The story behind the design

The Drill, Baby, Drill Design

American energy built the modern world, and it started in 1859 at the first commercial oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Our Premium design is a 1950s oil-company sign: a lattice derrick against sun rays, “DRILL, BABY, DRILL” in a heavy vintage slab, and banners for “American Energy” and “Since 1859,” in Old Glory red, white and blue. Wear it to the rig, the ranch or the tailgate.

The artwork. American energy, lettered like a 1950s oil-company sign: a lattice derrick flying Old Glory from its crown and rising out of a half sunburst, on a nameplate reading “SINCE 1859” (the Drake Well at Titusville, Pennsylvania, the first commercial U.S. oil well, struck oil on August 27, 1859). “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” a rallying cry again since the January 20, 2025 inaugural address, stands in a heavy vintage slab over an “AMERICAN ENERGY” ribbon, in Old Glory red, white and blue.
