    I don't like wearing clothes with things like "Abercrombie" blazed on the front.
    I just get my clothes off of ebay... when I find a good thrift store, or just a store with good clothes, I'll get clothes from there.

    I plan on making my own clothing as well.
    I'll get blank shirts from froot of the loom or something, cause I can put whatever I want on them.

    I mean, isn't everything from a brand name?

    i like to rock Low Card name brand, because they are sick. and my boyfriend hooks me up with any of their girls clothing.

    Low Card is a skate mag, and the name explains their position in the world. or something like that. i dont think it's wrong to advertise a company that you like, or would like to see flourish.

    I call people who exclusively wear name brands 'Label whores'...I wear some name brands but only if I love the item and it's on sale

    Somwhere somebody said,' I base my fashion in something that doesn't itch.' I personally like to wear clothes that make me feel comfortable. When in Rome dress like the Romans.

    I hate brand names.. Why do I want to walk around with fucking advertisements all over me?

    It is so hard to find a good baseball cap without a fucking commercial icon on it.

    I don't care either way. I have a Nike spring jacket, an old Reebok sweater, loads of sports shirts.
    I've never understood why it really mattered.

    I sorta feel the same way. See I don't mind wearing brand name stuff as long as it's not visable to people when I'm out. I don't wear band t-shirts for the same reason...if I wear something that has any type of wording on it or a picture on it, I feel embarissed - like I'm wearing something a pre-teen would wear. I just think it's juvenile to wear things with words and pictures on them. I'd rather accessorize to make my outfit more interesting.

    I won't pay extra for a particular brand name. I only consider looks and comfort.

    I'm more careful about T-shirts and caps. It is hard to find one that doesn't make a statement that will offend somebody. I think they are kind of pointless.

    I just think that a company name right on a shirt is tacky as hell. I don't want to be a walking billboard, and it's pretty poor style to wear a shirt with a name on it. I would rather wear shirts with designs and artwork, throwing a name in there just ruins a design for me. The only exception I'll make is advertising bands. I gotta have my Grateful Dead shirts :D

    I dont like to wear clothes with the name brand in large letters on the front of my shirt.
    Some logos I have cut out, just because I dont want to flaunt these brands.. Most of my shopping is at hand me down stores..so I usually just pick out clothing without logos, names etc. But if I want some good quality flipflops or swimshorts or somthing, then ya might see a name brand on me..but all in all clothes are clothes

    I really don't care about brands. It's all about the feel.
