Alright folks there have been several requests for some cool Paleo Solution t-shirts, but since Robb and I aren’t very creative we thought perhaps you had some good ideas. Here is your chance to help design our first t-shirt – please post any ideas on graphics, slogans etc. to the comments of this post or email me. Thanks!
Please please please have it say “Six Listeners Can’t Be Wrong!” I’d wear that with pride!
You could even do a series with various Robb-isms like “Holy Cats!” and “Five Fries!” and something about the pseudo-science.
Yeah! They should be like “limited edition” in different colours, like vintage vinyl. OH yeah man, i have a “Holy Cats” in RED!
I sent an email to your facebook page a couple of days ago. I will resend one to you at this email address tomorrow when I get in to work.
“Eat paleo. So easy even a caveman could do it”.
“Look, feel, and perform better. No big deal.”
“I eat bacon to stay in shape.”
“””I eat bacon to stay in shape.”
“ask me about my love for meats and vegetables.”
“bread, you are dead to me” (i say this in my head a lot)
Would love the “bread, you are dead to me”. A doc at work brings bagels in twice a week, a Paleo Co-worker and I always shout “Bagels are the Devil!”
“did you just yell AMERICA before you ate that 14oz steak?”
you could do a retro parody of ‘mane n tail’ shampoo label, except not violating the copyright it would have to be like “hair n arse” or something… the font is common enough and you could substitute cavemen for the horses… weird but it could work
I am not that clever either. But when you see the food pyramid you know they are trying to convey healthy ideas in picture forum without the blah blah blah. Quick visual.
How about playing around with that. Basically the diet turns the whole pyramid upside down in a way. Maybe upside down pyramid. Then the widest part on top put lean meats and fish. Make up a Paleo upside down new food pyramid.
Another idea is to put poison X over a picture of dairy stuff and grain stuff and sweet stuff and salt shaker.
Maybe another thing about fast food. What was old is now new again. Show some animal running vs drive up. Maybe a cycle that shows caveman chasing antelope and then man driving up in fast food lane then another picture of modern guy in sneakers running after antelope. Kind of ties in the fitness and what to eat together?
The Ultimate Human diet.
Secrets from the Cave.
Eat Prey, Love.
Get in touch with your inner caveman. Show a drawing of a a ripped guy or gal.
I know pictures of cool bad ass cavemen would be what younger guys would like to wear I think. Maybe more than one design so you can appeal to broader audience.
I like the upside down pyramind idea. since you are taking conventional wisdom and flipping it over.
Thanks Nate. Also it lends a more educational flavor to it. Looks official. Folks might analyze it to see why that pyramid is upside down? Get them to look closer. Kids could wear it. It is taking a serious view of it. Freakonomics is very popular. What our assumptions are and then take a 360 degree turn on what we already assume or know.
“Eat Prey, Love.”
This. I’m still laughing.
Agreed. Love it!
thirded!
me too – LOVE IT
or maybe, “did you just yell AMERICA before you ate that 14oz steak and destroyed your 1RM DL PR?”
hoody with an all-over print of BACON diagonally across with hearts interspersed.
or just a t-shirt that says “mmmmmbacon.” i think there are already underwear available that say “I <3 bacon," so that's already done. am i wearing them? no comment.
or "who needs bread when you can eat more BACON"
LISTENER NUMBER 6
Love this one! We’re *all* listener #6 or is it #7?
This should be on the back of all the T-shirts 🙂
I second Erin on this!
totally – on the back of every shirt
Nice!
I’m looking forward to these designs and the potential to further alienate myself while at the supermarket or out to dinner.
this is what we are shooting for. The Lunatic Fringe.
Yes, one of the best comments ever!
Sorry cant draw but how about 6 caveman standing around a listening to a medicine man and his assistant
with a beard..
SIX LISTENERS CAN’T BE WRONG
HAHAHAHA picturing this one in my head in a cartoony rendition(similar to the site’s header) made me actually laugh out loud.
I LOVE this one!
this one is awesome!
HAHA this is great!!!
I want one!!!
I love this one. Not offensive, just funny, attention grabbing, and true!
