- When the Buckeyes take the field, they do so in bold scarlet and gray uniforms. Capture these hues in your space by creating scarlet and gray stripes on your room wall. Measure out 6-to-12-inch increments around your wall, drawing vertical lines to separate these spaces. Using a painting tape, tape along these lines. Paint every other tapped-off section gray, then remove your tape, place it at the edge of each gray strip and add your red, finishing off your bold-as-can-be wall and making your allegiance to the Buckeyes something that no one can question.
- Integrate the logo of the university into your decor by crafting a bold logo wall. Start by giving the wall you intend to accent a fresh coat of paint in a neutral white or light gray hue. Obtain an image of the OSU logo, which consists of a dominant O and a collection of buckeyes. Either copy this logo by hand onto the wall, or use an overhead projector to place it on the wall by copying the logo onto a transparency and projecting it onto your wall surface. After tracing around the logo in pencil, paint it by hand using reds and browns.
- Rim your room in buckeyes to show your diehard devotion to OSU. Create a buckeye stencil, printing an image of a cluster of buckeyes onto a sheet of thick cardboard then cutting them out. Using brown and white paint to give these buckeyes an authentic look, place them around the perimeter of your room, creating a custom row of these OSU identifiers.
- For many lovers of OSU, the blood really starts pumping when the team hits the field. Reflect this moment of excitement by creating an "On the Field" mural. Select an image of your favorite Buckeye team hitting the field. If you possess the artistic skill to do so, copy the image onto your wall to create your mural. If not, hire a muralist and arm her with the image, asking her to place it on your wall.
