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

God I hate this attitude, I could have easily reeled off the song names for you as a young girl. In fact much more so than I could now as a forgetful middle aged perimenopausal woman.

Someone did that to my teenage son once and he listed about 50 songs 🤣

I’ve usually got on a band T-shirt or something with lyrics or a funny saying. I like that kind of stuff for everyday wear!

I'm clearly a bit dim, because I thought the title meant Slogan was a brand of clothing. I'll get my coat....

Can't bear any sort of message on clothes. Or visible brand labels. Those bags covered in logos make my skin crawl in dislike.

I've got a lovely one with Courage Calls to Courage and another one from Man Who Has It All that says Girly Swot.
I'm all for wearing my feminist credentials on my sleeve (or chest).

You'd be drawing people's eyes to your chest if you're wearing a slogan tshirt

I don't buy slogan t-shirts but I really couldn't get excited about other people wearing them.

They occasionally make me laugh. I once saw a very ordinary middle age man walking down the street, in daytime, on his own with a t-shirt emblazoned with "I fuck on a first date". The ridiculousness of it still makes me laugh. I imagine a lot of people on here would probably find it quite sinister though.

She might have been sexy to some.

A Waitrose bin bag - yes
A Morrisons bin bag - no

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.

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?

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.

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? 🤣

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?”

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?

Worry? You actually worry about that?

😂😂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’.

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

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

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 really like my hoodie that says “shhhhhh….No-one cares.” On 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 think it’s probably because other people like things that you don’t like. That’s it.

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

I’m very old though, so it’s ok.
