account that the uni is part of the Nike Vapor untouchable series. The photo of the uniform began circulating when a recruit's father snapped a picture during a trip to Columbus over the weekend.
If you're wondering about the significance of the design, BuckNuts -- which first shared the image -- has an explanation:
The potential alternate uniform for the Buckeyes appears to be a throwback that looks based very much on the jersey the team wore in the Chic Harley Era, with vertical gray stripes on a red top. The timing would make a lot of sense too, as this year marks the 100th anniversary of Ohio State's first conference title in 1916.
Ohio State hasn't officially "unveiled" the unis yet, let alone announced in what games they'll be worn, but this sneak peek is good enough for now.
