I have a drawer full to t-shirts from outfits like Cisco, IBM, Dell, Broadcom, and so on. I wear them when I’m working in the yard. Many are stained with paint, torn, and generally worn out.
My thinking. I’m not being paid to advertise for them (now if I were, I’d wear them all day long).
I do buy T-shirts that have stuff printed on them. I don’t know if you’d call the U.S. Army a brand. But I have more than my share of T-Shirts that proclaim I was once a member of that that team. I also have plenty of T-Shirt that announce to the world that I was Military Police.
And I have T-Shirts that proclaim to the world I’m a writer. My favorite is the one that says you shouldn’t annoy the wearer. He might put you in his next novel and kill you.
So brands!
Remember, I’m also a cowboy which means brands are for cattle.
I don’t need no stinking brands!

As long as it was not a hot poker that branded you, cowboy… ; )

I know a cowboy who backed into a hot branding iron. I haven’t seen his butt since the day of the accident, but I’m sure he still has it.
