Helmet Stickers

 As we all know, our boys work very hard out on that field every year, in practice, games, bowls, and training camps. Sometimes it’s easy to overlook some of the key players and units when there are superstars like Chris “Beanie” Wells on the field.

Because I often forget to give proper accolade to some of the integral players of the game, I thought I would take a look into the way that Coach Tressel and the rest of the coaching staff reward their players for a job well done.

First off, I wanted to start by figuring out what exactly goes in to each of those little stickers that cover the helmets of our Buckeyes at the end of the season.

Ohio State Trainer Ernie Biggs started the Buckeye Leaf sticker tradition in 1968. Team members earn Buckeye Leaves throughout the season based on their performance as a team and as individuals.

If I recall, we got slapped on the hand for giving T-shirts to the player for doing well on the field because they had monetary value, which I thought was ridiculous. Now if we give the players stickers to put on their helments is that not the same. The stickers have value because they are printed and I am sure they cost money....This is only a rule breaker if you are not a member of the six BCS conferences.
