Is it just me that hates seeing logos on clothes, especially massive writing, people just look like a walking billboard, advertising the manufacturer’s they are wearing. Evening worse when it’s a middle age bloke, it makes me cringe. Having a subtle emblem is just about passable.
Anyone else feel the same, or am I being a snob ? |

Yes totally! Can’t stand it. I purposefully don’t buy handbags and clothes where the label is too obvious. |

You're not being a snob - it is chavvy

I have a mix of both
I am an odd shape
My preference is for non logo, but I find Timberland, Ralph Lauren and Carhartt have some great box fit tops that suit my build really well
For that reason as opposed to any 'look at me in my branded clothes' ones, I do wear the odd top with a logo
Big logos (on the front or on the back) should, however, be limited to t-shirts / summer holiday day wear |

You don’t buy clothes? Living with you’d be fun  |

"I hate the word 'chavvy!'
If someone wants to wear Burberry fake or otherwise then I'm fine with it.
Who am I to 'label' them?
Who are you?
"
The chavs appear to be doing a good job 'labeling' themselves |

"I'd rather not have a logo on my clothes either. I don't care where my clothes are from so long as I like them and they fit well be that H&M or Tommy!"
I like it when Tommy fits me well. |

If you mean brands such as Nike and the like and fashion labels then i agree.
If you mean merely pictures, then not. I've got loads of music band t-shirts plus one that says 'gardening...comes in handy when you need to hide the bodies'.  |

There and to the left a bit |
I buy clothes because I like them and they fit, not because they have or haven't got a logo - I own and wear everything from Florence & Fred (aka Tesco) to Superdry and Ted Baker - will only buy Levis jeans, and tend to wear Converse or Vans on my feet - if that makes me chavvy in some people's eyes then it's not my problem.
I'm not in any way defined by a logo, like I said I just happen to like whatever item of clothing it comes on. |

When I was at school everyone had to have kickers school shoes, Adidas trackie bottoms and a Dunlop bag. I couldn't afford to conform so I took a stance against branded stuff for my own sanity |

For me, it's not so much the actual visibility / display of such branding, it's more a case of which brand?
As a chap who grew up spending the majority of his schooling years through the eighties, and his young adult years spanning the nineties, I still find myself gravitating towards certain brands popular during those particular decades.
I guess my image would be best categorised as a classy mod / indie pop look (I dont wear a tux all the time you know!).
General rule of thumb; if you look as though you've just stepped out of the Selfridges clothing dept, you've probably got it right - conversely, if you look as though you've just exited Sports Direct / ordered online at M&M Direct, you've failed (and I'd hazard a guess that you perform your grocery shopping at Asda!). |

I almost bought a Raging Bull t shirt the other day. It had the brand name in large type on the front, but I liked the design, as I have a thing for typography. Was a white t shirt, with a blue embroidered flower pattern in the letters, and decent quality bold outline stitching.
I guess I’m saying I wouldn’t *not* buy something if it had the brand on it *if* I liked the design. That would be like cutting my nose off to spite my face.
Bit if anything I prefer something a bit more subtle. Not really for the brand, but it can add a bit of detail to something. Like the little tags on some Superdry stuff. |

Doesn't really bother me. My friend designs clothes as a little hobbie and his designs are great and big and would be cheap as chips if it was in a shop.  |

"The real irony is seeing sports logos on overweight middle aged men, still, whatever makes them happy. "
This! And women imo!
I don’t care what brands people wear(or unbranded clothes!)
If you look like you actually exercise occasionally then fine! If the only thing you ever exercise is your mouth when chewing - then no sportswear looks good - branded or otherwise!
