My last new car I told them to remove their dealer stuff and then watched. They weren’t pleased, as I’d already done very well in the pricing.
I finally found t-shirts with pockets without any branding on the pocket, I bought extra.
Given up on “polo” shirts and the like.
Hardest thing for me though is finding solid/rugged plain sweatshirts. The ones I see are all low quality.
Was just in a converse store with my daughter and the funny thing is all the “special” ones with pretty patterns and different motifs were 1/2 the cost of the solid colored versions. I think you might be on to something about the swing back eventually coming. Maybe sooner than I’d of thought based on that pricing.
We have also done this for years. If I can’t remove it or hide it we don’t buy it.
Seems like a lot of work to accomplish nothing.
Try getting a ball cap without a logo.
I go to a store that sells only caps and have them special order me caps with no logos - usually buy 4 which last me a while. Does not cost any more (or less) just takes a little effort.
“I don’t waste the time to remove logos, but if the logo is more than a square inch or so, I just don’t buy it.”........
I’m curious, do you own a car, truck, etc? or take the bus EVERYWHERE you go? Most vehicles have “logo’s” on them.
Ah, the idiocy of politically correct.
If a person has to use a label to impress because the workmanship isn't that good, does it really show something is 'superior' or just that it costs more?
OR worse - a person using a label as a way 'to 'lord it over others' at Christmas time? The epitome of 'tacky'.... I mean, Christmas? Come on...show some class.
This was my previous car.
No Ford or Mustang logos.
And 25 years ago, the fashionable thing was to brazenly display the logo. Every pair of blue jeans had the “designer’s” name prominently stitched across the backside.
Exactly my thoughts on this. I've been logo averse for decades, for that very reason.
First thing I do, after purchasing a vehicle, is remove the dealer's advertising.
>>I’m curious, do you own a car, truck, etc? or take the bus EVERYWHERE you go? Most vehicles have “logo’s” on them.
We are talking about clothes, not cars. But, for the record, I do not go for vehicles with huge stickers that proclaim the make of the car. I also won’t take delivery of a vehicle if it has a dealership sticker on it.
We have asked dealers to remove them and never use a dealer license plate frame.
And they're all removable.
p.s. you forgot to rip the apostrophe tag off the word, logos.
This is a 3x5x1/8th inch plastic medallion glued on with automotive or better grade adhesive. Truly an obnoxious label. I am going to try heat and solvent while I pry next. I just had it at the new service center and forgot to ask them to remove it. I am sure they would have been happy to oblige.
It's even worse. They have cargo ships parked offshore in Italian waters, filled with Chinese workers who cannot legally enter Italy. They do all of the work on the ships, bring the items ashore for wholesale distribution, and you get "Made in Italy." Well, it was...kind of.
Of course, we in turn offer you the Armenian mafia, and their illegal alien workers (half of whom are men who look like they just got of out an MS-13 meeting) in garage sweatshops in Los Angeles and bring it to you as "Made in the USA" - so we aren't doing a whole lot better. :)
But we hold this election at America's cash registers every day, and cheap beats quality every single time.
Removing all the swooshtikas from a Nike product would take months...
