Some shirts are made for working.
Some shirts are made for remembering.
This one’s for both—at least until you spill coffee, grease, salsa, dip, or 30-weight on it.
The Golden State Drilling White Tribute Tee is a salute to a company that meant something to a whole lot of California oilfield hands. Golden State Drilling spent decades in the patch building a reputation the hard way—through long days, rough jobs, and the kind of men who knew that if you were early, you were on time, and if you were late, you’d better have a good story.
Back when GSD was running, a white short-sleeve logo shirt would’ve been a bold choice. White shirts and oilfields tend to have a short, messy relationship. But now that the old hands are buying their own tribute gear instead of pulling company shirts off the seat of a pickup, it feels about right. A little cleaner. A little sharper. Still full of grit.
This shirt features the full Golden State Drilling graphic on the back and the classic GSD logo on the front left chest, just like the long-sleeve setup—only now in a white short-sleeve version they never officially made. Think of it as the one GSD shirt you probably wouldn’t have worn to the rig... but you’ll sure wear to the barbecue, the reunion, the coffee shop, the parts counter, or anywhere old stories still get told.
It’s a tribute to the old rigs.
To the old ways.
To the crews who knew what “hurry up and wait” meant before it became a joke.
And to the fact that even if the company is gone, the pride sure as hell isn’t.
Wear it clean if you can.
Wear it dirty if you must.
Either way, the patch will probably win.
• 100% ring-spun cotton
• 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Quarter-turned to avoid crease down the center
Warning: this is a white shirt inspired by oilfield culture. In other words, it may remain white for only a limited amount of time. If you wear it near diesel, drilling mud, grease, Copenhagen, chili, or a tailgate lunch, you are assuming the risk like a grown roughneck.

Golden State Drilling White Tribute Tee
$35.00
Golden State Drilling never really did the white short-sleeve thing back in the day—too clean, too risky, too likely to come back from the patch looking like a mud check gone wrong. But times change. The rigs are quieter, the shirts are self-funded, and the old hands still know a good logo when they see one. This tribute tee puts the full Golden State Drilling graphic on the back and the classic GSD logo on the front left chest, giving a proper nod to the old rigs, the old ways, and the men who helped keep California turning.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a little longer to deliver it. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction—kind of the opposite of ordering ten extra shirts and letting them ride around in the doghouse of the truck for six months.
