Heads Up: Our Latest Blipshift Drop Is Live with 80s Icons and Tame Racing Drivers [Update: One Day Left!]

Another sweet batch of shirts is waiting for you in our Blipshift store, but you've got just one more day to get yours before they head back into the vault.
Five Blipshift t-shirts as part of The Drive's merch drop, with the words "New Merch" overlaid

Our merch collab with Blipshift keeps on rolling. We’ve broken another five classic tees out of the Blipshift vault, and they’re available for just one more day before they’re locked away again. Get ’em while you can!

For this wave, you can pick up High Five, Japan Rally Champ, Preferred Choice, Turbo Lover, and Vitruvian Racer. As always, our retro logo is still available too, and that’ll remain a fixture even as we swap in new designs. You can find ’em all at our Blipshift store page, but be advised: this drop ends tomorrow, at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 15, 2026. After that, these tees go back to wherever the McRib lives.

For those unfamiliar with Blipshift, the site has built a trove of fun, clever, and just plain cool enthusiast-themed designs over the years, but new shirts are dropped only briefly before they’re removed from sale. That’s where we come in: The Drive’s reviving some of our favorite classic Blipshift pieces, and, even better, if there’s one you’d like to see return, you can always let us know and we’ll see to it that it gets some love.

Every design is available not just as a tee, but in long sleeves, as a hoodie, and even as wall art. Blipshift’s chill like that. Here are the goods:

After this drop is done, on Thursday 10/15, the next one will start two weeks after that, on Friday 10/30. It’s two weeks on, two weeks off, etc. You never know what’s going to make the cut, so keep your eyes peeled. The next two drops last from 10/30 to 11/12, and then from 11/27 to 12/10. If you need some Christmas gift ideas, you’ve come to the right place.

Another thing: this apparel is all made on demand, so production doesn’t begin until after each sale ends. That way, Blipshift knows how many to crank out. In other words, it may take a few days to weeks after you place that order before you have fresh merch on your doorstep. Patience, right?

And finally, if there’s a Blipshift design you’ve been dying to see make a comeback, send your requests to feedback@thedrive.com. Heck, if you have any ideas for new designs we’ve never seen before, we’d love to hear those too.
