Ohio State Buckeyes Ice Dye

Ohio State ice dye is all about the scarlet. This Procion MX red is a pure, bright scarlet — warmer than a cool red but not as orange-toned as a vermillion — and it creates stunning results under ice. The dye splits into vivid crimson, bright red, and soft rose tones, creating a tapestry of reds that looks rich and dynamic.

The gray is created through controlled dye dilution and strategic negative space. Where the scarlet is lightest, the natural fabric tone shows through as a warm gray, and we sometimes add a very light application of a gray-toned dye to certain areas for definition. The gradient from deep scarlet through pink to gray happens naturally through the ice melt process.

For Buckeyes pieces, scarlet dominates — Ohio State fans want to see their red, and plenty of it. We use a crumple with heavy scarlet application and careful control of the lighter areas to create the gray counterpart. It's a bold, proud piece that screams O-H-I-O from across any tailgate lot.
