Slogan Clothes

[Iwanttoliveinagardencentre]

Why does anyone want clothes with whatever supposed inspirational / suggestive / brand name slogan emblazoned across them?

I would honestly rather wear a bin bag.

YABU = they are great
YANBU = they are stupid

I don’t really like them but each to their own

YNU to worry about what other people want to wear so emotively

As a child, I had a badge which said "stop reading my badge".

And YABU, Mumsnet is a gold mine of slogan clothes:
AIBU?
I hate summer.
My eyes are up here, tits pervert. (arrow pointing up)
Shoes off in my house.
I do not answer the front door.
It's not Christmas yet, it's only November.

What an odd thing to post about.

I suppose it’s too early for wine though.

I live in tops with logos and pictures of local stuff - the local market, sea swimming group, nature conservation group etc. Lots of local people do - local football team hoodies, fun run Tshirts, scout troop. The groups sell them to raise money and it's a nice community thing.

I hate them, even some t shirts that might have a nice/cool image on them then ruin it with some cheesy slogan or even if it just says ‘Miami’ or ‘1979’ or something. Makes it completely un purchasable for me. Same for older girls clothes, so many have unicorns and ‘be kind’ messages on. Who is designing these?!

I would wear logos of something I had actually been involved in or a team name etc. it’s the irrelevant ones I hate!

I love my “made in 1971” t shirt 😁

It’s fine if it’s your actual birth year 😄

I always worry that I'll be one of those people interviewed on the news after some terrible tragedy with 'Fun times!' or something equally inappropriate emblazoned on my chest.

Reading this as I sit here in an adidas top 🤣
good job we live in a world where we’re all different. How boring it would be if we all wore the same. Maybe focus on something more important to get wound up about.

I have some that say random things like New York sports club. The ones I hate are the velour trackie trousers with Juicy across the arse

I don’t wear anything like that myself, but I don’t care that other people do.

i used to hate them - any design on the front really - but I’ve got a few I really like now. My tastes have changed a bit. Not anything trite or sickly sweet though.

I see young girls wearing Ramones t-shirts. I feel like asking them name a song or album from them.

I dont like any logos, nike ticks etc

T-shirts with slogans should match with the person. There was the time where I saw a boy wearing "well behaved" on his t-shirt and he was not well behaved.

Then a lady who was about a size 24, wearing a very tight top saying "sexy babe". So tight that you saw more flab than t-shirt.

I’m sat here in a jumper that says San Antonio, but I did buy it in San Antonio. I’m hankering after a Blakely hoodie too, but I do have mostly plain tee shirts.

My 15 year old niece loves them and could reel off loads of their songs with lyrics if you wanted. The young people I know who wear band T-shirts are really into their music. Young people’s music tastes seem to really span the decades which is great so I think you’d probably show yourself up if you are expecting them not to be able to name a load of songs,

Reading this as I sit here in a Brooklyn top. I have actually been to Brooklyn, but I didn’t actually buy it there 😆

I have some, eg band tee shirts, or Hard Rock Cafe tee shirts from the city I got them in. I am fine with those. Tee shirts with strange catch phrases on, or the brand in HUGE letters, I am less keen on for myself, but each to their own.

I only ever buy place name t-shirts and jumpers for places I've actually been to.

I was thinking about this in Primark a couple of weeks ago. So many of their cropped t-shirts and jumpers say things like Miami, San Francisco, Yosemite National Park etc. I was wondering how many teenage girls, shopping in a smallish Primark in a town in the English midlands, have actually been to any of these places?

The last few years, when on holiday, I try and dress the children in more classic, neutral, timeless pieces, rather than the usual Disney and superhero fare. Purely because they then look better in photos. Less garish and it drives more attention to their faces/expressions and the surroundings, than a hot-pink t-shirt with Stitch's face leering out at the camera.
I'm sure that would be silly to some people, and the rest of the time I don't give a stuff what they've chosen to wear that day, but that's just our preference for holidays where we're taking a lot of photos and then selecting photos that we might like to put in frames at home.

Don't understand why you eould pay loads to advertise Adidas or Nike etc.
They should pay you to advertise for them.

I don’t understand why people wear clothes with logos or random words but that’s fine, because it’s not me who’s wearing them.

I do have quite a good collection of tops with feminist slogans on though.

Hmm I know what you mean op. Some of them are naff. I do wear my beloved football team’s shirt - but only in the gym or to matches. I have a sweatshirt from the university I actually went to. And I have a top that says “YES BAB” on the front (I’m from the Black Country but don’t live there) which makes me smile.

are any of them allowed?
