Vegan Food T-Shirts

Posted On: 2006/05/31 - 18:10

We have been considering making some vegan-food.net t-shirts and would love to get some feedback from our users.

We have two ideas so far:

I keep going back and forth on this design. Sometimes I think that its hillarious and other times I think it goes too far.

We still need to decide on the T-Shirt colors and if we can even afford to get them made. Give us your feedback! Are we insane? Yay!

I think the junkie shirt is a bit unconventional. The tofu champion shirt is much better.

I think its one of those things that seems like a great idea in your head... I did say we are insane though, so there is our excuse :-p

I honestly don't know why you would think the suringe image is going too far, it's absolutely hilarious and I see shirts on a daily basis that are in a completely different league of vulgarity. Now if the image was of an actual heroin junkie passed out in a pool of his own vomit and it said "vegetable junkie" at the bottom, that MIGHT be going a bit too far, but I'd still laugh if I saw it. Cheers!

And I forgot to add, my girlfriend and I just don't get the tofu champion image. Is it a spoof on some other product, or is it just not supposed to be funny?

Thanks for the kudos!

"Tofu Champion" was just a random thought that popped into the head of the artist that helped make the images and I thought it would make for a funny t-shirt. We started off with a single block of tofu with the laurel wreath around its head, but in the end went with lots of blocks. I was kind of hoping for a "thats so wierd its funny" type of shirt.

I think vegetable eating and being a junkie cannot be placed on a level like this. Okay, it's hilarious in a way, but what do people think who don't understand the joke like it's supposed to? What kind of image do they get of the vegetable eating community?

[Reply] - [link] - Shocking - [mincus] - 2006/06/04 - 10:25

But maybe thats a good thing?

It's shocking enough that it could bring attention to you and be a great starting point to talk about your beliefs on the whole food industry and why you are a vegetarian/vegan.

I love the thoughts about this, keep them comming! Maybe I need to whip up a poll/voting feature for v-f?

I would not go with the syringe, I think its tacky and negative, not funny,just my opinion....Are you looking at any other ideas, Im thinking something funny but not something that can send the wrong message at the same time. G

[Reply] - [link] - Have at 'em - [mincus] - 2006/06/06 - 11:23

We'd love to hear any ideas that you or anyone else has!

Feel free to send them to our email or just post them here.

What about a bowl of talking fruits or veggies....with cartoon clouds above each one, with a funny but thoughtful comment in each of them. Colorful, eyecatching and positive message...and definitely could be a conversation starter.

[Reply] - [link] - umm - [afinity] - 2006/06/06 - 23:04

thats a dumb idea.

[Reply] - [link] - I say... - [shftleft] - 2006/06/06 - 19:45

Stick with the "junkie" shirt, I don' t think it's in bad taste at all. Puts a funny spin on what is otherwise a problem that is exploited in the media all the time.

MMMM - Pig.

[Reply] - [link] - YEAHHH!! - [Shibouky] - 2006/06/07 - 17:41

This T-Shirt is amaising... If it was for sale I would buy it and wear it proudly. I really really think the Veggy junkie joke is funny!!

keep the good work

[Reply] - [link] - OMG - [hugz4earth] - 2006/06/08 - 13:04

I would so wear the Veggie Junkie shirt....dude got any samples? lol that is the coolest shirt ever!

[Reply] - [link] - nope - [hammy711] - 2006/06/18 - 13:11

ya i didn't really like either of them. they weren't that funny no offense. there could be things a lot funnier and a lot less offensive. and i thought the syringe was just weird. i hope im not being too critical.

[Reply] - [link] - Feedback - [mincus] - 2006/06/23 - 10:53

I appreciate the feedback. It seems that it is either love or hate with this one.

[Reply] - [link] - shirt - [woo_hollie] - 2006/06/21 - 21:25

i like the tofu one it is really creative

[Reply] - [link] - vegan food t-shirt - [avabell] - 2006/06/24 - 16:50

i wear them both

[Reply] - [link] - Vegetable junkie - [Janerose] - 2006/07/02 - 10:18

the shirt doesn't make me want to eat veggies. if that's the reaction, it seems to defeat your purpose, no?
