Ohio State launches "lose the blue" campaign

The Ohio State University's "Scarlet and Gray Fridays" campaign and the Salvation Army have partnered for a clothing donation drive in coordination with the Ohio State's "Beat Michigan Week" activities.

The "Lose the Blue" clothing drive offers area fans a free officially licensed "Go Bucks—Beat Blue" t-shirt when they donate any wearable blue apparel item (including hats, gloves, pants, shirts, etc.).

Donated items may be exchanged for the free t-shirts at any of the four Buckeye Corner locations in Columbus (Lane Ave., Polaris Parkway, Sawmill Rd. and Easton Town Center) as well as the Official Team Shop in the Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on campus (Lane Ave. and Olentangy River Rd.). Each location has a minimum of 500 t-shirts that will remain available while supplies last, limit one per customer.
