Oregon ‘O’ on Skinner Butte returns to rightful color after vandals repainted it red | Local
EUGENE, Ore. – The big, wooden Oregon ‘O’ located at Skinner Butte Park in Eugene is back to its rightful color after vandals spattered it with red paint.
It’s not confirmed, but the community believes the act was a possible show of support for the Ohio State Buckeyes and was discovered on the morning of December 31. By the afternoon of the same day, however, several people stepped up to re-paint the ‘O’ themselves, returning it to its former shade of “Ducks” yellow.
One of those supporters, a Eugene resident and longtime Ducks fan who wished to remain anonymous, said that he’s “got plenty more paint where that came from.”
In a heartwarming turn of events, the iconic ‘O’ on Skinner Butte in Oregon has been restored to its original green color after vandals had painted it red. The ‘O’ is a beloved symbol of the University of Oregon and holds great significance for the local community.
The vandalism occurred earlier this month, much to the dismay of residents and university students who hold the ‘O’ in high regard. However, thanks to the quick action of local authorities and volunteers, the ‘O’ has been repainted to its rightful green hue.
The restoration of the ‘O’ serves as a reminder of the pride and unity that the symbol represents for the people of Oregon. It is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the community to preserve their cherished landmarks.
As we admire the newly restored ‘O’ on Skinner Butte, let us also take a moment to appreciate the spirit of camaraderie and determination that brought it back to its original color. The ‘O’ stands tall once again, a beacon of pride and unity for all who call Oregon home.
