One of the "cheapo" green ones. Also, notice that it is a "REVERSE NEGATIVE" of the REAL AUTHENTIC BLACK ONES! I was waiting for someone like you to post that "piece of crap" for that very reason! (As seen in my game helmet below and a game helmet from Coach Tressel's webpage).

why not just say you know there are 2 different stickers out there? regardless....those ones are green, and weren't sold to me as cheapo green pieces of crap.

You both get a helmet sticker, choice of color is yours, of course, in recognition of your collective zeal for the Buckeyes!

hayn you better let Hawk know, apparently he was wearing the 'fake' ones during the fiesta bowl... with the longer lower leaf on the right (see the attachment)

or maybe the style has changed, just like the orientation, since the two pics in your last post. I don't think they are bright green like the one on your steering wheel, but the change in orientation makes me wonder if the color changed too.

They have reversed them back and forth a few times I've noticed that too! I actually noticed when they started selling the REAL BLACK ones compared to the "cheapo green" ones. At one time all you could get was the "cheapo green" ones in the stores. So, I wanted to see how they were different. The Black ones in the store were a REVERSE of the ones on our helmets!Regardless the one on Hawk's helmet are NOT GREEN like the "CHEAPO GREEN" ones as posted by BuckeyNation27. The one he posted is DEFINITELY NOT the ones that go on the helmets. I AM POSITIVE OF THAT! He posted a GREEN one no doubt, but it is one of the "cheapos" that were first made available to the public a long time ago.

LOL! Typical marketing ploy to get you to buy it. I bet you bought them at CONRAD'S TOO! DEFINITELY NOT OFFICIAL! They are DEFINITELY GREEN! You want the "official" ones look here (BELOW; photo and link)! As JWinslow pointed out they are REVERSED from the ones in the photos I posted. These are "official" as they get. I know for a fact that this is how they come from the manufacturer. I still have two 'sets' exactly like this that the Equipment Mgr gave me to trade with other players from different teams at the '95 Hula Bowl (only "cheapo green" available in stores at this time). Except mine are REVERSED from these and the ones the team is currently using as pointed out by JWinslow. Now the "cheapo green" ones also are available like this (in 10) but they are not made of the same materials (not shiny) and they are GREEN instead of BLACK!

Well, the one you have on your stearing wheel is NOT OFFICIAL as it is DEFINITELY GREEN and doesn't seem to have the extra protective layer that makes them "shine" like in the photo I posted and linked. I know that for a FACT that those vinyl greenies are NOT official!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Anyone (yeah, you Scott) who thinks that the sticker on Hawk's helmet per jwin's attachment is any other color than green needs to make an immediate appointment with their optometrist.

Then someone needs to bring this to the attention of all the "official" stores that are claiming they are official...

[MililaniBuckeye]

Brah, hate to tell you but those are dark green...

Ah, but does "official" mean "accurate?"

We really need some vbet action on this...

excellent catch... each of those green stripes are samples from the center of each nearby leaf.

edit: the black stripes were placed in between to provide a contrast... (ie to show how 'green' those leaves are).
