Why do you pay for clothes with the designer's logo plastered all over it? Shouldn't they be paying you to advertise for them instead of you paying premium dollars to walk around showing off their name? If they are a really good designer the cut and fit of the clothes tell us who made it. I don't need a polo pony on a shirt to know if it's a good shirt, or a little alligator, and most certainly don't need the great big label taking up the whole shirt or the ass of my pants.

 

I wear t-shirts most days and it seems like the only choices are either a boring single color shirt or a designer shirt with color and graphics (and their name).

 

why do some spend thousands and tens-of-thousands of dollars on gold watches? why do peacocks expend so much biological energy to create large, colorful displays?

same reasons.

EDIT: except rather than have some implicit value (such as gold), the logos come with only perceived value thanks to advertising. so yes, they're suckers.

 

For girls...especially the hotties I do not mind that they spend hundreds if not thousands on jeans that have huge labels on their butts....it gives me an excuse to stare at them while they strut.

 

I hate clothes saturated with logos.

I work for Armani Exchange now, and basically Armani Exchange puts their name on everything, everywhere they can. I started to just buy the plain pima cotten shirts because their no logo.

Some logo stuff is kool and well designed, others are just too over done.

 

I buy Polo and Izod, but its good stuff and wears well.

 

I think those polo shirts with the huge logo where the small one used to be are RIDICULOUS!!!!

 

I havent seen the "Huge" logo's yet......but i'll be sure to remember that.

 

I like the items with the very subtle logos that only people "in the know" recognize. Big logos are tacky. Wife just bought a pair of "red soled shoes." There are no logos on the shoes. But apparently, women "in the know" recognize them immediately.

Apparently, they're the #1 shoe in a survey of professional women with >$200k incomes.

It's advertising. Just like a big engagement ring or something like that. The message you choose to advertise is up to you.

Like I said, I think big logos are tacky. I'd debadge an AMG if I had the chance, preferring people to recognize it by the tailpipes and the engine note.

 

big logos are tacky. subtle ones are alright. honestly, i'd rather pay more to get something with no conspicuous label.
