Ohio State has some competition for the best all-black jerseys in college football.

After the Buckeyes announced updated versions of their "Tunnel Vision" all-black jerseys would return in 2026, the University of Cincinnati football team posted a photo of their own black jerseys on May 12, which are worn at a majority of the Bearcats' home games.

"The best black uniform in football," read the post caption on X.
