They didn’t want a copy — they wanted the real McCoy.
Elijah McCoy, a brilliant Black inventor and engineer, revolutionized mechanical lubrication with his automatic oiling system for trains and industrial machines. Patented in 1872, his invention allowed machines to run longer without stopping, changing the game for manufacturing and transportation.
McCoy held over 50 patents, and his work was so respected that buyers began asking for “the real McCoy” — refusing imitations of his quality designs.
This tee isn’t just about engineering. It’s about excellence. It’s about a Black man whose work was so essential, it became a catchphrase for authenticity.
Don’t settle for less. Represent the real McCoy. Wear the legacy of Elijah McCoy.
