dustinnikki's Full Review: Ohio State Buckeyes 4 Glass Caucasian Football Pla...
I bought one of these Ohio State Buckeyes Football Player ornaments last year to add to my Christmas Tree. I found these ornaments at Wal-Mart along with some other Ohio State Buckeye ornaments and Decorations. Wal-Mart usually has a section devoted to the Ohio State Buckeyes and even has a section in their Christmas decorations. I'm from Ohio so I'm sure it's different in other states.
Description
This ornament is an NCAA licensed product. The Ohio StateBuckeye Football Player ornament is 4 inches tall. It is made of glass like other typical Christmas tree ornaments are. It is hollow on the inside. The football player is dressed in an Ohio State Football uniform and is made to look bulky like a real football player. He is wearing gray pants, red jersey and a silver helmet. The helmet look like it's supposed to with the team colors striped down the middle. The jersey doesn't resemble a real jersey but it is red with the gray and white stripes on the sleeves and has the Ohio State logo across the front of the jersey. The back of the jersey has the numbers 00. The player is also wearing black cleats and is carrying a football.
His face looks kind of cartoony. There isn't a face guard on the helmet so that you can see his face. He's got a "mean football" look on his face and it makes his face look more comedic than anything. The whole ornament is painted. There is a gold cap on the top of the player with a loop so that you can add a hook to hang it on your tree.
Performance/Opinion
Being from Ohio and being a huge Buckeye fan, I like this ornament. I haven't seen any parts of the paint chipping off. I will warn you, this ornament can break easily. It's not solid glass. I did have a problem with the gold cap falling off the top of it but I fixed that with gorilla glue. The whole ornament is shiny. I think this is kind of weird because the Buckeyes are scarlet and gray and the pants on this ornament make him look like he has silver pants. I think they could have put a little more detail in the jersey to make it look a little more authentic.
This ornament is very lightweight so it hangs really easily on the tree. I recommend not putting it too close to the ends of the limb though because it can break if it's fallen off and stepped on. This ornament doesn't look "Christmasy" so you can use it for other things. Our Buckeye Player is just going to hang on our tree every year. I love the Buckeyes but to me, this ornament is just average to me. I think they could have done a better job with detail but I still think it's great for any Buckeye fan!
