The idea of the OSU Sweater Vest T-Shirt materialized during the 2006 football season. While watching the Buckeyes compile a 12-0 regular season record and trip to the BCS National Chamionship game, we realized how fortunate we are to have Coach Tressel lead our team onto the field every Saturday and respresent our beloved University. He is a class act, revered throughout the nation not just for his wins and losses, but for the way he represents the Ohio State University.
During his tenure as head coach of the Buckeyes, he has become famous for wearing a sweater vest and tie on the sidelines - unlike any other coach in the nation. He is so synonymous with this image, that fans mimic this look every gameday. The OSU Sweater Vest T-Shirt is just a simple idea that we feel can help unify students, alumni, parents, kids, and fans from all over in support of our great coach and University.
