But how can you show them that you bought an overpriced shirt made by a child in Bangladesh?

Screenprint the notice right on the shirt: this shirt supports Bangladeshi child welfare

Kinda makes everyone else jerks if they’re buying clothes from makers who could afford their next meal regardless.

Wait… Is that 2020s really what it looks like now?! Or is the meme just 5 years old?

I have several polo Ralph Lauren clothing items in my home, the logo hasn’t changed significantly in 30+ years in shape or size on the normal polos. They do have some items that have the polo logo or the teddy bear larger but those are in the main Ralph Lauren line for fashion, not the Polo line polo shirts that are a business casual intent

I can dig the 2040’s.

But of an un branded vibe to it too.

I always make car dealers take their own sticker or badge off of any vehicle I buy. I usually offer to keep the advertising in place, in exchange for a discount, but they never take me up on it.

I make removal of any dealership branding a condition of purchase.

Hell yeah, brandalism is already too pervasive and just kind of accepted. Good on you.

Funny to see this, because I haven’t bought a vehicle in a long time, but I had the EXACT same thought.

I grimace every time I see that hideous “CarMax - - -” decal stuck to the actual car body.

Same with license plate frames that are like “Huge ‘Dicky’ Richard’s Auto Circus Emporium Honda Jeep Lexus - We rub you right!

At least those just tell me “the driver is likely lazy or can’t identify a screwdriver.” But an actual decal? Yeah they better take it off, and discount me if they scratch it in the process. :p

Obnoxious, man.

At least they aren’t riveting badges onto cars anymore I’ve heard that used to be super common during the 60s and 70s Personally I hate how my 56 bel air has a AAA of Syracuse screwed into the bodywork of my trunk so even if I remove it there’s still going to be a hole in my trunk so I’m personally pretty glad all this branding today are just decals and stickers that can easily be removed with a eraser wheel or plastic blades

Woah that’s particularly egregious! I’m sure it seems like way more trouble than it’s worth, but nowadays maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to replace it with something cool. :)

Like a metal 3D printed badge of some sort or something creative.

I’m sure glad they don’t do that anymore though. The entitlement of forcing customers to be zombie advertisers is so disgusting.

Absolutely. I always shake my head when I get behind a sharp looking vehicle and it’s ruined by a dealer sticker.

The irony is that this is often true. I have always preferred shirts that have minimal advertising on them (preferably none, but a dime sized insignia is generally the best you get) but they are notably harder to find and when you do, they are more expensive. The happy medium I have found is looking for used Polo type shirts that were expensive when new, which I can generally find cheaply because collars aren’t a popular look these days.

You mean blank t-shirts? Because blank t-shirts are usually a lot cheaper than ones with a logo, and most other kinds of shirts I don’t usually see logos on them but maybe we shop in different places. For t-shirts I used to get them from a screen printing vendor because I liked ha ING multiple different colored shirts and they were usually around like 2-3 dollars per shirt depending on the brand

Not bad, but I was mostly referring to brand names, generally with better fabric than just blank t shirts. I have plenty of those shirts that have Pima or other expensive fabrics that I paid $5-20 for a piece used. They are a lot more comfortable, and generally last longer.
