People still don't get it.. by purchasing this stuff you are paying them to do their advertising for them when in fact they should be paying you to wear it.. Imagine people wearing Charmin toilet paper pants..
My message to the Brown family.. Send me a Bengals jersey along with a check to cover my portion of the advertising budget and I'll be more than happy to help.

I closed my eyes and imagined myself in my Leon Hall jersey. Then I closed my eyes and imagined myself with a Charmin shirt.

Sooo, do you walk around naked? Because otherwise you are paying Levi Strauss/Wrangler/Lee/etc. to do their advertising instead of getting free pants and a check.

Check is in the mail from Charmin toilet paper.
Bengals need no advertising as they get plenty of TV time with stars wearing their gear already.

Here's what I came to...
Bengals Apparel = Cool
Toilet Paper Apparel = Wtf?
I've had three toilet paper shirts, they are a nightmare to wash.

I'm still waiting for that check I should get from Billy Joel because I had the window down while I had one of his songs on. Come on Billy, pay up!
Hey, I'm not telling you to not buy Bengals gear.. That's entirely up to you and I will think nothing less of you, but it is out there for one reason and one reason only..Free advertising that you're paying for.
The Levi analogy isn't a good one. The Levi logo is small and barely noticeable while a Bengals jersey pretty much screams Bengals. The reason I won't buy it is I grew up around advertising and have worked in the field.. It's kind of like the license plate frames with the dealers name all over it. You pay for those too when you buy a new car with one on it and receive no benefit other than paying for the dealers free ad.

Especially when they get wet and your finger pokes through.
But I do kinda get what grampahol was saying. I have always refused to wear T-shirts that say Nike or Abercrombie or stuff like that. I don't mind a tag like on my jeans and such, but when the company name is the theme of the decoration I feel the same way as him....they should be paying me for the advertising space. Now I don't go as far as he implicates, I do have shirts supporting teams and places I have visited, etc. But I won't wear company names as the main theme.

Personally have never understood why people drive around with the dealer license plate frame on their car. No thanks.
65,000 people also never gather in one spot to express their love for Levis, though I'd like to see how that would work.
