    LOL first reply is about being a "conformist". My boy.

    Paul as for the actual thread topic, I think it proves how much of a man you are. Like walking around with a 12 inch dildo hanging out of your pants and passing it as your dick.

    Eh, things like this just urk me. Why spend $90 on a shirt like this, when it'll be $10 in just a few weeks? The mark-up on this crap is amazing.

    somethings are worth getting name brand, somethings arent, and that shirt would categorize as not worth it

    Target and Kohl's have the same style of shirts, better quality and fitment, for around $12-$24. Affliction my arse.

    Word

    I think there cool, but still would own maybe like one or two. but the desgin would have to be really something that I loved.

    But like airmax said, Target and Kohls got similar shirt for cheaper.

    I see more non MMA douchewads wearing Affliction and Tapout than those who actually are into the sport. Posers are funny.

    Amen...I've been in the sport for years and years and I only have one Affliction shirt cuz my girlfriend bought it for me for V-day lol...I just hate that the sport is like now a fad when a while ago no one really cared...and now everyone is an "MMA Fighter" or a "black belt in jiujitsu"

    for the same reason black people wear ed hardy shirts or shirts/jackets/pants with cartoon characters on them...


    it's all lame.. but it's just something people do.. i agree i actually like the look of a lot of affliction shirts.. BUT i don't want to look like every other doucher out there wearing one.. plus i'm not spending that kinda money...

    .

    Don't forget the Nascar jackets....

    Seriously though, I did at one point wear Ed Hardy and that was waaaaaaay before it became the "in" thing to do and as soon as hoodrats starting wearing the fake ass shit they purchased in the Korean stores in the mall, I moved on to other shit.

    yeah, don't get me wrong i wear "name brand" clothes.. i own a crap load of hurley shirts things of that nature.. BUT i buy 90% of them from marshalls/tj max!! lol 10 bucks a shirt!!! but it's cause i just like the shirts.. i don't care who else is or isn't wearing them...


    what kills me about ed hardy/affliction is people will wear these shirst with jeans and dress shoes to a club and consider themselves "dressed up" that i don't get...

    I get what you're saying...

    Personally, I try to find brands that aren't too mainstream but I do have my staples like Guess, A/X, and Express.

    Ha.
    I sure will.
    Look up the retail on Guess and True Religion jeans, which is what I wear.
    Nikes are easy to spend $100 on at the minimum, without blinking....

    If I like something I will get it, regardless of the price tag.
    I don't chastise others for not spending as much on their clothing but I also don't make any apologies for how much I spend on mine.

    Ha ha, there are a lot of people at my school that wear those, and ed hardy is a big thing here. A very big thing up here. Hollister, and American Eagle is another one. But I've never seen so much Ed hardy in a high school..

    I just like REALLY busy looking shirts. I dont wear affliction anymore because it got too out of hand. I do like some Ed Hardy shirts though. I never go cheap on shoes or jeans. Looking nice is never a bad thing! Girls dont like the skater punks anymore guys. SORRY! Atleast not the girls that I would date, haha

    Well i'm married so impressing teenie boppers or dumb chicks that think any of the above clothing is cool probably aren't chicks i would date anyway.

    i think what cracks me up even more is the people who wear tattoo looking clothes that don't have tattoos or if they do have something lame like a tribal arm band or asian characters that are supposed to be Good Fortune but spell out YOU HAVE A SMALL PENIS

    Ed Hardy is the one out of those 3 where you could pull it off as well dressed. Tapout is trailor park now. And Afflicition is just meat heads.


    Edhardy is actually nice clothes I think
