GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
The Amoco Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt is built around a brand story familiar to generations of American motorists. It nods to Standard Oil of Indiana, formed around the Whiting Refinery, and to the Amoco name that later became a fixture of Midwestern and national service-station culture. The torch-and-oval legacy connects refinery history, classic road travel, Chicago business heritage, and the enduring appeal of old gasoline advertising. A strong layer for collectors and enthusiasts.
Amoco began with Standard Oil Company of Indiana, formed in 1889 by John D. Rockefeller around the Whiting Refinery on Lake Michigan in Whiting, Indiana. Independent after the 1911 Standard Oil trust breakup, Indiana Standard opened its first service station in Minneapolis in 1912 and held rights to the Standard name across much of the Midwest. It absorbed the Baltimore-founded American Oil Company in 1925, bringing the American and Amoco names into its retail identity. The familiar torch-and-oval image joined Standard and Amoco branding in 1946. American Oil's lead-free premium gasoline, later Amoco Super-Premium, preceded the nationwide phaseout of leaded fuel by decades. Pan-Am stations in the Southeast were rebranded Amoco in 1956, and by 1971 the company’s divisions used the Amoco name. Standard Oil Company of Indiana officially became Amoco Corporation in 1985. Headquartered in Chicago's Amoco Building, the company merged with BP in December 1998 as BP Amoco; the company name became BP in 2001. BP announced a selected-market Amoco station return in 2017.
