I am not able to identify the brand of clothing based on the image.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Lucky, you've managed to avoid the branding campaign. That's kind of a big one.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t know why nobody is telling you. It’s adidas. The stripes down the sides are part of the brand, so the logo isn’t needed.

I only knew because in school, the A.ll D.ay I. D.ream A.bout S.ex

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I think it's some sort of Slavic tuxedo

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

Same. And such a small brand logo.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe it’s more about the trademarked logo than the trademark look-and-feel

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Usually it's even dumber than that. Shows use the logos to try to blackmail large companies into paying them for "advertising", and if the companies don't pay up they censor the logos.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

yea all logos and names of brands are heavily trademarked, using them in your own works isn't allowed unless you get written premission/contract for advertising for them or if it's incidental use (imagine the main character running through a busy street and a small Apple ad flashes at the edge of the screen somewhere for 2s, if someone tries to sue for that courts are most likely to dismiss the case with a legalese equivalent of "bruh chill")

Can somebody explain what i'm missing? The logo is blurred correctly and can't be read

[–] pturn1@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The three stripes down shoulders and legs are usually indicative of a certain German sportswear brand.

Yeah, i recognize the brand, but i thought it had to be more than that. The purpose of censoring the logo is usually legal and to be clear what is and what is not product placement. That is done correctly, so i'd say this doesn't fit this community

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Right, it's not about making it impossible to tell who made the clothing, it's about hiding the legally trademarked logos.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's sort of like blurring out the word Crocs on a pair of Crocs. There's no point.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

a certain German sportswear brand.

Puma?

I’ve never understood why anyone would pay money to be a walking billboard.

It's all about conspicuous consumption; gotta show that you can afford the real article. Some people really do believe in the power of "pay to win" and bolt-on status points, and by all accounts, are actively supported by their peers.

On occasion, branded stuff really is the best value. IMO, that's usually when a brand is starting out, not when they're popular.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Otherwise people wouldn't be able to tell that you spent $75 on your T-shirt instead of $25

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

$25 for a T-shirt? Try $5! I buy 32 Cool shirts in a big ol bulk bag at Costco. I have around 20 of the exact same shirt, and I wear them every day.

The more stripes - the more [brand]
