For a lot of Ohio State fans, the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2025, is the game they replay most from the national title season. The Buckeyes beat Oregon 41-21 in Pasadena in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal, a few months after losing to the Ducks by one point in Eugene. A custom Ohio State Buckeyes jersey with a Rose Bowl patch is a direct way to mark that day. Here is how to plan one.
Why the Rose Bowl stands out
The regular-season loss at Oregon was the low point of the year. The rematch flipped it. Ohio State led big at halftime and never let the game get close, and from there the team won two more playoff games and the national championship. Fans who were in Pasadena, or who watched at home on New Year’s Day, tend to remember that game as the moment the season turned.
Step 1: Confirm the patch
The image above shows a listing titled “Custom Ohio State Buckeyes Jersey Rose Bowl Vapor Limited V2 Stitched All Colors.” The title tells you it is custom, that it carries a Rose Bowl patch, that it is the V2 version of that design, and that it comes in several colors. If the patch is the whole reason you are buying, make sure “Rose Bowl” is in the title of the listing you choose.
Step 2: Pick the color
Since the listing covers “all colors,” you will choose one at checkout. Scarlet is the classic home look, and white is the common road look. Decide whether you want to match what the team wore that day or simply the color you like best. Either is a fair choice for a fan jersey.
Step 3: Choose the name and number
This is where the jersey becomes yours. Some ideas:
- A player from the Rose Bowl. Look up the number he wore that season before you type it in.
- Your own surname with a number that matters to you, like a birthday or graduation year.
- The date. A 1 or a 25 works as a nod to January 1, 2025.
Keep the name short, and check spelling twice. Custom text appears exactly as entered.
Step 4: Compare with the other custom options
The Rose Bowl version is one of several. Browse the shop’s custom Ohio State Buckeyes jerseys to compare designs, and note that custom basketball and baseball jerseys sit in their own categories. If you are ordering for a group, settle on one design first so the set matches.
