One would think finding a supple leopard shirt would be so easy after the successful 2nd edition of Becoming a Supple Leopard published by Victory Belt Publishing. With over 500 videos on his MobilityWOD.com website, Kelly Starrett is a virtual YouTube sensation. He’s teaching correct movement that in-turn helps with preventing injury in almost any situation. I know what is a supple leopard thanks to the insights on page 17 of the book but finding a supple leopard shirt proved to be entirely futile.
Sadly, this is about as close as you’ll get to an authentic Supple Leopard Shirt today. While the book is fantastic, I can’t say the same for the t shirts using this brand name. Fact is, I didn’t find any and the one I did, just have a picture of a purple generic leopard on it. Excuse me, that’s a leopard, not the same as a Supple Leopard made famous by Kelly Starrett or as some call him, K-Star. It is time there is a real shirt to show your appreciation for this movement and mobility system.
CrossFit is incredibly successful and with the movement that Kelly Starrett created, you’d think a shirt would be a no-brainer. The marketing department dropped the ball on this one. I can find all kinds of crappy one-liner hardcore workout shirts (hardcore!; go HAM; blah blah) but not a good jersey that shows my new found love of mobility.

At least with Where’s Waldo, he was hard to find but he did exist. This is more like a needle in a haystack or simply does not exist yet.
Where Can I Find a Supple Leopard Shirt You Ask?
Honestly I don’t think at the time of this writing you can. Unless you steal the logo and wording, which breaks copyright laws, your best bet is to buy a generic shirt with a purple leopard. Most people will think you like cats.
Your Best Hope for a Supple Leopard Shirt:
- RogueFitness Apparel – best bet but nothing really that comes close.
- Pinterest Board – Really? A purple leopard? This is the best we can do folks?
- Supple Leopard Shirt from ConquerEverything – still a terrible design but closer than anything I’ve found so far
Even without a shirt, the book is still worth taking a look at if you don’t already own it.
