I've never owned a branded piece of clothing in my life aside from a Roots sweatshirt when I was a teenager, when that was a Big Deal, and I don't understand why an adult would.

- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Are there people who do this???
Presumably so, otherwise there wouldn't be advertising.
I refuse to wear branded clothing like that and I use ublock origin. 🤷
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.
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.
