Blue Collar Sticker

The Blue Collar Sticker With the Classic Red Script

If you grew up looking at the red script on the side of a Coors Light can, you already know this aesthetic. The Blue Collar Sticker takes the same Americana red-script badge style — that retro beer-can typography, the high-contrast red on the silver-and-white field — and stamps the BCN brand mark on it instead.

This is the sticker for people who want the trade pride without the heavy-duty graphic. It looks at home on the back glass of a pickup, on the front of a Yeti cooler, on the side of a toolbox, on a hard hat, on a thermos, or on a bar fridge in the garage. Same waterproof vinyl as every other BCN sticker. Different vibe.

It's the second-most-stuck sticker in the BCN lineup — most customers grab the Working Man anvil badge first, then come back for this one when they want a second BCN sticker that doesn't look identical to the first.

What the Blue Collar Sticker Is

The Blue Collar Sticker is a vinyl decal printed in the classic Americana red script style — red wordmark over a silver-and-white background, with the "Blue Collar" name rendered in the kind of vintage script lettering you'd see on classic beer can labels, old gas station signs, and the back glass of a 1990s extended-cab pickup.

It's printed on premium waterproof vinyl rated for indoor and outdoor use. The ink is UV-resistant — the red stays red through prolonged sun exposure. The adhesive is bubble-free for clean application on any smooth surface, and strong enough to hold through pressure washes, abrasion, hot truck cab interiors, and the kind of beating a hard hat sees on a real job site.

If the Working Man Sticker is the OG anvil badge, the Blue Collar Sticker is the Americana cousin — same brand, different mood.

Where It Goes

The Blue Collar Sticker is built for hard surfaces with a smooth or smoothly-curved profile:

• Truck windows, rear glass, and tailgates (the 4.5" Toolbox size for visibility from across a parking lot)
• Hard hats (the 2.5" Hard Hat size sits clean on the curved panel)
• Tool boxes — Snap-On, Milwaukee Packout, gang boxes (the 4.5" for shop visibility)
• Coolers and ice chests — Yeti, RTIC, generic styrofoam (the 4.5" is the right call here too)
• Welding hoods and hard hat brims
• Water bottles, thermoses, shaker bottles (2.5")
• Lunchboxes
• Bar fridges, gun safes, tool benches, and shop walls
• Phone cases, clipboards, and laptops (2.5")
• Bumpers and tailgates — built like a bumper sticker tailgating decal, fits the same use cases

If it's flat or smoothly curved and you don't want to glue it on, the Blue Collar Sticker sticks.

Two Sizes

2.5" x 1.6" (Hard Hat Size) — The compact size. Built for hard hat front or side panels, phone cases, water bottles, thermoses, lunchbox lids, and tighter spots where the 4.5" is too big. The most common BCN customer setup: one on the front of the hard hat, one on the side, one on the truck thermos, one on the lunchbox.

4.5" x 2.8" (Toolbox Size) — The visible-from-across-the-shop size. Built for tool boxes, truck windows, rear glass, tailgates, coolers, ice chests, and bar fridges. The red script reads sharp from 20+ feet away — built to do brand identity for the whole rig, not just the hat.

Most BCN customers end up grabbing both sizes — a 2.5" for the hard hat and a 4.5" for the truck. That two-sticker combo is the standard Blue Collar sticker pack most buyers settle on.

Want the OG Anvil Badge Instead?

The Blue Collar Sticker is the Americana red script version. If you'd rather have the classic round black-and-white anvil badge with the "For The Working Man" tagline, that's the Working Man Sticker. Same waterproof vinyl, same two-size lineup, same weatherproof build. Different design — Working Man is the OG trade badge; Blue Collar is the Americana red script. Most BCN customers end up with both — the Working Man on the hard hat, the Blue Collar on the truck.

Built for Anyone in the Trades

This is a blue collar sticker that fits whatever trade you work in. Welders, carpenters, concrete crews, plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, pipefitters, oilfield, warehouse, drivers, construction, and military — the script is brand identity, not job identity. Same brand mark you'll see on BCN supplements, hats, and the gear of customers across every trade.

Application & Removal

Clean the surface first with rubbing alcohol or soap and water — let it dry completely. Peel the sticker slowly off the backing. Set one edge down first, then press flat from that edge outward to push out any air bubbles as you go. Smooth it down with the side of your finger or a credit card.

Once it's on, it stays on. The adhesive holds through washes, weather, sun, and the inside of a hot truck cab in summer.

When you want to remove it, a steady pull at one corner lifts it cleanly off most surfaces — glass, painted metal, vinyl, plastic — without leaving residue. Hard plastic surfaces that have been in direct sun for years may need a little Goo Gone or adhesive remover for a fully clean lift. A blast of warm air from a hair dryer over the sticker before peeling makes removal easier in either case.

