I wonder if traditionalist OSU fans are thinking there is too much red, not enough red, too much grey, not enough grey, or chrome is not an Ohio State "official" color. Maybe the stripe on the helmet isn't the right red or is too fat...do they have black socks and shiny red and black shoes...
If I were an Ohio State fan, I would be furious if the helmets weren't the color of an actual buckeye. If they are the buckeyes, the predominant color should be brown like the buckeye nut...or whatever a Buckeye is.
