Reply #19: People used to do that because the stuff was free

[Warpy]

and I'm going back years to T-shirts that advertised cigs and caps that advertised farm equipment or beer.

Now they expect us to pay to be walking billboards. No thanks.

The running shoes I have on now are black Reeboks, the logo barely visible on the tongue. My jeans cover it. There's no way I'd wear Nike shoes with that stupid swoosh, although my last nursing shoes were New Balance with a sideways "N." At least that was more restrained.

I've always thought t-shirts with writing and/or logos on them were tacky, fine if you'd gotten a souvenir band t-shirt at a concert but certainly nothing to wear outside the house.

If anybody wants me to buy their stuff, they have to keep the labels inside, thanks. I don't even wear Izod for that reason.
