Brah, they make look dark green but when you see them in person you'll say "BLACK"! Just like you said, whe you saw the ones from my helmet. Go ahead order them from hangonsloopy! Bring em to our next beer drinking session and we'll hold a survey with patrons as to what color they are. LOSER pays the bill!

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

Everyone has different colors on their monitors etc unless they have it correctly calibrated. Not to mention the photo itself is probably not "color corrected" and not professionally done. I am willing to bet the Histogram is wacked on that photo too, hence you're getting lesser values for Black in your 'hypothetical test'. Like I told Mili, when you see them in person, they are BLACK! IN FACT Mili even said they were BLACK when I showed him one (the ones from my game helmet!). The "cheapo greenies" like buckeyenation27 posted are DEFINITELY GREEN! These are Black. Do that same thing you just did with these photos and tell me what you get...IT SURE THE HELL ISN'T GREEN!

someone needs to call the equipment office and ask what color the current buckeye leaves are. otherwise, we will have to wait until texas to find out (no buckeyes on the helmets for niu) scott, it is very possible that in the twelve years since you played they have changed. i don't know this for a fact but i'm just saying it's possible.

I already have an e-mail in to Rob Lachey, the head equipment manager.

I'll let you know when and if I get a response.

BTW, this is the gayest thread ever.

HAYN

It absolutely has the protective layer. It's not an actual sticker that you give to little kids, it's like a button with a glossy coat over it. Sorry HAYN, these are official, from the official team shop.....and they're green.

I think a vBet is in order...

I disagree, we'll probably find out that they have used both kinds of stickers and then no one wins. Although with the way this thread has gone, I think we have all lost already.

Did you ask him what color they are now, or what colors they have been throughout the years?

I hope you did NOT direct him to this thread.

I asked him what the color the buckeye leaf was on the stickers that they used this past football season since it has been shown that the stickers have been green in the past.

And NO, I did not mention this thread at all.

The discussion is for the current stickers...that would be the winning outcome.

But aren't they discussing the ones from last year's helmet?

Well if I hear back I'll let you know. I sent the e-mail to his OSU e-mail address.
