Gate-side scarlet and gray at CMH T
Right in Terminal T, Buckeye Hall of Fame Shop is the airport stop for Ohio State gear before or after a game weekend. You’ll see it as you head toward the main T concourse gates, with shelves stacked in scarlet and gray rather than generic “Columbus” souvenirs. Expect everything branded Ohio State: shirts, hats, hoodies, lanyards, flags, and small items that actually fit in a carry-on.
Prices run higher than off-airport shops in Columbus, but not crazy for an airport; think $30–$40 for caps and $40–$70 for hoodies. It’s post-security in T, so you’re spending boarding time, not buffer time. Stock leans heavily toward current-season logos and football themes, less so on niche sports or throwback designs. Kids’ sizes are usually on a separate rack near the front, so you can grab something fast between flights.
Selection shifts with the calendar: during football season you’ll see more jerseys and cold‑weather pieces, while spring brings lighter tees and caps. Licensing means this is real Ohio State merchandise, not knockoffs, and they carry plenty of small under-$20 items like keychains, decals, and magnets for quick gifts. Staff can usually check sizes in the back if you ask, but odds are best on common sizes like M–XL.
Quick tip: if your gate is deep in T, stop here on the way out from security, not on the way back; walking all the way up concourse again can eat 10–15 minutes you don’t have.
