    How many of you are willing to wear logos on your clothes? Like, Old Navy or Roxy or whatever, if its written across the ass or chest or wherever, would you wear it out? I know there are reasons for those who do and those who don't, so click your choice!



    *I have no life and am bored, so want to know this. It got me wondering because my aunt gave me a blue Old Navy shirt for Christmas, and I feel sort of bad because I don't want to wear it (not advertising for corporations by wearing a big brand name across my chest). Its okay, she gave me other gorgeous clothes too, but that was the main reason it made me think of this.

    i have like one shirt that has a brand name written on the front. i don't like wearing it, i feel like i'm a slave to the corporation, and the logo is saying "i own you". so i try to just wear white tees and shirts with pictures (skylines, people, etc...).

    I don't normally like the brandname style..but if I like the shirt...then yeah...the likelyhood of me actually liking the shirt enough to buy it though is slim to none in most cases

    Oooh! I pretty much never ever wear brand names (on purpose). I got a Roxy shirt from the same aunt last year, and wore it twice at the most. Most of my tops are either from thrift stores (no one else'll have the same one!), garage sales, gifts, or homemade. I also have 3 or 4 that I bought plain and tiedyed them. I love clothes, but I just feel...wrong...wearing names on them. Unless they're of a local band or a funny and clever phrase ("I'm not a lesbian, my girlfriend is"), none of my shirts have words on them...

    Shirts with words on them bother me...except the "Photographers do it in the darkroom" one. Now that's classy. ;)

    I don't do that though... lmao, the day I first bought a Martin, I went onto their site and bought like... two shirts and a hat. :D I do wear guitar logos... but I actually play the guitars... and I like their guitars, but I'd never endorse a company for the money. :p

    FUCK THAT. i have never understood it why people pay 40$ for a shirt just because it says 'billabong'. i wonder how many people that wear those surf brands actually surf. this goes for those skateboarding brands too. if they dont, then its a big fat waste of money. my body isnt a fucking BILLBOARD!!! if any of my clothes do happen to come with labels on them, i tear them off.

    I don't mind having the name on my chest so long as I like the brand. Like Jnco and Shady are fine w/ me, but mainly I wear white tee's; theyre cheap and easy to clean

    i refuse to wear brand names on my chest and have refused to such for a long time. even my mother has come to terms with this and if she ever buys me clothes (christmas, borthday, whatever) she respects this.
