People are actually paying to wear an ad?
People are actually paying to wear an ad?
Got an email that says "please pay $33 + shipping to get a t-shirt with our ad on it"
There's people that would actually pay for something like this? This stuff is usually give away for free at conferences and then used as a sleeping dress, no?

I developed a distate for visible branding on my clothes and other items around 7 years ago and ever since I've gone out of my way to not buy any clothes with logos on them and I've been scratching away / putting tape over the logos on everything else.

I feel like I became cognizant of this when I tried customizing my GTA Online character in something that wasn't a nice suit (street wear). After scroling through so much cotton billboard it made get how tacky and humiliating it is. Turned out to be much harder in real life to find non-branded shirts with cool designs, such utter bullshit.

This is why I love furry stuff. Nomad Complex, Hyena Agenda and Weasel Gear are great. I mean, I guess Nomad Complex and Hyena Agenda could technically be kinda considered branded since Nomad Complex puts their logo on the front of their hoodies and Hyena Agenda has some shirts that incorporate their logo into the design, but the designs are generally really good.
Edit: okay fine, it's one of the reasons why I love furry stuff.

That's why you love furry stuff?

No, but it's one of many. c:

I'm familiar with Hyena Agenda. A friend showed me their shirts because he is one. Never before been so jealous.

I've always had that dislike. I even do not wear clothes with text on them as I feel like I'm constantly saying that. Often the texts designers put on clothing is nonsensicalb stuff. F.i. Hollywood, I'm not from there, I've never been there, why would I want to say Hollywood the entire day?
There's surprisingly little overlap between text people put on clothes and what I'd like them to say but there's a shitload of clothes the people feel like it needs some text on it.
Anyway that's my pet peeve.

What do you mean by putting tape over the logos? I’m imagining something like that you’ve duct taped over the front and centre Nike logo on a shirt but that seems silly

Well, here's my laptop. In some other cases, on my camera for example I've just used black electrical tape and on my bike duct tape. I have used tape on clothing aswell, though. Many of my work clothes are from my previous employee but since it's in good condition I'm still using them but just have the company branding covered.