Stick the Brand on the Rest of It

If you want BCN on more than stickers, the Classic Hat Leather and Classic Hat PVC carry the brand mark in trucker hat form. If you wear tactical or operator-style gear with velcro panels, the BCN Velcro Patch swaps onto whatever you're running.

If you're building out a gift for a handy dad or a blue collar worker on your crew, a Blue Collar Sticker + Working Man Sticker combo is the cheapest pair-up in the BCN lineup that still gets used daily. The full lineup lives in the BCN Gear collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sticker waterproof? Yes. The Blue Collar Sticker is printed on premium waterproof vinyl with a weather-resistant adhesive. It holds up to rain, snow, pressure washes, high humidity, and high-pressure car washes without bubbling, peeling, or fading.

Will the red script fade in the sun? No. The ink and vinyl are UV-resistant — the red stays red through prolonged sun exposure. Years of direct outdoor exposure on a truck window or hard hat won't fade the red script the way cheap stickers do.

Why does the Blue Collar Sticker look like a Coors Light label? The design intentionally references the classic Americana red-script aesthetic — the kind of typography you'd see on old American beer cans, vintage gas station signs, and 1990s pickup truck back glass. It's a style, not a brand reference — the only brand on the sticker is Blue Collar Nutrition. If you grew up around that aesthetic, the Blue Collar Sticker fits right in.

What size is the Hard Hat version? 2.5" wide by 1.6" tall. Sized to fit the front or side panel of a standard hard hat. Also works on phone cases, water bottles, thermoses, lunchbox lids, welding hoods, and other smaller surfaces.

What size is the Toolbox version? 4.5" wide by 2.8" tall. Built for tool boxes, truck windows, rear glass, tailgates, coolers, ice chests, and bar fridges — anywhere you want the red script visible from across the shop or across the parking lot.

Will it stick to my truck window and survive the car wash? Yes. The 4.5" Toolbox size is rated for vehicle glass, painted body panels, bumpers, and tailgates. The vinyl survives every standard car wash including drive-throughs with high-pressure nozzles.

Will it leave residue when I remove it? On most surfaces — glass, painted metal, vinyl, plastic — it pulls off cleanly with a steady corner-lift, no sticky residue. A blast of warm air from a hair dryer before peeling makes removal easier on every surface. On hard plastic that has been in direct sun for years, a small amount of adhesive may remain, which comes off easily with Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol.

Is the Blue Collar Sticker dishwasher safe on a water bottle? We'd recommend hand-washing rather than dishwashering. The sticker itself is waterproof and the adhesive is strong, but repeat high-heat dishwasher cycles will eventually break down any sticker's adhesive layer. Hand-wash with mild soap to keep it lasting.

What hard hats does the Hard Hat version fit? The 2.5" x 1.6" size fits the curved front, side, or rear panel of all standard hard hats — MSA, Bullard, 3M, Lift Safety, Pyramex, and any other ANSI-compliant hard hat. The horizontal proportions sit flat on the curve without wrinkling at the edges.

Can I put it on a cooler or ice chest? Yes. The 4.5" Toolbox size is the right call for Yeti, RTIC, Igloo, and similar hard-sided coolers. The vinyl holds through ice water, condensation, and outdoor exposure without peeling.

Is the Blue Collar Sticker rated for indoor and outdoor use? Yes. The vinyl and adhesive are rated for both — bar fridge sticker, gun safe sticker, indoor shop wall sticker, outdoor hard hat, outdoor truck window — all fine.

What's the difference between the Blue Collar Sticker and the Working Man Sticker? Same waterproof vinyl, same weatherproof build, same two-size options. Different design — the Blue Collar Sticker is the Coors Light-style red script "Collar" badge in a classic Americana / vintage beer-can vibe. The Working Man Sticker is the OG round black-and-white anvil badge with the "For The Working Man" tagline. Pick the Blue Collar if you want the red script Americana look. Pick the Working Man if you want the OG trade badge. Most BCN customers grab both.

What surfaces does it NOT stick to? Anything textured, soft, or porous — fabric, raw wood, brick, concrete, foam, leather. The vinyl needs a flat or smoothly curved hard surface to bond properly.

Can I put it on a bumper or tailgate? Yes. The 4.5" Toolbox size works as a bumper sticker, tailgate decal, or rear-glass decal — sized and built for that exact application. It survives weather, road grime, and pressure washes.

Is the Blue Collar Sticker a die-cut sticker? The vinyl is printed and cut to the size dimensions listed (2.5" x 1.6" or 4.5" x 2.8"). If you have a question about whether it's die-cut to the script shape specifically, check the product photos — the cut style is visible in the listing images.
