Here I am at OSH11 with my backpack. It's a Cinebags CB-25 loaded with one large video camera, 2 small video cameras, a Nikon SLR with 3 lenses, flash, and all the various video and photography accessories, and of course water bottles. Only issue is the sweaty back some others mentioned, but I address that by alternately hanging the bag by just one shoulder to allow some cooling.
I have a chair/backpack in one. It's a chair that folds up and it has straps to wear it like a backpack plus it has all the storage room too. And it reclines! I'm pretty sure you can get them at Walmart and the like. The only draw back is it gets pretty heavy after awhile carrying binoculars, extra batteries for camera and scanner, sunblock, bottle of water... you get the idea. First day is always the worst because that's when I do my shopping for new shirts. Gets lighter later in the week.

I always carry a backpack at Oshkosh, like a student backpack. As hot as it's been, you need to carry some water with you, camera, rain poncho, daily purchase's.
I use a messenger bag from Land's End purchased back in '08. However, it's not shown in their current online catalog. I did see similar bags in Sporty's Wright Bros catalog. These bags have a WWII military design flavor and they look good to me.
I, too, used my kid's school backpack in prior years to carry all the Oshkosh stuff I tend to accumulate every day.
