this is absolutely why i don't wear abercrombie and fitch, aeropastle and things of thins nature. they are crummy clothes that everyone has and all i do is walk around and advertise them. and ALL their clothes have their name on it. i hate it.
AMEN to this, I agree 1000%. I'll see a shirt that I like but will be totally disgusted to see the brand name in huge letters on the back or whatever. And if you get a shirt from A&F, you spend 30 bucks to advertise their name.
My family prefers to advertise for that store in other ways. My brother named our cat Abercrombie. We just call him Abe.
i agree!!! If i wasn't in the industry i'm in, i would NEVER wear the clothing. I wouldn't pay $30 to sport a surf logo name. it only costs like $1 to make the shirts....
Oh but they do have some really cute stuff sometimes..
yeah in skirts and bags. but they don't say the name so i have no objection to that. but $36 for a shirt that says their name? and that's ALL it says? that's just ridiculous!!!
Seriously..just got buy a plain white t-shirt at Rag Shop and write Abercrombie on it with a black marker.
that would be so punk rock
You know..I was gonna add those exact words to the end of my post..and I didn't.
yeah, I like Gap jeans, but I wouldn't buy a Gap shirt that Says "GAP" in huge letters across my chest.
I'd wear band t-shirts, because at least your advertising your favorite band and get them more attention (especially if they're underground/unkown)
I'm the same way. I get Gap stuff thats subtle. And I love my lil band shirts. THE SUNSHINE WILL RULES! MELT BANANA RULES!
do you actually like melt banana??
Yeah, I saw 'em with Tomahawk, Melvins and Isis in NYC. MB were like NOTHING i've ever heard before. I was instantly attracted. It's like yelpy japanese sludge punk!
melt banana? is that from the banana republic?
wow. they grate on me man, i can't stand them for more than a minute. i don't like the whole grind/wack sound they have going on.
Hahaha, they're nuts. Most of their songs are like a minute or two long, so that's just right for you.
that's nothing compared to sunshine will, they were the worst thing i've ever heard...but the shirt was 5 bucks so i bought it
