I just buy plain color t shirts to begin with, this looks like a lot of work and risk nicking the fabric. Plus, they’re cheaper, too.

It’s really easy and takes like five minutes. Everyone should have a seam ripper. Not just to remove brands but also annoying tags. Also I imagine most on lemmy don’t care about this, but if you buy a suit coat/blazer/whatever you’ll need a seam ripper to open up the pockets.

speaking as someone who modifies clothing and sews patches and fabric and stuff a lot, sometimes for work, thread rippers are surprisingly elegant for this sort of thing

I do this with wrangler too, I actually appreciate they make it simple to remove, instead of stitching it into a seam. Wrangler makes the only 100% cotton lightweight work/cargo pant that I can find. The rest are synthetic.

(the protagonist of William Gibson’s 2003 novel Pattern Recognition only wears un/de-branded clothing because she is literally allergic to advertising)

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.

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.

This one seems to have been on the outside (otherwise pretty bad advertising)

Good thing you really censored that logo so no one will know it’s wranglers you’re advertising for in this post.

As you advertise for them to social media… That’s a great cover-up of the brand name you did there 👍 really did a good job 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one who takes the logos off things!

I got shit for wanting the dealership stuff debadged off my car. I got what I wanted in the end but having to argue for it was annoying
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.

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’m glad whoever made this did such a good job censoring out the brand, I might have thought it was subtle advertising otherwise.

I also try to. But those shirts are 100% cotton and a fair bit thicker than what you get from other brands. They remind of pre-enshittified Carhartt shirts. They’re kinda hard to pass up over something you can cut off in a minute or two.
checkout shirtspace, or any site that lets you order shirts to print on. They’re usually a few dollars each and you can get them in bulk in different colors. Different fabrics, styles, weights, etc. Literally shopping for tshirts by specs instead of look.

Don’t be so cynical, lemmy doesn’t have the traffic. This could just be someone sharing info. I need 100% cotton shirts for work safety (I work around sparks, they’ll melt/fuse to plastic clothes) and they get harder to find every year. My coworkers and i talk about this stuff more than you might think and none of us are getting paid
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
Just in tissue paper? Soooooooooooooo much money. Well used to now I just pay a couple extra cents in water

And for about the same price too. Thanks, I’ll have to try one out some time.

Sometimes they’re sneaky and hide the branding. Like I bought some socks and the logo was not visible without opening the package.
(so I gave them to my cousin, he was like: whatever, free socks.)

Very smart, giving money to a company and not using their product because it has a logo nobody will ever see…
- Sergio@piefed.socialEnglish8 hours
Heh heh, my cousin was the same way, they were like: is the logo itchy? Does it make the socks less comfy? But I was like: look, I know the way I think, I know that when I wake up and get dressed I don’t want a bunch of corporate logos screaming in my face, it’s just the way my mind works.

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

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

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

I would buy so much more tourist merch if they didn’t plaster the location and branding all over it.

One thing I learned from punk rock: it’s OK to cut things off your clothes, or sew things on, or attach things with safetypins, etc. In fact, it’s encouraged.