More of a bumper sticker
Wheat is murder
Either that or “Agriculture is murder.” Then we’ll have big agra on our backs! ACK!
Multi-grain = Multi-pain
The Paleo Solution
“If everyone followed the food pyramid off the cliff, would you?” Seriously, would love something my 11-year-old son can wear to school as well as his mama to the gym, and the library, and Target….
Thanks for ALL you do!
I like this one!
Kids t-shirts would be awesome!
“I eat Paleo. That makes me better than you.”
I just want to see one that somehow involves a buttercup. Somewhere, somehow, there must be a buttercup.
Especially on a Manly T. It’s no fun if its just on the girly ones.
The Paleo Solution: It’s almost worked for 200,000 years!
I like the: Fad diet since 3 million BC
On the front:
Paleo Solution
Fad Diet since 3 million BC
On the back:
Either outside down Food pyramid or 6 cavemen listening
Simple, clean and straight to the point.
Yeah I was thinking about that too. Something along the lines of It worked then and it still works now. But seemed lame. But putting it into context of Fad Diet since 3 million BC really kind of sums it up. But I would want to keep the word fad out of the conversation. Or how about…you know how they show how man started with ape and then shows bigger apes all the way to man? Well how about show Paleo man then neolithic man (shorter bad teeth etc) and man today even worse.
any chance we could make some of these made into patches for our bjj gi’s? i would love to have the “listener number 6” stitched to my leg! lol
wow, just noticed that my weird phrasing. must have had a wire crossed between my brain and the keyboard. sorry ’bout that. 🙂
Front: The Paleo Solution
Back: Give it a Shot
Back: Lifestyle, not Diet
Back: Jumping the Shark since XXXX
Eh, I will stop now.
I don’t have any ideas for artwork since I’m more autistic than artistic but here is my slogan:
“You talk about ketosis like it’s a bad thing”
SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Eating wheat causes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, hair loss, IBS, asthma, etc.
Maybe just have that printed small, like the actual warning label, in addition to whatever design you choose.
Does it cause hair loss? OMG if that is the case then my husband will be glad to hear that!
Gluten causes the Alopecia kind of hair loss, definitely. But going paleo hasn’t helped reverse my male pattern baldness… Sad face.
Working on the fonts now:
“6 listeners,
5 fries,
1 solution”
“The paleo solution” on the back.
No one will get it except those in the know…but I love it!
I love that!
this is awesome!
6 listeners,
5 fries,
4 everyone
3 your mind
2 health and longevity
1 solution
“The paleo solution” on the back.
Andy said it the other day: “Gluten is death. Coconut is magic.” I’d SO buy one of those…
I remember that. I love it!
I second this one!
love!
on the front of t-shirt, (big font) FDA=Murder (big font)
on the back of t-shirt, (small font)Paleo=Life (small font)
“The Meaning of Life… There’s Coffee, and then there’s Bacon”
http://www.zazzle.com/the_meaning_of_life_tshirt-235915280452752329
In a traditional sports jersey font (think 70’s squarish with rounded corners… on the front Paleo Solution in two arched bands. On the back, in place of your name on the jersey have “Listener” and then below it have a screened white box with only a black number sign to the left so people can decide what listener they are with a sharpie or something. Since there is always a disputed number of listeners and since Andy hates it, might as well let everyone decide for themselves. ha
I also completely back the “gluten is death. coconut is magic” shirt!
‘My other t-shirt is made of bacon’
“I’m not dead…I just have paralytic shellfish poisoning.”
OK…it’s not paleo, I’ve just always wanted a shirt that said that…you know…just in case.
Either front or back: “Ask me about your metabolic derangement.”
Graphically, I think it should be a simple gray (like this website) with letters in white and/or orange (like the book).
gilliebean – love this –
I absolutely love this one. It speaks to our (at least mine anyway) desire to help the deranged masses!
Paleo… It’s like speed!
Not sure if anyone has come up with this idea yet, but maybe there should be something comparing the “6 listeners” and the infamous “5 fries”.
The Gato is watching YOU!
“Paleolicious”
‘You know you’re paleo when you can do your weekly shop at the zoo.’
‘Eat like a caveman.
