I don't like logos on clothes any more

Maybe I never did beyond being a kid with sneakers but when I see shirts in my closet with a chest logo or a jacket with an arm logo, pair of jeans, even Levi's red tab, I think to myself I wish these were plain. It's also a bit unfortunate because a label usually has a better fit, cut, quality from what I noticed compared to cheaper supermarket brand stuff but not always, there is nice cuts too. Yeah, I'm over logos, not that I ever bought these things for the logo to my knowledge, maybe blindly thinking it's better quality perhaps but fit and feel is what I go on.

Yeah, other than a couple more athletic Adidas pieces I own, it's almost all plain. I feel like it just looks a bit tacky on adults to wear heavily branded clothes

I've become a fan of subtle clothing without logos or graphics in recent years. Just color and a nice material. All I need!

Athletic pants are about the only thing I wear these days with clear branding.

Lots of the highest quality brands don't have obnoxious logos, OP. Might just need to look at other brands. For instance, I tend to buy a lot of Paul Smith which usually avoids logos on the mid/higher-priced garments.

On the other hand I am a big fan of Lacoste polo shirts for summer wear, logo be damned.

I never liked them. Feel like a walking billboard. I can wear shirts with band logos, political symbols or game related art or something like that if it's something that I feel I can stand for, but I hate brand names front and center.

Same. I don't wear anything that has words or logos prominently displayed anymore. Haven't since my early 20s.

The only logo I have on anything is a pocket logo like the Vineyard Vines whale or something. I have a few sports polo's that have Ohio State emblems as well, but outside of that I don't wear anything that isn't plain.

I've been wearing plain clothes for years and never looked back. Classy and clean.

I like graphic tees if it's something I support or love. I don't think i'll ever totally grow out of band shirts. But otherwise I agree.

Sports jerseys are the only thing I would wear (in the right context, of course) with logos on them. No graphics on my shirts or anything like that, but I do own two PlayStation shirts and a hoodie, though.

The only thing I'll wear with logos are band shirts. I'll remove branding on pieces I like if possible, if not I'll not wear them. I'll wear brands as soon as companies are paying me to be a walking advertisement.

I don't mind a design if it's simple or subtle. I've bought a few shirts from Fangamer that were cool looking but not overly busy or annoying or screamed, "HEY LOOK I PLAY VIDEO GAMES." But on the whole, I like solid colors without designs.

I'm with you, I try to pretty hard to find clothes that are either logo-less or are so unknown that even if there is a logo most people don't know what it is... OR they're relatively well hidden.

Supporting sports teams or bands logos are OK, but retail branding I've never liked. If they want free advertising, they should be paying me or at least give away their stuff as a promo. Don't pay them to be a walking billboard for a business corporation.

I do have some graphic shirts which are fine, they don't bother me much if they are for casual messing about.

This is why my wardrobe is 90% Uniqlo. No visible logos anywhere, even on their jeans. I recommend them for tshirts, jeans, hoodies, and jackets. Good price/quality ratio.

Yeah, they still have killer basics that are made well and super affordable. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to move away from excessively branded stuff.

Edit: also Everlane.

I've come to wear plainly shit over the years as well. I don't like showing overt support for brands and I find the obsession over brands dumb. Ironic considering my entire career is revolves around designing shit for brands.

I will admit though, I do like Vans as a brand. Some of their shoes are just simple as fuck in their design and their logo is hidden away at the heel of the shoe. I can dig that shit.

Logos suck. You're just paying the company a premium so you can be their free marketing.

I have a couple of video game related graphic design tshirts though, which are almost exclusively for in the house only.

Same. I've been on this for years. Branding on clothes is tacky and juvenile.

I don't like anything on my t-shirts either. Solid colors are best.

This is why I loved American Apparel. They were expensive, but they had great colors and no graphics or logos on their clothes!

My favorite shirts are just plain white T-shirts

They're great for working out, using as undershirts, or lounging around the house

Agreed, their stuff is great. I mostly just wear their t-shirts and hoodies but it's all decent quality and very affordable.

I have a couple graphic tees but rarely ones that have company logos on them. I almost entirely wear plain colored tees and jeans.

Kind of related, this is how I feel about those stupid license plate covers and glued on emblems that car dealerships try to slip past the consumer. First thing I did after buying my last car was ask that they remove the sticker/emblem and then bought a new generic license plate cover.

I haven't liked branding on clothing in a long time. Some things are harder to avoid like say athletic gear but for where I can, I will absolutely take clothes with no visible logos over ones that do have them visible.

Band shirts are the one exception. SUPREME can go and suffocate by its logos horribly.

Agreed I only wear obviously branded/logo shoes Nike/adidas/asics. Other than than I go for something with as little logo as possible, preferable none at all.

My fashion has become basic: Solid and dark colors.

Only time I wear graphics is whenever I attend a football game or fan conventions.

Logos are the worst. I absolutely hate them, I hated logos around 16-17 and my fashion got do much better over time because of it.

Wearing things with huge logos on them is just advertising their clothing. Looks tacky and doesn't represent anything but consumerism.

If I want stuff with say Pikachu on it. I want it to be a actual design. Or a company logo has to be super small, unnoticeable, and subtle. And that's the closest ill let myself go into that rabbit hole.

My only exception is logo shoes simply because you can't avoid it most of the time. But I still try and find Nike shoes that has the swoosh look like its part of the shoe's design.

You picked the wrong time. Logos are back in. Of course, if I wore a Uniqlo t-shirt with weeb shit on it, I'd look like a nerd. But there are loads of cool people rocking One Piece shirts now. That's fashion I guess.
