Orengimomo Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Do you love underage drinking? Love paying outrageous prices for cheap clothing? Want to have a poor body image? Like clothing catalogs that are 1/3 clothing and the rest is naked people? Well then Abercrombie and Fitch is perfect for you! I dont know about the rest of you, but in my school everyone wears Abercrombie, and it disgusts me, I used to not have a reason to hate abercrombie until I went to this site that was about closing Abercrombie, and they had some good reasons (the reasons are above). I dont like how they have their logo printed on everything, and most of the time in huge letters. What do you think about Abercrombie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-s/<itzo- Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Personally i don't wear Abercrombie. it's not my style. alot of white people i know wears it though. it's like FUBU for white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I don't really care for any clothing that has the companies name in big letters all over it. I mean, really the only point is the whole, "Look at me! Look at me! I'm wearing this certain brand" trip that some people seem to get from wearing clothes like that. It's quite ludicrous.

Taos Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Yeah, I hate the "bulletin board" style of clothing that A & F is.........cologne smells good though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orengimomo Posted November 8, 2002 Author Share Posted November 8, 2002 I agree with everyone, especially the cologne part, and how AaF is the FUBU for white people, even though, a lot of white people where fubu in my school, ugh ebonic plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I hate those bastards. They charge like 70 dollars for a t-shirt that has "Abercrombie and Fitch" plastered all over it. I don't know why anyone would want to be a walking billboard... I've only seen girls wear it, but I do know one guy who wears Abercrombie and Fitch.... He's gay. Nuff said.

Acrylic Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 No way. I'm a guy, and I like American Eagle and A+F and all that. I like A+F cologne. I wear it everyday. And, I really love Old Navy jeans. Yes. You could say I'm part preppie. I just love that style of clothing. I dont like FUBU style. I just dont like it at all.

Skate Boy Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I couldn't care less about clothing. I'm not going to buy some $50 shirt just so I'm "cool". I'll stick with my plain old clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 The thing with brand names is... All youre doing is paying to advertise their stuff. You're just a walking billboard. I'd rather have a good looking, quality shirt for $20/30 rather than some skunjy one with a big logo or the brand in writing on the front for the same price, if not more. Tis stupid...

Elijah Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 in that case, why dont they pay us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Good question I spose, it's advertising to people to get them to buy more advertising.... So if the advertising was free, or they paid us, it wouldnt do any good... coz the thing theyre trying to sell is the advertising, not some other product... Shame though.. good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZePhyR Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I'm wearing an Abercrombie shirt right now. My entire wardrobe is made up of almost all AE Stuff. I like their clothes, and their jeans are really the only thing thats really not worth the money they charge for it. Plenty of guys wear it as well as girls. I think girls that wear it look hot. I'm really into the preppy girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XERXES Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 i do wear AF, but only pants. now all the little kiddos that go buy stuff from only them, and wear the shirts with the outrageously large logos i think are just tools. There are many other brands i can think of that are better quality. edit: and btw, sex sells... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratmjedi Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I like my skater clothing. It's comfortable and is affordable and looks good to. Abercrombie and Fitch is just preppy clothes. My girlfriend thought that that people at my school wore that because a friend of hers that lives here in Cali said they wear it here. I am proud to say that I think that no one wears that kind of clothing at my school. All the guys have the Skater look and the girls just look good but don't dress like the people in the Abercrombie and Fitch stuff. I personally never heard of the company untill I saw people on the Internet and there obssesion with the company on their profiles. I really don't care what my girlfriend were's as long as she like it. I think that Abercrombie and Fitch clothing is just a stereo type that young people think they should look like.

PERIOD Tell that to many of the people who wear those clothes. Of course, they'll probably agree with you but deep inside, it's not what they really think.

Boba Rhett Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I was just saying that lots of those people have convinced themselves that they wear those "billboardish" cloths because they choose to and not to do it just to "fit in" and be that type of person. The agreement thing was just my comment on how they wouldn't admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