Lift like a caveman.
Sleep like a baby.’
I have nothing to contribute to these ideas except to say that they have given me an excellent laugh for the evening! Thanks to all!
“Largely Anecdotal”
or
“I am compelling, but largely anecdotal”
I would LOVE one that said “Gluten is death. Caffeine is life.” And maybe on the back it says paleosolution.com or whatever web addy you wanted it to point to.
Or if you did the generations thing.
100,000 generations hunted
400 generations farmed
3 generations microwaved (or 3 generations hit fast food)
Manimal would be all about designing a shirt for you Robb. We’re big fans and all about quality shirts with quality designs.
http://www.manimalwear.com
Shoot me an e-mail if you get a good tag line and want to see some mock up designs. It would be our pleasure.
George! I love my manimal shirt. I’ll email you.
Glad to hear it Robb!
“There’s a great new way to make vegetables into a tasty meal! Feed them to animals.”
Robb, I’ll be down to see you and Nicki next month with my gym/affiliate business partner. I’ll bring you two (and Andy) a couple of our newest shirts.
P.S: A favorite of mine is . “I ate a Vegetarian for breakfast.” on the front. Paleo Solution on the back.
Had a slogan idea for a while that I wanted to turn into a t-shirt. I was thinking some sort of food graphic with “Just like nature used to make.” Maybe you guys can run with that
“Paleo. It’s not science rocket…”
“Eat Like A Caveman, Look Like A God”
“Helping folks look good naked since 3 million BC”
The headshot of Robb that used to be the on the website (the one that creeps him out)with a voice bubble coming out with Robb Wolf-ism’s (i.e. Holy Cats!, Just fracken try it!, etc.)
All shirts could have a small “The Paleo Solution Podcast” logo on the back and say “Six listeners can’t be wrong”
LOL! I think this might give some folks nightmares!

those are some goodies!
Robb,
I actually had the idea of making some of these shirts and selling them with the profits going to buy your books for others or perhaps some other type charity. Like Steve’s Club or Survivor International. IDK, what do you think?
Survival International*
So easy a caveman did it.
My tee idea…not so much a Wolfism, but one to wear every February, specifically, in keeping with American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day (today): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1558062871399&set=a.1522288657066.2070162.1230074601 (one word not w/f/s)
Btw, my favorites are 1) 6 listeners, 5 fries, 1 solution (awesome), 2) I am compelling, but largely anecdotal, 3) eat, prey, love!
I’m a science and general knowledge nerd. I’d love to see something incorporating the Plato’s Allegory of the Cave in “The Republic”.
It seems like there could be so much potential: from the cave, from the “prisoner’s” lack of reality, to the philospher’s purpose being to enlighten the prisoners…

sorry, that doesn’t work either! damn blogspot!
please try this one – imageshack!

DUDDE! I love it!
So what’s going on with these? Are they in the works still? I submitted a shirt awhile ago. Just curious.
tinkering. trying to get content first fun stuff second!
T-shirt idea. Since a main idea around this is hyperinsulinism, I thought maybe a beta symbol with a line through it or surrounded by a stop sign. Since insulin is secreted by the beta cells. Just an idea.
Gluten = Death, Coffee = Life OR Death to Grains OR Hookers, Cocaine & Nor Cal Margaritas OR 6 Listeners Can’t Be Wrong OR You can have Fivvvee Fries
Are these available for purchase online? I heard the “Gluten = Death Coffee = Life” shirt referred to on podcast #43.
I WANT!
I looked for them in the shop section of the site, but no luck… just books…
We are still working on the shirts!
How about “Body by Bacon”
Or: “I look this good because I eat bacon”
Less Tasty, More Dangerous
Paleo, making it look really really ridiculously good since …?. BC
“Dude, just give it 30 days!”
“Gluten is death, Bacon is… mmm, bacon…”
“Meat, veggies and good fats! What wrong with that?!?!”
“6 listeners… No, that’s it.”
“Why argue with what works? Holy cats!”
Paleo Solutions and robbwolf.com on the opposite or same side.
“Lift heavy shit”
“Wheat kills”
“wolf pack”
