Earlier this year, The Drive launched a new collaboration with Blipshift—the premiere purveyor of sweet car-themed clothing and merch—to revive some of Blipshift’s best out-of-production designs from the last 14+ years. It was a hit, and after taking a few months off to retool, I’ve got great news: We’re so back. Our next drop is officially live for the next two weeks with five new picks and lots more on the way. Read on for all the details.
If you’re catching up, Blipshift has produced thousands of incredible designs for enthusiast apparel over the years, with a catch. Each one is only on sale for a short time. Once the window closes, it’s gone forever. But that’s where we come in.
As an official partner, we have the ability to pull any design from Blipshift’s archive and put it back into production for a limited time, so that’s what we’re doing. Running through the greatest hits. Each drop features a selection of bangers picked by The Drive crew, all available on T-shirts, hoodies, posters, kid shirts, and even baby onesies.
For this batch, you’ve only got two weeks to grab the four revival designs: Maths, Rumble Racer, Build-a-Brick, and Dial 996. Miatas, Corvettes, Volvos, Porsches, a little something for everyone. But the fifth is a treat. Starting today, we’re also slinging a throwback shirt featuring our OG logo from the YouTube channel back in 2012 (real ones remember), also available in all the varieties list above, that will be permanently on sale on our Blipshift store page.
See the goods below, and don’t miss the important notes after that.

Once this drop ends on Thursday 8/20, the next one will start two weeks after that, on Friday 9/4. That’s how it’ll work for the rest of the year: two weeks on, two weeks off, etc. You never know what’s going to make the cut, so eyes up. Here are the dates for the calendar inclined:
- 9/4-9/17
- 10/2-10/15
- 10/30-11/12
- 11/27-12/10
Last thing: these are all made on demand, so production doesn’t start until after each sale ends so Blipshift knows how many to make. That means it’ll likely be a few weeks from your order date for the package to land on your doorstep. But good things take time, y’know?
If you ruined your favorite shirt long ago and want to score a new one, send your requests for revivals to feedback@thedrive.com. It just might show up in the next drop. Or let us know if you’ve got any great ideas for entirely new designs. We’re taking requests.
