Ohio State

Ohio State

What is the relationship between the state of Ohio and the nature of the Muppet's Fozzie Bear?

I have a vintage t-shirt I bought in a store Second-hand with a picture of Fozzie Bear and the word "Fozzie" and underneath, in letters of the vintage, the words "Ohio State". I have looked online and can not find any connection. Does anyone know any chance? The curiosity is killing me!

There is no direct relationship. during the years 70 and 80 many universities in large piggy-backed along with your name recognized cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Snoopy / Peanuts, Bugs Bunny, etc. The idea is that some fans could not buy a plain T-shirt OSU, but Fozzie or once was also a fan of OSU. His call of the Cross or composite mark. It began to crumble in the copyright holders cartoon image began to get more restrictive in its use. Moreover, they did not like the negative press to see a lot of screaming college students wearing Mickey Mouse T is giving the finger to opposing schools on national television. Some schools have marketing agreements, such as USC and the UCLA with Disney to sell Mickey shirts in school colors. Finally, many universities have their own brand pet and thought it was silly to pay more by using a character that is not even your pet.
