Since I’m from Ohio I will have to explain what a "Zip" is. It is short for Zippers which are those ugly rubber shoes that you put over your real shoes to keep them clean when you walk in mud, or rain. They were originally a brand name of BF Goodrich, and Akron is basically in existence because of the rubber industry. Apparently the fumes from burning rubber made residents of Akron retarded, but I guess it could be worse, they could have the Michelin Man as their mascot!

So, will they be wearing these 'zip' contraptions while enduring their humble beating this fall?

They may be intended to cover from the mud and the rain, but they're gonna be zippin' em over their heads to hide their pain and shame by the end of the day ;D
