Not just abercrombie, and ae...hollister, aeropostle...etc. I cant bring myself to buy any of these clothings when they have their logo plastered across the chest of clothing....I always thought that it was tacky....I just want to know if somebody else thinks the same thing....

I personally really like how those brands fit me but I don't agree with what they are associated with. For example Abercrombie: racist discrimination in hiring employees, all white models, informally requiring female employees to show skin. I don't know how Hollister is but they are owned by Abercrombie so I assume similar.
You want the clothes to make YOU look good. You don't want the clothes to wear you.

Yeah, I read your beads. Actually, for some reason I'm fine wearing clothes that either have Puma written on it, Armani Exchange or a little polo pony, but those are my limits. They actually manage to write Puma and Armani Exchange on clothes in a tasteful and nontacky way, and polos are the original logos before mooses and eagles. I feel self conscious when I wear clothes that say those things, and kind of like a corporate whore, idk. I judge people a little on that. It's just really distasteful to advertise where you shop, especially if it's inexpensive or a store everyone else goes to.

I've never been a big fan of logo clothes or with the name written across.

I cannot stand self promoting brands.
There is a brand in UK called 'meatandcheese', who made a parody of Abercrombie t-shirts and I have 'Applecrumble and Fish' emblazoned across my chest instead.

I totally agree- I really like a lot of their clothes but the huge logo really kills it for me.

It's supposed to be a status symbol. How will anyone know you paid $30 for a worn out t-shirt if it doesn't have a name on it? ;) I understand your delima, I hate the clothing too.

Hi there: I do not mind buying brand names but it does give companies like "American Eagle" publicity. I do not think it is cheesy. However, I like to buy shirts with sayings or pictures on them and sometimes just plain.

At one time people would have rather been seen dead.
Then brand name clothes were it. I now think that you are right, it is like buying a permit to be cool.

no, it's not tacky. what's tacky is when you have a tag sticking up, or you sit down and you look like a plumber. and guys who wear their pants low to show off their boxers. the really tacky shirts are the ones that say stupid things like, "i thought it was a good idea at the time" or "my sister got lost. if you find her, don't return her." that's tacky.
