The orange and white versions are bad, but black?

Good Lord. I mean maybe if I’m just going out to feed the chickens.

Would Nike really make that? Makes me wonder if there is a high school somewhere with this helmet?View attachment 233915

This is for Olentangy high school in Columbus, OH. They are the Olentangy Orange and that is (or at least was) their helmet.

Horrible. If you look at the sayings on the other schools versions of this hat, you see we did not put much effort into this.

"Oh, just put whatever you want on it, as long as it says 'Cuse somewhere. Oh yeah, it should probably be orange."

I personally hate "Cuse". I know I'm virtually alone. I don't say it. No one roots for 'gan, 'sota, 'ornia, or 'xas. I'm quite confident I could come up with 10 better slogans for that hat.

I used to be 144% with you.

(also used to loathe "Sparty". the nickname, along w/ the team - of course.)

But then, I got used to it.
And more importantly, the kids/students seem to dig it.
Which is all that really matters.

as for your no one roots for an abbreviation - ahem:
GO 'COCKS!!!!

GO ZAGS!!!
GO ZONA!!

Oh I know. I immediately thought of 'Zona. And for the record, I wouldn't say that either. lol

Ah yes, the leather ORANGE MAN hat.

Honestly I would rock this today if it did not have the jersey (on a hanger nonetheless) and football from 1920 on it. I can only guess the designer was told to put as much flair on it as they could get to fit and in the process FUBAR'd the entire thing.

OMG, I can’t even.

Hard to believe it wasn’t that long ago, no one had gear on at a game. Harder to believe anyone would ever have worn some of the crap you can find out there, particularly older stuff. This is a place to share your finds. I’ll start.
