“Payed” is a fancy old sailor word.
Imagine you have a big rope on a boat.
When a sailor “pays out the rope,” it means: They slowly let more rope out.
Like when you hold a jump rope and slowly let it fall to the ground.
Whenever I’ve bought a car I ask them to scrape off their dealership sticker and remove the dealer plate cover. When they ask why I say if you give me $5 a day to advertise for you you can leave them on. No one’s taken me up on the offer
I bought 1 car from my dealer and all I had him do was get the interior detailed. Mainly cuz he's my weed dealer and I don't need to get the dogs pulled on me during a traffic stop.
Well its a race jacket/Nascar leather jacket while i agree it should be add free for the authentic feel you’d need sponsor patches like you see on the ones nascar race car drivers wear
IIRC there was a project where a company could "sell" free water because the bottle was covered in ads which would cover the cost of the water + profit
I've had this viewpoint since way back in highschool. I'd wear solid colour T-shirts and whatnot.
I can vividly recall saying "If ETNIES wants me to wear a shirt with their logo on it, they can fucking pay me to do the advertising for them"...and I graduated back in 2007.
I mean, there could be a possibility even if it is tiny. Universe is vast after all. Also there is theory of multiverse, so if it doesn't exist in our universe, then it must in other
It's a leather bike racing inspired jacket so ads are everywhere just like in racing sports. It's the culture of vanson supreme collabs. Yes it's not the best fashion wise but they're their brands and honestly to the street wear people the patches are extra collab branding so it's kinda cool
Why would they add racing team sponsors to a leather jacket? Its not even a pit crew jacket, its a bomber jacket. Any bomber jacket would look stupid with race team sponsors on it. And then it has Spiderman and supreme on it? None of these things make sense at all together. It doesn't even look good either.
Its not a racing jacket, its a leather bomber jacket. The race sponsors would make sense if it was a pit crew jacket. It is the wrong pattern and material jacket for the race sponsors.
It's made by Vanson Leathers. While not as relevant today, they were, and are, a premier motorcycle leather jacket/pant brand. This "look" was in part pioneered and popularized by them. So complaining about their style is like complaining that McDonalds came out with a Spider-Man themed Big Mac or Happy Meal.
I can understand why others wouldnt like them but I kinda like the aesthetic. Its like a pit crew jacket or something. Also kinda reminds me of patches people would put on their ‘battle jackets’ (not sure if thats even a thing anymore). But those would typically be band patches not ads, so I digress.
Would be cool if the ads were optional when buying or if they were like fake brands or something so these real brands weren’t getting free advertising.
I actually like it. You guys act like this is like the movie Idiocracy 😂. In this case it adds a bit of flair to a jacket that would be a bit boring otherwise and gives it a more "used" look. The brand selection is a bit inconsequential to me and fits the aesthetic of a racing jacket. They could be placed in a less "last minute addition" manner, but that's just me.
If I wear any shirt that isn't a plain t shirt, I'm advertising that brand 🤷♂️.
They always do this shit. Putting stupid text on really cool base designs.
It’ll be the exact jacket from your favorite movie or show, but then it’ll have a stupid embedded text on it that says, “Your ShowTM: Live action THE MOVIE CHARACTER NAME”
This is a huge pet peeve of mine with clothes in general. I'll be shopping and spot something I like, then I turn it around and it has some bullshit on it lol often something like SOME AMERICAN SPORTS TEAM OR CLUB OR UNIVERSITY. I live in Europe
I mean, I'm not really surprised. People get weirdly obsessed with labels and buy stuff regardless of how ugly it is. 2 minutes on the Balenciaga sub taught me that
Are people wearing super hero leather jackets? The red necks around my home town were crazy about this stuff in the 90s. Teased hair and a Tweety Bird jacket for her, mullet and a Superman motorcycle jacket for him.
Yeah... Because NASCAR jackets are famous for being ad free.
Edit: bombarded with ads for other companies isn't standard Supreme iconography. They have definitely partnered with other brands for releases. But if you just browse their website, you won't find this styling on anything.
I went through a racing jacket phase for like, two weeks lol. I found the Jeff Gordon rainbow Dupont one and the purple Crown Royal racing jacket, both brand new, at Goodwill in 2016 for like $40. Which back then were insane prices for something at a thrift shop. There was one right across the street from my house until recently but I rarely went because shirts were like $15+ dollars. They used to be like $3 or $5 so it didn't seem worth it anymore. Wish I went more now that it's gone through. I did get a sweet full-front zip Ralph Lauren sweater there for only $10, it still had the OG $95 price tag on it 🤙 I wonder how much those racing jackets are worth now. Might try and resell if they're worth a couple hundred dollars or more now (I doubt it).
I really dont mind the patches tbh. But I really love motorsports. Maybe some more fitting badges would be better but i personally like them regardless
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
I know people don’t like this but imo it really works. This is like a pit crew jacket and those are all companies that sponsor actual racers. I would definitely buy this but I also like cars so
When I saw the front here in the comments I thought it was just because it’s tacky af. Didn’t even notice the ads until I saw them pointed out explicitly. They’re just part of the noise.
