    Do people really do that? I can’t stand big, or any, logo on my clothing to be honest. I’d rather be solid colors or prints with better quality fabric than a specific brand. IDK if it’s the ADHD or the autism, but I hate logos on clothes.

    The only “apparel” item I have with branding I have is a backpack with a Supreme look alike fake logo that just says Pretentious.

      My dude, all fancy, expensive brand have their logo plaster on their product. Uniqlo sell BRAND printed on their shirt, depend on who they work with at the time. People also wear shirt with band or pop culture printed on it as well. People pay premium price for bags like chanel or lv just for that logo. Ford have their stupid name displayed in ultra large size on their stupid truck front grille. It’s all brand ads.

      All the “luxury” clothes with big logos are low tier variants and the really luxury ones have more decent design.

      At least that’s what I’ve heard, I don’t buy “luxury” brands, I like my clothes clean and brand free.

      I wear band t-shirts, but I feel like wearing a T-shirt the bassist handed to you at a show is s different category

      It’s neither; you are just a person of some integrity and intelligence. Nothing wrong with paying more for quality and durability, but if you’re paying more to be a walking ad, well… let’s just say it’s not flattering look. (I get that not everyone are sensitive to these things though, and that unbranded clothes are hard to find.)

      I refuse to buy anything with a visible brand - I even remove the neck and washing labels inside of garments. When I bought it, it’s mine, it’s not [brand name]s anymore. Sneakers and similar shoes are harder to find unbranded, sometimes you can remove sown-on labels, sometimes I even tape over labels with black tape.

      It actually makes wearing the clothes a much better experience as well. Instead of thinking that I’m wearing a shirt from [expensive brand], I see the shirt for what it is.

      I didn’t pay much attention to the fact that I was an advertisment, but in the last few years I realized it and got really intolerant of ~any cloth that uses its brand name/logo as its design. (And I prefer it even more if there is no logo of the company on the outside of the cloth at all.)

      They should do better, they should come up with better designs or just use plain colors. I dont want to have their brand name on me.

      (They could also play with the shape, not just the colors of the clothes, but gendered/fast fashion has decided that men shouldn’t have many options, especially on that aspect…)

      Yeah. Logo chasers. They’re insecure and not financially clever. Big brands, especially sport brands, have made a fortune preying on the socioeconomically burdened. To be seen with their logo is a “success story” or some shit.

      Most people just see “a bag” or “a shirt” or whatever, so obviously a brand known for overpricing doesn’t say much for self-secuity; financially or socially. There’s a massive and lucrative market in doing minimal effort to plug people’s insecurities, logos is one of them.

      My only “branded” shirts are from Jog-a-thon fundraisers that my company donates our time to help.

      Edit… also a couple nasa shirts and one from the ESA.

      I have a coca cola shirt that I’ve owned and worn for like a decade.

      I don’t actually know where it came from, though. I’m pretty sure I never bought it.

      You might have grown up richer than others

      People who were/are poor really want these logos to convince others they have money…even if it’s something as dumb as an Apple product
