Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Addition: If anyone knows where I get some non-branded ones please pipe up. I have seen them but I immediatly suspicious because they are always cheaper. But then, maybe I am paying extra for a name.
My thoughts EXACTLY!!!!!

Which is why I don't wear any clothing at all with the brand names and logos blatantly visible. I abhor clothing like that.

I get most of my jerseys from here: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_l...=1162687319890

Yes, they do have the brand names somewhere on them, but it is subtle. You'd have to look for it to see it.

Another place I've gotten some of my jerseys is here: http://www.nashbar.com/results.cfm?c...2D%20Women%27s

Some might have some branding on them, but most are pretty plain.


Oh, I should mention, the only time I don't mind logos and stuff is when I've participated in an event that was sponsored by certain companies, and as a part of the entry fee, I received a jersey or T-shirt with the sponsoring companies on it. I figure in those situations the sponsoring companies have in some way contributed to my comfort and enjoyment of the event, so in return, I'll wear the "free" article of clothing with their names on it.
