Ohio State Buckeyes Block O Embroidery File

The standalone Block O in its purest form, no wordmark, no Brutus, no banner. The wide scarlet red octagonal letter body sits inside four concentric border rings: a black satin outer border tracing the full octagonal perimeter, a gray satin ring running parallel inside it, then the scarlet red letter body fill, a white satin ring at the inner counter boundary, and a black satin inner ring just inside that. The rectangular counter at center is open, garment color showing through. All four ring layers maintain parallel alignment and consistent width through every one of the eight clipped octagonal corners. Eleven sizes from 2 to 7 inches.

Eleven sizes from 2 to 7 inches wide. Minimum hoop required is 4x4 inches. Four thread colors: scarlet red, black, gray, and white.

Sizes and Stitch Counts

Embroidery Formats Included

26 formats included, compatible with virtually every home and commercial embroidery machine currently in use.

Recommended Uses

Cap fronts across the 3 to 4 inch range where the Block O reads as a clean primary mark, left-chest on polo shirts and fan jerseys, centered chest on hoodies and crewneck sweaters, sleeve badge placement at mid sizes, and premium NCAA fan merchandise for supporters who want the primary letter mark without the mascot or full wordmark. The scarlet red body reads strongly on both dark and light garments.

Stitching Tips

Stitch the ring layers in outward-to-inward sequence: black outer border first, then gray, then the scarlet red letter body, then the white inner ring, then the black counter ring. This order prevents earlier fills from being displaced by later passes. Use a medium-weight cutaway stabilizer on knit and stretch fabrics. At 2 and 2.5 inches on any textured fabric, apply water-soluble topping to keep all four ring layers clean and distinct through stitching.
