Size Chart
Please check the size guide before ordering.
Bob’s Lore accepts no responsibility for shirts that fit like a tent, cling like a bad decision, or restrict movement during Tuesday-related leg incidents.
Measure yourself, compare carefully, and remember: confidence is not a size.
If in doubt, size up. You can always look relaxed. You cannot always breathe.

Return & Refund policy
Our goal is for every Bellend to be properly satisfied with their loot.
If your order arrives and something feels wrong, cursed, Tuesday’d, directionally optimistic, or clearly inspected by Bob in a field, let us know.
We’ll do our best to put it right, apply the necessary cultural maintenance, and avoid creating arrears with the Bank of Bellends.
Shipping
We’ll work quickly to get your loot packed, logged, and sent before Bob wanders off into a field with it.
Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive an email with further details, assuming the message survives Tuesday, navigation errors, and any unexpected shed-based delays.
Delivery times vary depending on your location, local conditions, and whether the route passes anywhere near Nadbor.
Five Warning Signs. Zero Preparation. One Bob Who Thinks Everything Is Fine.
Surviving in DayZ requires several important skills.
Finding food.
Finding water.
Staying warm.
Treating injuries.
And perhaps most importantly, recognising when your character is about to die.
Fortunately, the game provides a collection of very helpful indicators.
Clear little symbols.
Conveniently displayed on the screen.
Designed to tell you when something has gone horribly wrong.
Unfortunately, Bob appears to have mistaken these for decorative features.
THE HUD IS NOT OPTIONAL, BOB.
The apple is red.
The water is red.
The blood is red.
The health is red.
The temperature is blue.
And Bob has just announced that he's going to investigate something suspicious.
Because apparently, there's still time for one more adventure.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE DONT BOB.
THE ART OF NOT SURVIVING.
Most DayZ players begin their adventures with a relatively straightforward objective.
Stay alive.
Find supplies.
Improve their equipment.
And avoid unnecessary situations that might result in losing everything.
Bob has developed a more adventurous interpretation.
He has somewhere to go.
He has something to investigate.
He may have heard a suspicious noise.
He may have spotted another survivor.
Or he may simply have decided that running across several kilometres of countryside without sufficient food or water sounds like a perfectly reasonable afternoon.
Whatever the reason, the journey has begun.
PREPARATION CAN HAPPEN LATER.
Unfortunately, the basic requirements of survival do not share this enthusiasm.
Hunger continues.
Thirst continues.
Cold becomes increasingly unpleasant.
Injuries remain injuries.
And health has an unfortunate habit of reaching zero when neglected.
The Livonia Historical Society has studied this phenomenon extensively.
Its conclusion is simple.
BOB HAS A REMARKABLE ABILITY TO MAKE SURVIVAL MORE COMPLICATED THAN NECESSARY.
THE FIVE INDICATORS OF DOOM.
The Society has identified five warning signs commonly associated with the DONT BOB phenomenon.
Each represents an important survival requirement.
Each provides clear information.
And each has apparently been ignored at some point because Bob was busy doing something more interesting.
ONE: THE BLUE THERMOMETER.
Bob is cold.
This might suggest that he needs shelter.
Warmer clothing.
A fire.
Or perhaps to stop standing around in the rain discussing something completely unrelated.
All sensible suggestions.
Unfortunately, there's a building over there that he hasn't checked yet.
THE TEMPERATURE PROBLEM WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
TWO: THE RED APPLE.
Bob is hungry.
Not peckish.
Not considering a light snack.
Properly hungry.
The sort of hungry that suggests his character should probably find something edible before attempting another lengthy expedition.
Chat has noticed.
Chat has mentioned it.
Several times.
Bob has acknowledged the situation.
He will find food shortly.
Probably in the next town.
Or perhaps the town after that.
Unfortunately, the apple is not impressed by promises.
THE APPLE REMAINS RED.
THREE: THE RED WATER INDICATOR.
Dehydration.
Another entirely avoidable problem.
DayZ contains wells.
Water bottles.
Canteens.
Several methods of obtaining the basic liquid required to remain alive.
Bob is aware of these.
Yet somehow, water continues to become a recurring emergency.
Perhaps he passed a well.
Perhaps he forgot to fill his container.
Perhaps he became distracted by somebody talking in the distance.
Whatever happened, the water indicator is now red.
And Bob has decided that investigating the next building is more important.
THE HYDRATION DEPARTMENT HAS REQUESTED AN URGENT MEETING.
Bob is unavailable.
He is running somewhere.
FOUR: THE RED BLOOD INDICATOR.
