I've been wondering for years about the whole logo clothing thing. When I was a kid, you could write away to, for example, STP or Moon or Hooker (all racing product manufacturers), and they'd send you piles of logo stickers and such.
Now, you *pay* premium pricing for manufacturers' logos on your otherwise unremarkable clothing. I don't really get it, I guess.
I do have a couple of shirts that have the old Moog Music logo on them, but they were made by a friend of mine and given to me for nothing.
Now, if only I hadn't had to sell my Mini Moog in order to be able to afford to keep my ARP 2600. Looks like I need an ARP shirt. I don't have any objection to wearing advertising for companies that don't exist anymore (okay, Moog exists in a couple of forms, but they aren't using this logo anymore).
