Brand Names that Turn You Off

There is a brand I keep seeing at Winners that I can't remember the name of -- button-up shirts with Laguna Beach-style super-thick contrast stitching all over everything and weird extra flaps and buttons all over as well, I'm talking buttons randomly placed on the collar, all kinds of heinous ****. I'll snap a photo next time I see one if I'm carrying my cell phone.

+1 on Ed Hardy

I've always loathed Old Navy clothing, too. If you're the cheapest clothing store this side of Walmart why on earth would you put your brand name on your clothes??? Nobody could possibly be proud to be shopping there, why not let them hide their shame the way they probably want to?

It absolutely disgusts me to see anything the least bit branded (including the "subtle" pocket designs) by Hollister, Abercrombie, AE, and Aeropostale worn by anyone who looks like they're out of college.

Yea, it's a terrible shame seeing that brand strategy in the US Open. It just made it reek of cheap, gaudiness.


Polo has such a recognizable logo, I have no idea why they thought they needed to make it that obnoxious.

i agree with the guy who says old navy sucks.so my view here is any logo that represents cheap clothiong.... @Butter-very poor choice on their end for sure! @Butter- they also have the new line of hats and cologne with the over grown label

Yep but according to Urban Dictionary, "All over Spain, "de puta madre" means extremely good, appealing, desirable. It applies to people, situations, experiences, anything." Still a crappy name though.

Speaking of out of control "branding" ...

I am a fan of Gucci in the sense that I typically like what they send down the runway (though most of it's too unimaginative to be worth even 1/4 of the asking price) but I ******* loathe that all-over monogram. I can't quite put my finger on why, but to me it's way worse than LV's various all-over prints, which are still awfully gaudy.

If that was a plain khaki jacket with just the red & green stripe around the collar, fine. But even then there's nothing interesting about the design that I can see from this photo and I'm sure it cost more than a thousand bucks.

(I have to ask, what on earth is LOSO?)

Hermes made a soft document/briefcase a year or two back that was called the "Pursangle." I thought that was a dumb name, especially for a $9000 bag.
Heh, also Tardini.

I agree with you - I really don't mind some of Gucci's runway clothing either. But, that **** is out of control. It's even worse when there is custom installed Gucci upholstery in the Range Rover that matches the jacket.

Wouldn't wear anything by Polo because of their stupid-ass emblem/horse...also, I
want nothing to do with bastards who wear said clothing

Agreed. I go out of my way to get stuff that isn't branded, or else I remove the labeling. I already paid for the ****, why would I advertise for free on top of it?
