Do you wear clothing whose names are displayed prominently?

[Deja Q]

You know:

Calvin Klein (is he a heterosexual?)
Tommy Hilfinger
Old Navy

et al?

Which market are these brand names catering to anyway?

[Kahuna]

1. Not me!

I am not a billboard.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. I deliberately avoid waring clothing with corporate logos.

It's enough that they pay us nothing and charge us the world for products that we all think could be made better and safer.

[ET Awful]

3. Hell I spend time looking for stuff without labels :)

Seriously, I've skipped nice clothing that was on sale because it had prominent labels, I hate big obnoxious labels.

[Carolina]

25. ditto, I ask for no logo

[fortyfeetunder]

29. Ditto too

Not only do I hate logo clothes, but despise some of the free logo clothing I get from work, with the company name emblazoned somewhere.

[Ysabel]

4. no...

well - i guess that's obvious since no-one has voted yes...

re: calvin - i don't know...

edit - i guess somebody voted that way now...

re - edit - re: your other question - i don't know that answer to that either...

[pagerbear]

5. When I was a kid...

I thought things with corporate logos were so cool. My dad wouldn't let me have something I wanted with a Budweiser logo--don't remember what it was. He said I woudln't be wearing the Budweiser logo if they weren't paying me to advertise for them. (I think it was about the fact it was a beer logo and I was like 13, really.)

Nowadays I simply don't like clothes with logos, but it's more because my taste in dressing is much more quiet than that. Give me chinos and a button-down and I'm happy. But I also don't want to be a billboard.

6. I voted "yes" b/c I do wear clothes

like that. But not for those reasons. I don't love showing off the names but I do like how some of those clothes look and feel. Real comfortable and made nice. No shrinkage factor usually and sometimes they have cool designs. I have a few Tommy shirts that are striped and with cool colors.


edit: spelling

[name not needed]

7. yes. but not because

i want to be a walking billboard. i like the way the clothes look, and theyre comfortable.

[ConcernedCanuk]

8. Hmmm, would this count as a yes ?

[lovedems]

11. ROTFLMAO!

I would wear a shirt like that! I want one!

That is probably one of the best shirts I have ever seen!

Edited because I don't know what I wrote at first. It made no sense.

[Deja Q]

12. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! Stolen from "Family Guy" though...

FG's version was "G_ _uck Y__rself __".

[Heyo]

28. Family Guy!!.LMAO

"My Hairy Aunt"...

[mhr]

13. What Is A Clue You Will Never See On Jeopardy?

eom

[blondeatlast]

36. ROFLMAO!

Do the hat and cigar come with the ensemble, or is this just an example of superb accessorizing?

[VOX]

40. Hah!

That photo is a riot!

thanks -- :toast:

[bubblesby2002]

9. Never wear brand names no one's paying me.

However, I am wearing a Fawlty Towers t-shirt I got for donating to the PBS station in Seattle a long time ago.

[mhr]

10. The Day They Pay Me To Be A Fashion Model - Maybe I Would

Until then, I refuse to be walking corporate billboard!

'nuff said.

[lovedems]

14. I have some

I have some T-shirts with logo's but I mainly use them for pajamas or yard work.

[blondeatlast]

37. I do too but they were given to me; I would never pay someone

to do their advertising.

[The Lone Liberal]

15. I have been toying with writing a book titled…

“F**K Armani” I am sick of the “winner-take-all” world.

[blondeatlast]

38. Read "No Logos..."

By Naomi Klein

Cool; they have a website even!

http://www.nologo.org/

[DS1]

16. No, but I've got Old Navy stamped on the hood of my car!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[pagerbear]

22. I just realized!

I do have some pants with the Old Navy label!

[Goldberg]

17. The only names I like to display are...

The Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings.

[burrowowl]

18. Hell No!

And if the the damn cable companies keep insisting on 'giving' one all those shopping channels, they should pay you $8 a month for every shopping channel they force on you. Ain't Amurika great, they make you pay for advertising.

[Catshrink]

19. Does a tiny logo count?

I have a couple shirts with little Tommy logos on the cuff. But no, I don't wear shirts with "Tommy Hilfucker" prominently displayed across my boobs.

[Florida_Geek]

20. I do make an exception for Cruise Ships

:evilgrin:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. Y'All ever heard of Eskimo Joe's?

It's a restaurant in Stillwater, OK, that has spawned tshirts and casual wear. I have three t-shirts from there...and they're really neat, and I know people in Europe who have sought after them. Do sports T shirts count? What about Music shirts?

[Another Bill C.]

23. My Pointer overalls

have a label on the front and back. And they're made in Tennesee, too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Absolutely not

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. Icky poo

Not me.

[populistmom]

27. Maybe the day the want to overpay me for the privilege ...

of using me as an advertisement. Until, I try to avoid it as much as possible.

[EstimatedProphet]

30. Nope

When I went to HS, that's what the elitist rich kid preppies did. I still won't wear those damn IZOD polos.
On edit: I do have a lot of concert T-shirts.

[Nikia]

31. Usually not

Some of my jeans have bigger tags than usual, which I bought becuase they fit well. I have a couple branded shirts which I liked the color combos and bought on sale. Most branded stuff is more expensive. Why pay extra so you can advertise for them? They should give you a discount.

[BigMcLargehuge]

32. absofrigginlutely not

the day one of them approaches me with a lucrative endorcement deal, I'll consider it. Until then, buy your own goddamn advertising.

AND THAT GOES FOR KIDS CLOTHES TOO!!!! Stop plastering your goddam label all over the front of toddler overalls!!!

Man I hate clothes.

[LastKnight]

33. i avoid the 'name brand' crap, im not gonna pay extra for a name

that and im anti-big corporations... why should i pay 30 bucks too much so i can wear a name brand shirt that was made in a sweatshop by underpaid workers. i stay the f*ck away from name brands. its just somethin i do.

-LK

[VOX]

34. No way. The logos ever visible on my clothing are on:

Gym clothes (usually Puma)
Gym shoes (again, usually Puma)
The embroidered kangaroo on Kangol wool hats.

But that's it.

[Colin Ex]

35. Yeah. Not gonna lie.

I have a few skateboarding shirts and band t-shirts. You know, Circa Shoe Company, Saves the Day, Q and not U...

So I guess I'm a skateboarding / emo / punk band billboard.

-C

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

41. same here

How exactly do you wear your Saves The Day shirt without getting beat up?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

39. yeah

I try not to, but I do have a few from companies like Dickies, Independent, Fox Racing, Roxy, Hurley, etc. The logos are usually pretty discreet. I also have shirts from bands, I'm not sure of those count though.

[Burma Jones]

42. I wear LL Bean Polo Shirts and Generic Jeans

Pretty much all the time. At work, I replace the Jeans with Chinos. I buy the Shirts from Bean because they really do last a lot longer and are unrecognizable as any particular brand. I won't even wear Polo Shirts 'cause of the logo.

[chenGOD]

43. I have a whole bunch.

A whole bunch of Puma stuff, but that's just cause my brother-in-law works for Puma Korea so I get it for free.

If someone gives something like that to me, I usually donate it to the needy.
