They need a better design for their merch.

Seems that most of these suggestions are about what men would like. I also registered MenAreGreat.shop, but that's for another time, for another audience, with other swag. Stay tuned! Working for boys right now. We haven't paid them nearly the attention they need.

Just curious, what would you do to make it better?

I'm not a designer so just a couple of general comments. First, I'd drop the star; it looks too young, like getting a star sticker. Second, I think they need a better slogan. While I like your tag line ("Men are Good") it doesn't translate well to boys/teenagers. Maybe something shorter, like "Boys Rock," with a cool font.

Finally, I think it world be cool to embrace the potential of the male archetypes. Maybe something like "Future King," "Warrior in Training," or "Magician's Apprentice."

And, interestingly, when I first searched for the "Boys are Great" merch I pulled up a couple of other sites. One was offering t-shirts that read: "BOYS ARE GREAT -- EVERY GIRL SHOULD OWN ONE." Another one read: "Boys Make Great Pets," and shoed a man on a leash.

Would it be acceptable to have anything like that about women?

Good feedback. It's Jack's site and designs and I was just interested in hearing your feedback. I also have a zazzle account and have never done anything with it. Maybe I should.

Yes, Tom, I'd be interested in merch with you slogan, "Men are Good!"

I'd like to have a t-shirt, hoodie, coffee cup, and car magnet.

How about a man and a bear drinking bourbon together in the woods? ;-)

Looks like it’s time for another Cataclysm!

What will it take? A “Heavenly Bombardment from the Taurid Asteroid Belt? If the impact or Lava-Hot Ejecta don’t get ya, the Climate Change - And I mean REAL Climate Change - will!

Is this what it will take for women - for SOCIETY -to appreciate men again?!?!?

Has society become this cruel and anti-intellectual? Maybe we need to get “Bombed back to the “Stone Age””!
