Ohio State football helmets through the years
A brief history of the helmet designs throughout Ohio State football history #GoBucks
buckeyeswire.usatoday.com
There’s no denying the Ohio State football program has one of the most iconic helmets in the game. But the current, traditional version hasn’t always been what each player strapped on.
In fact, you might be surprised to know the current, classic look has been in place since only 1979.
Before that, players running out of the tunnel to play for the scarlet and gray had subtle differences as the helmet evolved, while other times the changes were very drastic and changed the look of the team entirely.
And with more and more alternate jerseys and helmets making the rounds, the piece of the football wardrobe known as the image of the program has had more designs and variations.
We decided to take a look at the history of the Ohio State football helmet so you can get a little more acclimated to where things started, what other designs have been introduced, and where things stand today.
Here’s a brief look at the history of the Ohio State football helmet designs through the years (click on link ↑).

CT governor, Houston mayor bicker after Final 4
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner have traded barbs after Lamont took a shot at the Texas city following the conclusion of the NCAA tournament's Final Four earlier this week.
Connecticut governor, Houston mayor bicker after Final Four
Connecticut's governor took a shot at the city of Houston following the NCAA tournament's Final Four, which was held in that city last weekend.
Gov. Ned Lamont, who traveled to Houston and was on hand Monday night to watch the University of Connecticut men's basketball team win its fifth NCAA tournament championship, talked about his visit earlier this week on WPLR-FM's "Chaz and AJ" show.
"After winning the semifinals, you walk around downtown Houston, which is butt-ugly," the Democrat said. "Not much there."
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, also a Democrat, responded that he did not appreciate the governor "throwing shade" at his city after it went to the trouble to "feed you, dine you, host you, house you."
"And you're going to go back and talk about 'butt-ugly?' Which end was he looking from?" Turner said on KHOU-TV.
Lamont made an apology of sorts Thursday after being asked about his comments during an unrelated news event..

"He said: 'Maybe the governor's looking at the wrong end of a beautiful horse,' " Lamont said. "I guess I resemble that comment. I want to say more importantly that nothing compares to the beauty of that amazing basketball championship on Monday night."

The college basketball season comes to an end tonight as UConn faces San Diego State in the national championship game in Houston. (Check it out on CBS at 9 p.m. Eastern time.)
Once again, the city of Columbus was an important stop on the way to the NCAA Final Four. Columbus hosted first weekend match-ups in both the men’s and women’s tournaments with the men downtown at Nationwide Arena and the women at OSU’s Value City Arena.
The Big Ten tournament began with the 1997-98 season and has been predominantly held in Chicago and Indianapolis. The United Center in Chicago held it each of the first four years and has hosted it 11 times, including this season. Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis – under various names – has hosted it 12 times. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis also hosted it in the Covid-impacted 2020-21 season.
With Maryland and Rutgers added to the Big Ten for the 2014-15 school year, the tournament was held in Washington, D.C., in 2017 and at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in 2018.
This past year, the Big Ten announced it would branch out to a new frontier as it contracted with the city of Minneapolis and the Target Center – home of the NBA’s Minneapolis Timberwolves – to host the women’s tournament this year and the men’s tournament in March 2024.
Accordingly, that announcement has given rise to speculation and maybe some hope that some of the Big Ten’s other “old line” major cities could also be considered to host these tournaments in future years. These potential host sites could include Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Columbus.
As it stands, the 2024 Big Ten men’s and women’s tournaments will both be held at the Target Center in Minneapolis. The conference will be calling for bids on those tournaments for future years.

Fans packed Nationwide Arena for NCAA men's opening round action in March (Photo: 247Sports)
Nationwide Arena opened in downtown Columbus in 2000 as the home of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. It has hosted first weekend NCAA men’s tournament games on six occasions, beginning in 2004 and continuing through the games earlier this month. Each of those tournaments brought eight college teams and their fanbases to Columbus.
Nationwide Arena also hosted the NCAA women’s basketball Final Four in April 2018. It is estimated that Final Four generated nearly $22 million in visitor spending in the city in 2018. Columbus has already been tapped to host the women’s Final Four again in 2027.
According to Columbus Business First, Columbus sold the most tickets of all of the NCAA men’s first weekend sites for the 2023 tournament. Nationwide Arena was sold out for the two Friday sessions and one on Sunday, with nearly 60,000 tickets sold — roughly 19,564 tickets per session.
"We're just excited and blessed that everyone in the city, as well as all the markets that are close by, came to Columbus to enjoy some great basketball," Nationwide Arena general manager Mike Gatto told Columbus Business First.
"I say it sometimes tongue-in-cheek, but I do mean it, the vision for Columbus Arena Sports and Entertainment — that's our group that oversees both Nationwide and the (Schottenstein Center), as well as Ohio Stadium — is for Columbus to be the sports and entertainment capital of the Midwest, and I really feel like we're on our way there."
Just sayin': Yeah, it would be great to see a future B1G Basketball Tournament in Columbus.
With Big Ten tournament going to Minneapolis, could Columbus or other cities host in future?

Re: Kenny Guiton
Coaching career (HC unless noted)
2015–2016 Houston (GA)
2017–2018 Houston (WR)
2019 Louisiana Tech (OWR)
2020 Colorado State (WR)
2021–present Arkansas (WR)
Hey, he's moving up the coaching ranks as a WR coach....
Yeah, but the problem with that being: Currently we have the best WR coach in college football, so I hope we never have an opening for a new one (at least in my lifetime....
). Maybe he could return for an administrative or analyst position though.
