Football season is upon us, people. To show where our allegiance lies, it’s almost imperative that we sport our Buckeye gear as much as humanly possible. Wearing Scarlet and Gray is our entire personality during this time of year, and we get the feeling it’s probably yours too.
If you’re a real Ohio State fan, you know that there’s pretty much nothing that will prohibit you from showing up and watching the game. Doesn’t matter if there’s heat, rain, sleet, or snow – you’ll be there. If you’re not physically AT the game, there’s no way you won’t be tuning in.
Whether you’re watching the game in blazing heat, shivering through a snow storm, or watching from home – everyone needs some Ohio State gear. Here’s where to find all the Ohio State gear you could possibly need!
Game faces = on.
College Traditions
286 W Lane Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
For a simple OSU T-shirt under $25, a red Ohio State Jersey, or even a little jersey for your furry friend, you gotta stop in at College Traditions. They literally have everything, from golden Brutus bobbleheads to Ohio State whiskey barrel tables. Plus, it’s a stone’s throw from the stadium, so if you forgot to wear your gear to the game (we’re only judging you slightly), you can pick up something quickly and easily at College Traditions.
The Buckeye Connection
400 N High St #126, Columbus, OH 43215
If you want to cover all the bases when it come to Ohio State gear, The Buckeye Connection has got you covered. You’ll find anything from Ohio State coffee mugs, to hats, and even home decor to make sure that even your shelves are in the OSU spirit.
“Go Bucks!”
-your shelves, probably
Buckeye Bargains
53 W 11th Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
Make your way into the little brick house on Campus to find all of Buckeye Bargains’, well, bargains! Buckeye Bargains a thrift shop that is operated by the University Women’s Club at OSU, and all proceeds are donated to the UWC Ohio State Scholarship Fund! Since you’d be buying second-hand, think of all the W’s those clothing items have seen… sounds like lots of good juju in these clothes. Plus, if you’re a student with some BuckID cash burning a hole in your pocket, they accept BuckID as a form of payment!
Homage
783 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215
Homage is the place to go for all of your Ohio State essentials. You can buy an entire outfit from there and be a Buckeye from head to toe. Get decked out with some socks, pants and shorts, T’s and crewnecks, and much more! Their vintage look and feel will make you look like a weathered Buckeyes fan, whether you’re a new fan or an OG.
Buckeye Corner
This shop has a super wide selection of apparel, but because this spot is owned by Lids, you can find an absolutely massive selection of hats at Buckeye Corner. That’s not to say it’s not a one-stop shop for all your Ohio State gear needs, but if you’re looking for a unique Ohio State cap to compliment the rest of your gameday gear, this is your spot.
Rally House
Rally House is a national chain, but my first experience at one of their locations was nothing short of incredible. They have tons of unique apparel options and such a wide selection that I quickly became a huge fan. Plus, there are six locations in the Columbus area, making it one of the most accessible places to get all the Ohio State gear your little Scarlet and Gray heart desires.
Clothing Underground
1652 N High St, Columbus, OH 43201
One of the most unique spots on this entire list, clothing underground is home to up-cycled, recycled, and 2nd-hand Ohio State gear, many of which are one-of-a-kind pieces that you cannot find anywhere else. It’s an intimate store that is just across High Street from Ohio State’s South Campus. Heck, I think I’m going to go there right now!
