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.
Do people really do that?
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.
IDK if it’s the ADHD or the autism, but I hate logos on clothes.
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.
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
If your luxury brand has a giant logo you are purchasing regular goods at an increased price.
Actual luxury brand items are typically not heavily branded.
I’ve got some old polo shirts from my dad’s closet that I still wear. The material is sturdy, easy to clean, and doesn’t noticeably fade over time. Tiny little logo on the breast, but it’s this shade of blue I swear you can’t find in stores anymore. Looks good, fits good, feels good on my skin. This shirt is easily 20 years old.
I got to the store to buy a new polo and the logo is practically across my chest. The stitching is already fraying. Fades after the first wash. Paper thin and easily torn. It’ll be in the rag pile inside two years.
They really don’t make’m like they used to
You can find good shirts, but polo has gone to shit. And a bunch of the major outlets have gone to shit. You can’t find decent clothes at Dillards or even Macys anymore. Its all been Walmart-ified.
And even the boutique brands very rapidly decay, once they cement their reputations as “high quality”.
They do the same with stickers here, spelling out entire phrases on the trunk, not just the frame license plate
You can tell them to remove it when they sell it to you but often times they try to get out of doing that, lack of tools or some bs.
Long story short, it’s why I own a plastic razor scraper
Unstickered about 2 dozen cars so far for people I know, ain’t much, but better than driving around with ads on your car.
The last car I purchased had the dealership plates + stickers on the trunk and window, I told the dealership that I love the car and everything about it but I’m not willing to purchase a vehicle at that price while it has advertisements on it unless the cost gets lowered by about 3 Grand. They fought it a little , but when they realized that I was firm on it they ultimately decided that they would remove the logo on it to make the sale.
That being said never let them con you into saying well you can remove the logo yourself, cuz if you end up screwing up taking those logos off(some of those stickers are REALLY on there) you’re out the cost where if they screw up taking that logo off you can always walk away or they can fix their screw up
Just make sure that you are indeed willing to walk away if it’s not something they budge on, cuz it is definitely possible that they will just say well then don’t buy the vehicle
If they do it after you pay for the car, sure. Before you give them any money, it’s their car to do as they see fit.
Imagine buying a painting and they srpay paint a red X on it before handing it to you.
The dealership frame ended up causing an annoying rattle on mine whenever the car hit a bump. Having it on there meant the license plate was less secure and it would shake in response to the slightest disturbance. Even closing a door would cause an audible rattle from the rear.
Needless to say I’ve also removed the frame from mine.
take off the ugly license plate frame that advertises the dealership.
I was going to remove mine, but I live in Silicon Valley and it’s a broken frame from a failed startup (Beepi) I bought the car from, so I feel like it kinda adds some Silicon Valley character to the car. LOL
It’s also screwed on using one-way screws so I’ll have to figure out how to remove those.
As it is, the convention that vehicles already sport their manufacturer’s branding plastered on both the front and back is already obnoxious.
Public roads cannot be traversed without seeing dozens, hundreds or thousands of instances of $CAR_BRAND.
I suppose that makes me a proponent of debranding, wherein company logos and emblems are removed.
I think in the UK legally you have to have the manufacturer of the registration plate on it to combat fraud / cloning. But it’s tiny text you can only see close up
This pisses me off so hard, I refuse to buy apparel that has anything more than a logo on it. I am giving you my money for your design, I’m not paying you to be a walking billboard I’m paying you to have clothing on my body. It’s becoming increasingly harder nowadays to buy clothing that doesn’t have a quarter of the item taken up by some sort of brand name on it it’s ugly as shit and annoying
I’ve recently had to forgo my favorite style because you can no longer find it without having it plastered with brand or logo, it’s just a simple pair of sweatpants with a racing stripe down the side it does not need a brand name that takes quarter of the leg
If you like nice shirts with no design or logo, Kohl’s has some really comfortable shirts in several colors and no logo at all. They’re some of my favorite shirts right now.
The cheaper the item, the bigger the brand.
Store brand tshirts from places like C&A are often entirely plain, meanwhile expensive brands like Gucci are all about plastering their logo everywhere. I’d be surprised if Gucci shirts actually had lower production costs than C&A shirts.
There’s a difference between consumer luxury goods and actual luxury goods which are typically unbranded and bespoke.
Even brands like gucci and their line up, their entry level will have bigger brand logos, because they know people who buy entry level gucci are people who want to show the world they have gucci. Real rich people will buy something more cleaner looking.
