T-shirts, who's are you wearing?

I'd rather know whose :woot:

Fender & Ernie Ball
I paid for the Fender T with a Stratocaster on it. I don't remember the last time I wore it, because I haven't owned a Strat for over a year.

The Ernie Ball shirt was free, along with a gross of picks & some stickers of their various string pack covers.

I'll probably never pay for another brand name t-shirt again, as it's kind of like giving the company free advertising that you paid for.

Rickenbacker,but inadvertently. :thumbsup:
 
I have to Frank Zappa T-shirts...
A whole bunch of micro brewery shirts...
A single Epifani shirt (given to me by Nick at a NAMM show about 15 years ago)
A few Padres shirts (which really are embarrassing, these days)

The rest are blank - I'm not really good with providing advertising (for anything but craft beer) without getting paid to do so.

I don't wear logo'd clothes. It is against my principles to freely advertise for
any company by allowing their logo on my clothing.
In my younger years I was a motorcycle racer and several companies paid me to wear their logos by providing gear and supporting my participation in the sport.
I still have some motorcycle industry T shirts but that's about it. No one in the musical gear industry is paying me to advertise their products so why would I?
Just because I play a Fender guitar? Fender isn't helping to cover my expenses.
Now, if some of the music gear companies want to start sending me strings, picks, guitars, amps, etc., I'll give it some consideration. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to find clothing with no logos. I do have one T shirt with a silkscreen of Christopher Walken on the front...it says "I Gotta Have More Cowbell!".

I've got a jack Daniel's, a Cash that looks like the JD logo, a shirt with "WWF" on it and the world wildlife panda with another standing behind it with a steel chair, a new Ramones shirt (my lollapalooza 96 one finally disintergrated), and 6 or so of the trusty black pocket T fruit of the loom.
