Get a few of the Buckeye leaves sewed on your jersey. Ohio State coaches award Buckeye leaves to players for achievements on the field. Those leaves are decals that stick onto the helmet. You don't have a helmet; you have a jersey. Get some facsimiles of the Buckeye leaves and have them sewn on to your jersey. The Buckeye leaves are available through the Ohio State bookstore. You can order them online from a company called sportsmirrors.com.
