Ohio State Football Uniform Traditions       

Buckeye Leaves

Ohio State uniforms grew a new leaf in 1968 when the tradition
of placing Buckeye Leaves on the Ohio State helmets started.  
The change was brought about by Woody Hayes and longtime
trainer Ernie Biggs . The revised Buckeye uniforms included
names on the back of the jerseys and a wide “Buckeye stripe”
on the sleeves of the jersey believed to be the first of its kind in
the sport of football.


Gold Pants

To celebrate wins over Michigan, a gold charm replica of a pair
of Ohio State's football uniform pants is given to players and
coaches following wins over Big Blue. The tradition started in
1934 when first-year coach Francis Schmidt told those
wondering how OSU would match up with rival Michigan: “They
put their pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else.”
Schmidt’s Buckeyes then went and defeated the Wolverines four
consecutive times.
