One of the traditions that has developed from this rivalry is the distribution of pins in the shape of gold pants to the players after a win over the Wolverines. The tradition developed in response to the dominance of Michigan's program in the early days of the rivalry, with just six wins for the Buckeyes, and two ties, in 30 games from 1897 until the end of the 1933 season. Francis Schmidt became the head coach of the Buckeyes prior to the 1934 season, following his very successful five-year tenure at Texas Christian University.
When Schmidt accepted the head coaching position, the local media had many questions about how Schmidt expected the Buckeyes to fare against the rest of the Big Ten, and particularly their most bitter rivals. Schmidt was never afraid of the Wolverines. He replied with a saying that was prevalent in Texas at the time, saying, "They put their pants on one leg at a time, just like the rest of us." Schmidt is generally credited with popularizing this now-common phrase outside of Texas.
The statement, establishing Schmidt's belief that That Team Up North wasn't at all invincible, prompted local businessmen Simon Lazarus, president of--as his surname suggests--the Lazarus department store, and Herb Levy, president of the Union Company department store, to form what is still known as the "Gold Pants Club, " and create a tangible expression of the sentiment expressed by Schmidt in the form of gold lapel pins shaped like football pants. Each player and coach on an Ohio State team that beats Michigan receives the Gold Pants, inscribed with the player or coach's initials, the date of the victory, and the score of the game.$20 shipping in an insured package ASAPFeel free to contact me with any questionsGo Bucks!On Dec-25-19 at 19:25:56 PST, seller added the following information:100% money back guarantee!
