OSU football defeated Notre Dame 34-23 on Monday night to win its first national championship in 10 years, and its third undisputed title this century — joining Alabama as the only schools who can make that claim.
Paul Wells, manager at Academy Sports + Outdoors in Springfield, said Ohio State gear has been a draw not just Tuesday, but throughout the month-long expanded playoffs.
“It’s been tremendously a pickup,” Wells said. “As we hit the snow season, that started to keep people away, but then people kept coming for Ohio State merch.”
Wells said his store at 1690 North Bechtle Ave. received the OSU championship products in advance, but obviously had to hold off on selling it until after the Buckeyes won.
“We have tons of T-shirts, hats, lanyards … we have everything you could need,” Wells said.
