infofan Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I dont mean to be petty and maybe this doesnt bother anyone else but wear your ips stuff guys!! The majority of us were wearing Zips blue or neutral stuff but I really get sick of seeing Red OSU jerseys and Georgetown or NC hats on our own so called fans. If you dont have any Zips wear go buy some or just wear jeans and a neutral shirt. I wont debate that there are OSU fans and Im ok with that but Geez!! Cant you wear blue and gold to our game and change ?? Especially this saturday with IU I dont want to see red on OUR fans!!! Opinions???

Unless of course you are an IU fan. I really think the stadium would look great if all the fans wore navy. And it would look good with the new All blue Unis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-mann17 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 It's what I was telling my wife. It's great we got the sell out, now we need to work on getting everyone in blue. I was looking across at the east stands and it was just a rainbow of color. We will need a shirt promotion to really get this done though. (Student Section looked great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions???You might not have to worry about that as much after the Suckeyes just lost their 6th game in a row to a high-ranked team. Now that they are out of the Top-10, many of their fair-weather fans might actually go back to rooting for their "real" alma maters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublezip Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agree that an all navy stadium would be fantastic! The students looked great. Also, I think it was also the first game for a lot of people. Let's hope everyone goes out and gets some navy gear for this week. We need a good name for it--"navy out" doesn't really work...

Personally I think a gold-out (Not pee Can't yellow, I mean gold like our helmets) would be the most unique, but since not many people have gold akron shirts and the rowdies and roo-zoo shirts are blue, thats our best option.

xu9697 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Would have helped if the team shop was open. VERY LIMITED selection in the makeshift shop.Would have also helped if Campus Exchange across from the stadium had some X-large shirts. Tried to buy either a white or a gray shirt I liked..found 2, no XLs.Hey, I hate to be the fashion police here, but I love my navy blue Zips hat (wore it Saturday, been wearing it all summer)..but unless it matches EXACTLY with a Navy shirt, it just isn't gonna happen. I saw way too many fans with navy hats and navy shirts that just didn't match. Gotta keep my fashion sense, baby!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 The team shop WAS open. Well, at least the one under the east stands was, anyway. They had a line all game long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-mann17 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 The team shop WAS open. Well, at least the one under the east stands was, anyway. They had a line all game long.So was the one on the west. Everyone is referring to the main Team shop by the main gate. There were a lot of people pretty disappointed by it not being open.In light of that they should have had a few tables along the concourse. The "casual fan" doesn't wait in a queue to buy merchandise from a window. They will stand in line at a cash register though because they can continue to shop (something to occupy them).

Zip22 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Toledo gave a free Toledo Rockets shirt to every student who came in and turned in an Ohio State shirt, in preparation for their upcoming game.Toledo is GENIUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zips4ever2008 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agree that people need to wear Akron Zips colors to the game. It annoyed me to see people wearing Ohio State shirts and jerseys to the game. I even saw someone wear a Rutgers jersey to the game. All I can say is don't bother coming to an Akron game if you're going to wear OSU stuff. Just stay home. I find it disrespectful. Just find a navy blue shirt and wear it. Even go and buy one or borrow one from your friends or family. Even have Akron shirts or something ready as people come in and if someone is wearing a OSU shirt or any other school besides the Akron and the opponet, tell them to switch. We need to be more tough on those who wear OSU gear to a Zips game and let them know that this is Akron, not Columbus. I think it would be awesome if we could do a navy blue out. Kudos to the student section. What they did was awesome and how something like that should be done. Maybe get the word out to everyone to wear navy blue for a game. Send a mass email, post reminders all over campus, hand shirts out at the gate...whatever. When other schools do it, it's really cool. Lets start a tradition like that.
