Are you actually this obtuse in real life or is it just internet Polak?

I'm not suggesting I'm sticking it to anyone, or have a problem being a billboard.

I'm currently wearing a t-shirt with a massive arcteryx logo, and a hoodie with a bigger black diamond logo. I have no problem being a walking billboard, nor do I have a problem supporting companies who's product I like.

GMC? Yup, like their trucks. Have no issue with the badge on the back. Stampede GMC? No, not such a huge fan, so I removed the dealership crest.

I have no issue with wearing a jersey with a small reebok logo (since they make the jersey), a small NHL crest (since the Flames play in the NHL), and a big flaming C. But I despise Tim Hortons. So let's say for this example, we go full soccer, and there's a massive Tim Hortons logo on it, and at the bottom a very tiny flaming C.

I have no desire to be a walking billboard for a company I despise to barely show support for the hockey team I love.

And yes, it's exactly like skipping out on a jersey because I don't like the style. Good luck? Good luck on what? Not buying material good that is by no means necessary to my day to day life, or enjoyment of watching my team? Good luck not spending $130 on something I don't like when I have every other iteration that I do like? I'm not entirely sure what luck has to do with it, and I'm not entirely sure how you can stake such a claim on what others will do.
