Do You Wear It! Vote #1 - Affliction Clothing
Perhaps this is more the younger generation, but I have been curious, does anyone on hear wear Affliction clothing?
I have a couple shirts and a hoodie, but I am not a big fan of most of their stuff, so I guess I am a yes but it is what it is. So who hear actually wears Affliction stuff? |

I don't wear the MMA brand clothes (not that I hate them or anything, they're just not in my clothes).

It's expensive clothes for "tough guys" that have things like goblins and angels on them. It's like for people that kick asses that might secretly play Magic Cards.... ...just like detox

It sounds like you'd have a sickness if you wore these clothes....or you belong in a sanitarium.

I think people who pay $50-100 for cotton T-shirts are retarded. Ditto for $100-1000 jeans.
I can still remember surfing to Amazon.com like 5 years ago, and stumbling upon my first $50+ T-shirt (I think it was Nike, and was ~$82), and it simultaneously blew my complete world view AND made me feel 200 years old. |

I guess it might be time for vote #2. This one is overwhelmingly in the "no" category. Next up?

Hmmm. Highest I'd go is probably in the $80-$90 range. That is pretty much the sweet spot for nice, brand name, wear-out-on-Friday-nights jeans.

Where do all of these people get money to regularly spend $66 on an Affliction shirts (which to me, looking at the site, is insane) and $80 and up on jeans? I don't think your crazy if you actually get quality for that money.

I have no problem spending over $100 on a nice pair of jeans but not on a tshirt.
The thing that makes me laugh about the affliction cloths are the people that where them are so stereotypical. twenty-something year old guy with a peachfuzz shaved head, angry looking with a tribal band tattoo and a chain connected to his wallet |

I find it fairly amusing that the elitist attitudes in this thread are mostly from those who don't wear this style of clothing/shirt. I'm not a huge fan of the Affliction designs themselves, but I'm assuming the Tapout one's are close enough that most of the comments going on in this thread would apply to them as well (at least in regards to design, price wise I don't think I've spent more than $25 or $30 per shirt).
I mean really, a resident of the Black Hole saying I should be in a sanitarium because of my clothing huh

I'm currently sitting in my living room, wearing a 5 dollar T and my favorite 8.99 Steve and Barry jeans. I can't fathom paying more that $25 on jeans and about 10-15 on a T. I just don't really get it at all. Of course, I don't go clubbing and am happily married, so that may factor in as well.

Her's my problem with Affliction clothing:
You're dressing either to impress other dudes, or to show off how much money you have. Rather than dressing up in something designed to attract women, you're dressing to intimidate (or impress) other dudes. A MMA shirt says either "I'm a tough guy" or "I'm a fan of mixed martial arts", and is more an exercise in Alpha-maleism than it is a mating dance...they may eventually lead to the same ends, as plenty of chicks DO want an Alpha male, and there's certainly nothing wrong with being tough OR an MMA fan....but a $75 'Affliction' shirt seems more about a quick, modern way to assert your dominance (both physical and financial), rather than 'putting on your Sunday best'. It's my guess (and I certainly could be wrong) that most of the chicks at 'da club' don't even know what the hell Affliction clothing is, and if they do, it's because of the expense, not because of the 'unique' (not) designs and/or 'lifestyle' behind it. In that case, it doesn't matter what the hell the shirt is about or what it looks like, it's merely serving to show that you CAN spend $100 on a T-shirt, and you know that is ridiculous, but you make SO MUCH money, and spend it SO freely, that you don't care. In that case, the more a T-shirt costs, the better, which brings me back to the whole "retarded" thing. It's the T-shirt equivalent of 'making it rain'. Now, I don't mean to suggest that dressing for dudes is necessarily a bad thing, or even unusual....to some degree it's the same with sports jerseys, goatees, tribal tattoos, collector-edition sneakers, video-game clothes, and shit like that. Generally (of course there are exceptions), the ladies don't care about that shit. If you hear a "Nice jersey!", "Go (team XXXX)!", "Awesome kicks!" or "Great ink!", there's barely any chance those words were uttered in a (sober) female voice. Basically, I see this kind of clothing as a way to suggest to other males that you are tough while also suggesting to the womenfolk that you spend money freely. There's definitely nothing wrong with that, and doesn't have to be defended, but it's certainly 180 degrees from how I roll (and I have the profound absence of ladies to prove it). |

Never heard of it until now. I don't know, kinda like the designs.. something I'd probably wear playing 40K or something. Wouldn't pay $50 for a T-shirt though...

"Hey, baby -- look at me in my sweet, expensive, designer threads" has never really been the way I rolled. That being said: Upon checking the web site out for 30 seconds, I actually think the shirts are really interesting. Last edited by boberot : 10-02-2008 at 08:52 AM. |
