Some shoes like the air force type shoes when it's the same colour feel more subtle because it only looks like a logo if you recognise it. But most nike stuff it just doesn't incorporate well at all

yeah I agree, I like subtlety on some of them.

I wish I was, then I could buy more of their shirts. You want to hear about other stuff I'm a shill for? Too bad if you don't. If you haven't already invest in a bidet, they're like $30 and are a massive game changer in b-hole cleaning.

You're not joking...mine was 50 but hands down the best money I've spent in the bathroom

It's clothing too, but some Nike shoes really, really, REALLY want you to KNOW, they ARE, in fact, Nike shoes.

But so do the knockoffs

Yeah, I won’t advertise on my body, full-stop. My outfits are designed to look like I’m from way somewhere else, another world entirely, and immersion and worldbuilding is broken with any logo ever.

My outfits look like I shop at target but with the tags and logos all taken off.

I love that they crossed out "Wrangler" - so we know they aren't picking on a specific brand!

Did you use an AI to figure out what it said under the cross out?

I do this or black tape over logos on electronics. Feels so good you look around your house and not see any logos.

Yes, the reason that I put black tape over my electronics is because they're old hulks of shit falling to pieces to hide logos. Yeah, that!

I wish it was only a desirable brand problem. I used to get Skechers and not only have they gotten way too expensive for what they are (like, stay in your lane you're basically Payless Shoesource) but they put a bunch of tiny labels on their "propriety technology" now. Look at these ugly things. https://www.skechers.com/skechers-slip-ins-go-walk-workout-walker/217196_OLV.html

It's completely legal because the dealership owns the car. Same with Target, they could do that if they wanted to.

Dude, save those big brain ideas for small talks. Don't give those silly managers ideas to keep them employed.

First thing I do anytime I purchase a vehicle is to remove the dealership decal... I should do this with my clothes as well.

In my state the dealerships don’t glue their logos to your car, only give you the license plate cover. The first time I bought a car somewhere else I asked them to take it off before they gave it to me. The guy gave me a look but did it anyway, but it was gone when I got possession.

And they have a right to tell you "sure thing, we'll get that removed" and conveniently leave it out of the contract and tell you "oh, sorry, remove it yourself." And then you leave them a bad review and it stays there for a week and the owner replies saying they're sowwwy and then Google removes your review.

I've never had an issue. New or used.

The amount of dealership license plate frames I see on cars blows my mind. I could see someone not wanting to put forth the effort in properly removing the decals, for fear of damaging their pant job, but the plate frame is a no-brainer.

I’ve taken mine off and they put a new one on next maintenance

Which is wild to me. First thought was also inside. Then I thought, I'm looking at the back pocket of some pants. But to have that ugly tag in the middle of your chest is ridiculous.

Those badges are more an east coast or midwest thing. Out west, they just give you a dealership license plate frame that most people shitcan the moment they get home. When I first saw badges in a new car when I was in PA in the late 1980's I thought it was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.

heat gun, blow dryer or a hot summer day makes the badge adhesive soft and easy to pull off..

That was in RI. Interesting. I didn’t know it was regional. I’m on the west coast now and come to think of it I haven’t seen that

People in Cali would be PISSED if a dealer put an east coast style badge on their tesla or porsche or benz

I share the same sentiment towards corporate. I'd also remove/conceal big brand logos like this when I can, or I'd shop for things without visible logos to begin with.

I do, however, like to wear band merch. Bands that are just as happy to see me as I'm happy to see them. People I can go and talk to at the merch stand. People who, funded through merch and shows, will have the means to record another album.

Owning it has nothing to do with it. It’s legal because there’s not a law against it. Just because you own something doesn’t mean you can do anything you want with it if you intend to sell it. You can’t put poison in it, you can’t sell asbestos. There’s tons of regulations about what you are allowed to do to products sold.

At least once a year put them in a dishwasher for a deep clean. Comes out running like new.

They used to pin metal logos to cars, and the holes they made were the first to rust out.

Yup, I do this too. Have an old work half-zip fall jacket that I'd like to wear, but it had one of those large fully sewed in patches. Now 75% of it is gone, but it's a bit of a project and I've mangled the entire area in the process, so I'll need to choose a new patch if I want it to look nicer.
