Pro tip: Most company logos go off easily with precise sanding tools you can get in hardware stores. Coming from someone who's had to buy the perfect pair of shoes (which were also the cheapest) which for some reason had one fugly logo on the back ruining it all. Sadly you can't really return them after, so you can only really do it if you're sure you will keep it, but sometimes that's enough.

EDIT: To clarify - I totally agree with the comic. This isn't an endorsement to buy brand clothing. I'm saying that sometimes you have no other choice, and this is the way to give the company the middle finger while still getting the quality you desire.

I wouldn't, but it really depends. I'm not saying you should just do this mindlessly. Sanding works well on those hard plastic blocks that they do sometimes put in the upper chest area.

So now we're buying the article of clothing, the branding on said clothing and precision tools to remove the branding from the article of clothing.

Not throwing shade at you specifically. That's a clever solution, I just kinda hate that this problem demands even more shit in order to get around.

Totally. It's why I specified "for a perfect pair of shoes which were also the cheapest", implying the flipside would be to spend more money for less quality, and often times also with a logo on it 😑 99.99% of my purchases specifically go for brand-less clothing, but I guess some people got the wrong impression.
