Most people have a vision, a dream, or a goal, that seems to most to be impossible. As former college hockey players building a brand out of our dorm room, we strive to fight against the odds, rise up, and accomplish our wildest dreams. We created Underdog Performance Drink so you can too. Our mission is simple: serve the overlooked—the athletes grinding for their shot—with a transparent, high-performance drink built for comebacks.

As a part of our Underdog ethos, we donate cans to those making an impact—shelter workers, healthcare professionals, and first responders—because real change takes real energy.

The Story Behind Our Logo

Over the course of 350 years until bull-baiting was banned in 1835, bulldogs were bred for aggression, and an 80-pound dog could easily bring down a bull weighing close to a ton by corkscrewing it's own body around it's neck, tossing the bull over it's own center of gravity. Despite a bulldogs lacking in size, it still finds a way, portraying our brand's message and logo.

For Dylan, Underdog isn’t just a brand—it’s a lifestyle built around passion, performance, and never settling.
