Would you avoid a brand if you can't stand the name?

[bobby alto]

Browsing through different internet clothing sites I came to the conclusion that I absolutely cannot stand the name Perks and Mini. Something about that name annoys me so much that I won't even look at their clothing to see if I like it or not. This ever happened to any of you?

Johnny Cupcakes

Be Advised: Morgan Nixon AKA Moman631 AKA Moman6040 is a fraud.

[ktothe]

Ofcourse. I also avoid brands that are fronted by, and primarily worn by people that I cant stand.

the thing i love is how hollister in California is also a city (not just 'hollister beach')... this city is full of mexican immigrants. their high school's mascot is the hay baler.

i was so confused when i was people wearing shirts that said hollister, at first i thought they came from that town. personally i want a hay baler shirt.

i think you guys are getting off-topic...i don't think he's talking about brands you don't like for whatever reason, he just says that would you wear a brand if you think the actual name is lame.

like, if i had a clothing company called 'faggy gear', you probably wouldn't fuck with it.

[M4TM]

faggy gear is the shit.

anyways, just pretend its "PAM" instead of perks and mini if that helps...

in general though, i agree, i wouldn't wear shit if i really couldn't stand the brandname.

although i do have a jacket from queer aesthetic.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

[werdtoyourmoms]

definately. first impressions are worth a lot.

therefore johnny cupcakes is a joke.

depends, if it had pictures of bundles of sticks and cigarettes, it could be the next hipster fashion in speaking out against sexual biases

the idea was great with Andre has a posse--- but using the name for the sake of selling a clothing brand? i'm sorry, phenomenology was the shit, but mass marketing that shit is not the shit if you know what i mean.

[damnIam]

Only if the name is plastered all over the product. I hate gratitous branding.

[neawts]

Definitely. Even if a brand has a well crafted image, it can be ruined by a bad name.

Like someone asks what brand your new coat is. You say, "Oh, it's a Camel Nutsack." You get the idea. The shit might be hot, but then you think to yourself, why the fuck am I wearing a camel nutsack?

[bobby alto]

add chip and pepper to my list

[chadler]

"acne" is kind of a turn off for me. i mean...ewwww...

[evisu 2000]

i am, but i've got ocd. also applies to electronics, even dvds (i am exclusive to criterions now, bleh) etc. it sucks but whatever.

Heh, me too. But only when people ask me what kind of jeans they are and I have to say it out loud.

I feel exactly the same about the obey. I'll probably never wear it just because it makes his art look like a marketing ploy.

[iamthemaniac]

Lee, and wrangler. I really hate those names, brrrrr.