At some point during the adventure, things have become violent.
Perhaps infected were involved.
Perhaps another survivor.
Perhaps Bob found himself in the middle of a situation that sensible people would have avoided.
Whatever the circumstances, his blood level is now dangerously concerning.
For most survivors, this would be a strong indication to stop, recover and reconsider their immediate priorities.
Bob, however, has just spotted another interesting opportunity.
THE BLOOD LOSS CAN WAIT.
According to Bob.
The blood indicator strongly disagrees.
FIVE: THE RED HEALTH SYMBOL.
The final warning.
The ultimate indication that the situation has become deeply unfortunate.
Health is critically low.
Food is desperately needed.
Water would be helpful.
Warmth is becoming important.
And further unnecessary confrontations would be an exceptionally poor idea.
Surely this is the moment to stop.
Find somewhere safe.
Regroup.
Recover.
And avoid doing anything remotely adventurous.
Unfortunately, Bob has just said:
"I'M JUST GOING TO HAVE A LOOK."
The Livonia Historical Society considers this an immediate cause for concern.
THE RED HEALTH ICON IS NOT A SUGGESTION.
It is a warning.
One that Bob has apparently decided to investigate later.
THE ELK PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE.
Eventually, Bob's remarkable approach to survival became sufficiently recognisable that it developed into a community warning.
Over on Elk's stream, a command appeared.
!dontbob
A short instruction.
A simple reminder.
And one of the most useful lessons ever learned from watching somebody repeatedly make questionable decisions.
When the command is triggered, StreamElements delivers the following message:
"About to do something you'll regret? Before you do, remember to do what Bob doesn't!"
Beautiful.
Concise.
And surprisingly practical.
Because sometimes the best way to understand what you should do is to consider what Bob would forget.
Has Bob eaten?
Probably not.
Have you eaten?
Excellent.
Has Bob found water?
Not necessarily.
Have you?
Wonderful.
Has Bob stopped to address his injuries?
Possibly.
After several reminders.
And after becoming involved in something else.
DO WHAT BOB DOESN'T.
The Society considers this a significant improvement over the traditional approach of simply shouting survival advice at the stream and hoping it gets noticed.
Now the entire warning has been condensed into two words.
DONT BOB.
THE OFFICIAL LHS SURVIVAL PROCEDURE.
For the benefit of future survivors, the Society has prepared a simple checklist.
Before beginning any expedition, ask yourself the following:
Am I cold?
Am I hungry?
Am I thirsty?
Am I bleeding?
Am I dangerously low on health?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, perhaps address the situation.
Before heading into the wilderness.
Before investigating suspicious noises.
Before approaching armed strangers.
Before deciding that the next town will probably contain everything you need.
And definitely before announcing that everything is fine.
The Society believes this procedure could prevent a considerable number of unnecessary deaths.
Unfortunately, it requires somebody to actually follow the instructions.
BOB HAS NOT YET CONFIRMED COMPLIANCE.
He was last seen running towards something interesting.
THE WARNING BECOMES A UNIFORM.
Which brings us to the design.
Across the upper front sits a bold white message.
DONT BOB.
Beneath it, five familiar DayZ-inspired status indicators.
A blue thermometer.
A red apple.
A red hydration symbol.
A red blood indicator.
And a red health cross.
Five little pictures.
One extremely worrying survival assessment.
To another DayZ player, the icons are immediately recognisable.
Cold.
Starving.
Dehydrated.
Low blood.
Low health.
THIS PERSON IS NOT DOING WELL.
To a Bellend, however, the message is more specific.
It's Bob.
Running around half-starved.
Looking for water.
Probably injured.
With several indicators providing increasingly urgent warnings.
And absolutely convinced that the next questionable decision will somehow improve the situation.
THE FIVE ICONS OF UNDESERVED OPTIMISM.
Because apparently, confidence is the only thing Bob never runs out of.
THE ART OF WEARING A WARNING.
There is something wonderfully appropriate about turning a survival warning into a T-shirt.
Normally, safety advice appears on signs.
Posters.
Instruction manuals.
Official notices.
Perhaps a helpful message displayed somewhere obvious.
But within Bob's community, the warning has become clothing.
Something you can wear to the pub.
Something you can wear while gaming.
Something you can wear while watching Bob make another entirely avoidable mistake.
And something that allows other DayZ players to recognise immediately that you understand the importance of not treating your survival indicators as optional decoration.
THE HUD HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED.
Whether Bob will ever do the same remains uncertain.
THE CLASSIC SURVIVOR'S T-SHIRT.
