Where's YOUR Gold Pants?
Three possible reasons they look green to you:
1) If you mind says they're green your eyes will see them as green
2) Those photos are not color corrected; notice the red on the jersey looks a bit orange on the numbers. Hence when I offer photos to people I take the time to make them as PERFECT as possible. I just don't print a photo the way it was shot. A lot the photos out there do not get the time and care mine do!
3)Those photos are far and the illusion of green your mind is creating is bigger! Look at the photos in my post with the comparisons (CLOSE UPS)!

BTW this rain is CRAZY! THREE FUCKIN WEEKS STRAIGHT! EVERY DAMN DAY! I do like sliding down the lawns with the boogie board though!

photobucket.com is blocked by my network so I can't see your images, but I'll take your word for it. Still, keep your schedule open for Thursday brews...
I noticed a few years ago that the leaves had been reversed (like a photo negative) from when I remember them. The ones that they sold in the store were always "backwards" and you could tell the difference b/t the LEGITIMATE ones we got to the "fake" ones in the stores.
But now the ones the team uses are just like the ones in the store. Our leaves had a stem that curved to the RIGHT and a lower left blade that was more solid black, while the stores carried the green ones and some black ones that were opposite (stem curved to LEFT and lower right blade that was more solid). The current team also uses these now.
See the difference below

BLACK!
BLACK!
BLACK!
THOSE ARE BLACK. You guys are color blind and your monitors are most likely not calibrated either! GREEN is found NOWHERE in the color scheme of Ohio State. So tell me, would it make sense to make the Buckeye Leaves green and NOT BLACK, which they are? Forget that green is consistent with Buckeye Leaves in nature/reality. I don't see ANY green in the above photo with Archie...you guys are seriously thinking of the SEVEN LEAFERS IMO!
HAYN
SHOW ME THE "green" in these Buckeye Leaves please!
Archie's looks green.
Hey HAYN, I think they give the punters "special" leaves.:tongue2:
Just kidding. It looks like they have changed them quite often.

The youth football team I coach, and have coached for 4 years now, is called Ohio State. Three years ago, I ordered 600 buckeye leaves that we could reward the players with, during the season. Those leaves were most definitely green.
Last year, we knew that we would need more buckeye leaves, so I ordered another batch of 600 from the same vendor, and when they arrived they were black; not really dark green but black.

No beers for either of you!
The better solution may be that they take turns buying the rounds
