Most of their shirts aren't $100. Most are between $30 - $50. If you don't like them, don't buy them. Simple as that.

Lmao, that was a really ignorant statement. For the record, I can afford the shirts, I'm just smart enough to know that my hard earned money is better spent on something else other than a dumb fad. 1. I know it was ignorant. But not nearly as ignorant as the losers who bash Affliction in every thread it comes up in. What other reason would someone have to have legit hate for a ing Clothing Brand? People tend to hate what they cant have. 2. As far as a "fad" goes....There are more people who don't know what the Affliction is, than people who actually wear it. I never said I hated it, just that people that are willing to spend that much money on a t-shirt are stupid. But it's cool, I'm sure you were all over the "Jnco" craze too.

Well, I don't hate them, but i do have a stong distaste for them.
and people who can afford them, is mostly high school kids who beg their parents to buy them. So by afford, you mean, "have my mommy or daddy buy them for me." then no, i cant afford them.
But i just wouldnt spend that much on a t-shirt. i have other fianances to worry about. Like Gasoline, rent, car payments, insurance, and etc.
and yeah, everyone who doesn't wear or buy Affliction shirts because they think it's ridiculous, is just poor, yeah, that's it bro...It's called having a "budget."
No, it's just alot of intelligent people don't waste money on shirts that cost 5 bucks to make. when they have other real problems to worry about, other than a logo on a shirt.
Like I said, not everyone feels the need to express themselves with their t-shirts.

Any pair of jeans where you can conceal a shotgun without worry can't be that bad.

Thats all fine, but don't bash anyone for wearing it. Just because you would prefer not to spend money on clothes, doesn't mean I, or anyone else is less intelligent than you. Your whole "5 bucks to make" point is null and void, for the simple fact that just about everything we all buy, costs more than it did to make. Those figures you buy? Didn't cost 10 bucks to make. Video games don't cost 60 bucks to make. And talking down to "logo's on a T shirt" because you have "real problems" doesn't make you better than anyone else. I find it funny how people make it a point to act high and mighty because they only spend 5 bucks on a shirt, like that makes them better than those who spend money for things they want.

Buddy, i buy clothes, i just dont buy those t-shirts.
and i dont buy figures/video games. I bought figures as a child, not anymore.
Like i said, I have things I MUST spend my money on. I have no choice but pay my rent, buy gas, etc.
and yes, the 5 bucks to make gimmick, is valid. Not for the things you mentioned, not TOYS and video games, but FOOD and Gasoline, etc.
and im not talking down on "logos" lol, god you are dense. I'm saying not everyone expresses themselves with their t-shirt logos. Because it's true.
I never said it made me better, I said I have a "budget" for the month and my "mommy and Daddy" don't buy my school clothes every year.
and im def. not high and mighty. "real problems' as you quoted, makes you far from that. Which I don't have problems that anyone else who is an adult w/ a home, job, and vehicle, doesn't have.
I just don't spend that much money on A T SHIRT (you said i didnt buy clothes, i guess "clothes" are now all "affliction tshirts"), i buy clothes, as stated above, i just dont buy a t shirt for that expensive, just so i can look cool as a i walk down the street.
The fact is, most of the kids buying these shirts, are having their parents buy them, so they can walk down their hall in school and feel "high and mighty" and in-style.

I'll just stick with Steve & Barry's, where T's are $8 for anything with a design, & like $3 for a plain T.

If Affliction was cool, Rambo would shed their shirts like a snake sheds it's skin.

That is what i mean, whats the difference between a Afflicition shirt and a regular logo shirt for 10-15 bucks? The fact it's named "Afflicition"?

For totalcrisis13, afflictionclothing.com, and rockrebelclothing.com both have a large selection of affliction tees. If you search ebay under affliction, you will get a crapload of pics. I am planning on going after the criss angel tee on ebay.

Affliction is great, I have three or four t-shirts I wear once in awhile, and one sweatshirt.

I don't hold a personal vendetta against the brand, but it's pretty obvious that some people are using their parents' money to buy it.

It's a personal choice for everyone. My tattoos arent for anyone to think are cool and arent a fad, they a permanent. and kids dont go out spending their allowance on tattoos either. So this was, spam? or a personal attack? or what? The funny thing is, my tattoos problay cost less than two of those shirts . AND those "affliction' shirts just look like tattoo sleeves on tshirts. Honestly, i wish i came up with this idea of "affliction".
