In the past few years, we've seen Ohio State try out different themes for its fans to follow during games. Most recently, Buckeye fans did a "scarlet out" against Texas in week one. In addition to the "scarlet out," which has been done a few times over the years, the "blackout" has been another popular theme for fans to take part in. But in this week's game against Ohio University, fans are expected to follow a new theme, which might be their best one yet.

The Buckeyes are urging its fans to follow suit in the "helmet stripe" theme on Saturday against their in-state foe. If done correctly, this will be one of the best-looking themes we will have seen across the entirety of college football. All fans will need to buy into the best of their ability in order for the stripe to be executed properly. Let's take a look at what color fans should wear based on the section they are sitting in.

Fans sitting in the south endzone will have to be the most accurate in their choice of color for Saturday's game. Those sitting in sections 37A, 38A, 39A, 37B, 38B, and 39B, as well as those sitting in the AA sections of the south endzone, are expected to show up in scarlet attire.

Fans in sections 33A, 34A, 35A, 36A, 33B, 34B, 35B, and 36B are encouraged to wear white. In sections 31A, 32A, 31B, and 32B, fans should come to the stadium dressed in black. All others attending the game (those not seated in the south endzone) should do their best to show up in gray clothing.

This has the potential to be the best theme Ohio State has put on over the years. It will take all dedication from all fans for this to work out as expected. If done the right way, it will go down as one of the best-looking stadiums for an individual game that we've seen in the history of college football.
