Ohio State has announced it will wear all-scarlet uniforms for its game vs. Penn State later this season.

NBA star — and noted Ohio State fan — LeBron James is a fan of the new look for the Buckeyes. He made a supportive comment on Instagram shortly after the announcement was made:

James is from Akron, Ohio, and has supported the Buckeyes in the past. He co-narrated a hype video for Ohio State prior to the National Championship Game last season.

Ohio State will have some work to do if it wants to get back to the national title game this season. The Buckeyes already have one loss this season after falling at home to Oregon back in Week 2.

Ohio State’s game vs. Penn State on Oct. 30 will go a long way towards getting back into the College Football Playoff picture. The Nittany Lions are currently 4-0 and are firmly in the discussion for a playoff spot.

But first, the Buckeyes will take on Rutgers on Saturday. Kick off is at 3:30 p.m. ET.