The structured classic unisex fit makes this an easy everyday option, with a clean shape that works well on its own or layered beneath a hoodie or jacket.
The bold white lettering and colourful survival indicators stand out against the pictured Black fabric.
The design is simple.
Recognisable.
And sufficiently direct that even somebody who has never heard of Bob can appreciate that it probably represents a warning.
Of course, explaining the warning is another matter entirely.
You may need to introduce Bob.
Explain DayZ.
Describe the survival indicators.
Discuss the recurring food emergencies.
Explain Elk's command.
And eventually clarify why an entire gaggle of Bellends considers the phrase DONT BOB a perfectly reasonable piece of life advice.
By which point, the person who asked may have gone home.
The Society recommends the short explanation.
"He's very bad at remembering to eat."
Most people will understand.
THE FINAL SURVIVAL REPORT.
Five warning signs.
One increasingly concerning survivor.
One community command.
And an entire historical record of completely avoidable survival emergencies.
The temperature is blue.
The apple is red.
The water is red.
The blood is red.
The health is red.
And Bob has just announced that he's heading towards something interesting.
The Livonia Historical Society strongly recommends against this course of action.
Bob has not acknowledged the recommendation.
He is already running.
DONT BOB.
Eat something.
Drink some water.
Stay warm.
Deal with your injuries.
And perhaps stop treating the basic requirements of staying alive as optional side quests.
Do what Bob doesn't.
Product Details
This classic unisex T-shirt features a bold DONT BOB front print, combining large white lettering with five coloured DayZ-inspired survival indicators.
The symbols represent temperature, food, hydration, blood and health, celebrating Bob's famously questionable approach to maintaining his character's basic needs.
The design draws inspiration from Bob's tendency to continue adventuring while cold, hungry, thirsty, injured and dangerously low on health, together with Elk's !dontbob stream command.
The classic fit gives the T-shirt a comfortable, structured appearance that works well on its own or layered with casual streetwear.
The pictured Black garment provides a striking background for the white lettering and blue and red survival indicators.
Perfect for Bellends, DayZ enthusiasts, Elk's community, survival gaming fans and anyone who understands that eating and drinking before nearly dying is generally a sound strategy.
Five icons. One warning. Absolutely no survival guarantees.
Disclaimers
Wearing this T-shirt does not automatically improve your survival skills.
It does not provide food.
It does not provide drinking water.
It does not restore blood.
It does not regenerate health.
It does not prevent hypothermia.
And it certainly does not guarantee that Bob will remember to eat before running towards another completely avoidable problem.
The printed survival indicators are decorative gaming-inspired artwork and do not monitor the wearer's physical condition.
The blue thermometer is not a working temperature sensor.
The red apple does not contain emergency calories.
The hydration indicator does not dispense drinking water.
The blood indicator is not a medical device.
And the health cross cannot determine whether you're about to make a spectacularly poor decision.
The phrase DONT BOB is a community joke and should not be interpreted as professional medical advice, survival training or a guarantee that following Bob's example will always result in disaster.
This product does not include food, water, bandages, medical supplies, blood bags, saline, emergency equipment, successful navigation or protection against unexpected Tuesdays.
The cotton fabric provides comfort, not protection against severe weather, infected attacks or questionable survival decisions.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for ignored status indicators, preventable freshie deaths, unnecessary confrontations, missed meals or anybody shouting "DONT BOB" at complete strangers.
Due to fabric properties, a White colour variant, if offered, may appear off-white rather than bright white.
Dark speckles are normal for the Natural colour variant, if offered.
The supplier is transitioning to single collar topstitching, so some orders may contain the previous double-topstitched collar finish.
Do not use the T-shirt as a substitute for appropriate protective clothing in hazardous conditions.
Do not attempt to treat the printed blood or health icons with actual medical supplies.
Do not assume that wearing this design qualifies you to provide survival training.
And do not ignore genuine hunger, dehydration, illness or injury simply because Bob occasionally appears to.
The indicators are decorative.
The warning is cultural.
The responsibility to remain alive is still yours.
Made to Order
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order.
Unlike Bob's survival preparation, which occasionally appears to begin only after several indicators have turned red, each T-shirt is manufactured on demand rather than produced in unnecessary quantities.
This may mean a little more production time, but it helps reduce overproduction, unwanted stock and warehouses filled with survival warnings that nobody has remembered to read.
Making products on demand rather than in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making a thoughtful purchasing decision.
The Livonia Historical Society has reviewed the arrangement.
Your T-shirt will be manufactured.
The warning will be printed.
The five survival indicators will remain visible.
And Bob's next meal remains entirely his own responsibility.
