The only thing I consistently wear is cheap pocketless solid color Eddie Bauer tees I got at Sam’s Club. Well and my very fashionable Mediven compression socks, but you can’t see them. Everything else I have a variety of jeans, sweatpants and shorts. I am partial to Brooks Adrenaline running shoes.
I’m wearing a t-shirt from an ultra-small-batch Pittsburgh-area distillery today, and my usual Columbia trail-runner footwear, but that’s all.
Piiholo ranch zipline. Free t-shirt! I will totally whore my body out for free clothes.
Siggraph & E3 totally got me through the early oughts.
Typically on a work day, no words or logos. I guess if you were uncomfortably close to my wrist, you read Citizen Eco-Drive on my watch.
At other times, I wear a lot of Adidas (gym and sneakers/casual shoes generally), and if I’m at something t-shirt level casual or just hanging out, I’ve probably got either something gaming-related or a Boston sports team on my chest. I need more metal band and local brewery type shirts, but they always make me feel a little poser-y, like I’m into them but not enough that I should be branding myself like that. Which is stupid, I know, but brains sometimes, right?
There’s a difference between ‘advertising’ on clothes vs clothes of a recognizable brand. I wear Levis. There isn’t really any hiding that, but it’s not like they have a giant logo down the legs or anything. I usually wear Asics shoes, which are recognizable but fairly tame on the branding. I do have a bunch of t-shirts with logos for universities and a few pro sports teams. I have one with a small Adidas logo that I bought on a trip when my luggage didn’t make it, and it never bothered me to wear it.
I only wear stuff from the QT3 merch store. Just giant bloodshot eyes all over my person.
I’ve been buying a lot of Uniqlo lately, but the branding only exists on the tags, so it’s really unobtrusive. The only thing with a visible brand seems to be my Adidas shoes.
I guess nothing. I am at a conference though.
Today I’m wearing a t-shirt from the craft distillery down the hill from my house and Columbia-brand trail runners, but that’s all.
My hiking boots are from vasque (but you’d need to be 2 feet away to read the black on black background logo), my pants are non-descript (but are kuhl, but there are no visible logos), and my sweatshirt is from champion (but the logo is again about the size of a dime and black on black, so you best be close to see.)
My look is “REI + Patagonia + comfy”. I really dislike logos.
The real giveaway is that I’ll be wearing airpods most of the time, so I’m obviously an apple shill.
Otep, Tool, Deftones, Queens of the Stone Age.
If it’s cold, Carhartt, and Bianchi if you look close enough at the right time.
I guess I’m advertising New Balance shoes, which I swore I wouldn’t get more of since learning they donated to the Trump campaign, but I assume they donated to both sides and they were used anyways. Other than that I’m not wearing any brands that you could see easily. I’m not sure if I own any clothes which are essentially brand billboards. I probably grew out of that in high school.
Good lord I’m like a walking Under Armor rep; t-shirts, sport shirts, tech shirts for work, shorts in the summer, etc. Beyond that I really only care about brands for certain items, coats and whatever I wear on my feet. Nothing is worse than a low quality pair of shoes. Only slightly less important is not being miserable in the rain or cold.
It’s not my fault my office has a relaxed dress code.
<.<
(Really, though, I just usually don’t wear pants that have a brand on 'em.)
I don’t consider wearing a pear of Levi’s jeans as advertising. If someone is close enough to see that little red tag on your butt then that is way too close. But when someone wears a t-shirt with huge font “Levi’s” across their chest, I can’t stand that. That to me is just advertisng for another company.
I am wearing a T-shirt with Ookla the Mok on it.
Adidas shoes and a Hurley hat. Not much of a logo whore here.
That is part of the trick though.
Today for me it’s The Grateful Dead and Champion as well as a UCLA Football cap
