Evil Olive was born out of a late-night text thread between two lifelong friends, Jason and Scott, who—like all truly strange and wonderful friendships—bonded over a shared love of clever wordplay, weird trivia, and a deep appreciation for things that read the same forward and backward.

One day, someone said “Evil Olive”, and that was it. The name stuck. It was weird. It was symmetrical. It was perfect.

We realized there was nowhere to buy a shirt that said “Do geese see God?”

Or “UFO Tofu.”

Or “Taco Cat.”

So we made them ourselves.

What is Evil Olive?

Evil Olive is a design-forward, palindrome-powered apparel brand for people who like their humor smart, their fashion fun, and their language deliciously nerdy. We create limited-edition t-shirts (and more) featuring some of the world’s best palindromes—many you’ve never seen on clothing before.

We believe a good palindrome is like a good design: balanced, clever, and worth a second look.

And we’re just getting started.
