Slogan Clothes

I have become more inclined towards slogan-y stuff of late.

I have a CHOOSE LOVE t-shirt, and a Hope not Hate sweatshirt, which are both recent purchases. Both come from charities which support refugees, and suggest that I am not interested in any hateful rhetoric, so twats give me a wide berth. They were a bit of a protest purchase.

I’m slobbing about in my Ice Nine Kills t shirt.
Im very old too. 😂

If you’re talking about the Emma Freud jumpers with ‘KIND’ on the front at M&S that are £140 I completely agree with you.

Some people just are unable to do other than follow what is or perceived to be a latest fashion. Remember all those who cut off the bottom of jeans in about 2018 or 2019 as an example.

What i meant was you would be butting in if you saw someone commenting on someone else's t-shirt by telling them to mind their own business!

I don't care what people wear. Sometimes it's the design of the slogan or words that look quite good, not the band name itself. I saw a Ramones t-shirt in Primark & really liked the actual design, the fact it had the name of a band of whom I couldn't name 1 song by didn't really matter

Frankie Says Relax. Bless 'im.

I quite like a slogan or band tee, although absolutely not one with any sort of inspirational quote or mention of kindness on it. I'm currently wearing one with a famous line from Mean Girls.

Responding to a post I disagree with on a public discussion forum is hardly 'butting in', is it? It's precisely what this place is for, there's literally a button for doing exactly that.

Do you not think a teenage girl can stand up for herself?

Some will, some won't. Some might have a go back, some might get quite upset by it.

It's probably best to just avoid hassling random teenagers girls on the street because you've made an assumption about their musical knowledge based on their t-shirt.

Or do you disagree? Would love to know why if so!

I’m currently lying in bed in a Ramones T-shirt.

I’m very old though, so it’s ok.

I think it’s probably because other people like things that you don’t like. That’s it.

Well we all like different things. I have a few slogan sweatshirts. My favourite says
'sorry I'm late I didn't want to come'.

I really like my hoodie that says “shhhhhh….No-one cares.” On it.

Yep, but also even if they couldn’t reel off song names, so what. There’s no exam you have to pass to wear a band tshirt.

I don't have many, but my favourite is this one https://blackandbeech.com/products/liberte-egalite-sororite-charcoal-t-shirt

I also have the cardi with 'Do No Harm' and 'Take No Shit' knitted down the arms

Maybe Miss Size 24's husband bought it for her. Us fatties shag too you know.

😂😂I saw a man wearing a t-shirt that said ‘People ruin everything’. Amen to that! I used to like a slogan t-shirt in my youth. Years ago when DS was a teen I wore one. He looked at me sadly and said ‘tragic’.

Worry? You actually worry about that?

Oh the irony! You telling someone else to mind their own business when you're the knd butting in! Do you not think a teenage girl can stand up for herself?

I’ve had strangers comment (usually favourably) on a t-shirt which says “I’d rather be playing netball”.

As for the thing of paying good money to advertise designer brands: my uncle used to turn carrier bags inside out, so that he was not doing their advertising.

And as mumsnet gets so het up about what cleaning ladies do, I know a book which tells of a cleaning lady who brazenly wore a T-shirt to a client’s house which said: “I can put on a condom. Can you?”

A bit of an over the top reaction there. She said she FEELS like asking them. Not that she ever has, or ever will, approach them.

Anyway, if you're all for people minding their own business, why would you be weighing in to somebody else's (imaginary) conversation anyway? 🤣

Oh god I used to get the band gatekeepers asking me to name songs or albums a lot. It's infuriating and sexist. I bet they wouldn't ask a dude who was wearing a Metallica t-shirt to name anything ffs. Luckily I'm old now so no one GAF about me and I can wear my band tees in peace.

I like print and slogan shirts. Maybe not so much slogans unless they're clever or funny. But I'm sat here in my "I'm Kenough" hoodie so I can't really judge anyone.

Elitist nonsense. If I heard someone doing this to a young girl in public they'd be getting told to fuck off and mind their own business.

Why not tell them you like their T-shirt and tell them what your favorite Ramones song is? Or just leave young girls alone?

My DH once wore a Clash t-shirt to take DS to his guitar lesson, the teacher was so impressed with him and told him how cool he was to like The Clash. DH just said smiled and said “yeah”, he told me, “i just liked the shirt”. He couldn’t name one song at the time, he can probably name dozens now, as every time The Clash come on we all say “ooo, your favourite band”.

I don’t mind them for myself if they’re relevant to me, but usually avoid them if not. So, I’m happy to wear anything saying somewhere I’ve been but don’t wear slogans at all. I have a sweatshirt from primark emblazoned with UCLA, which people will think holds no significance to the middle aged woman walking past, but I lived in dorms there for 6 weeks back in the 80’s. People can think what they like, it makes me happy.
