Otherwise people wouldn't be able to tell that you spent $75 on your T-shirt instead of $25
It's all about conspicuous consumption; gotta show that you can afford the real article. Some people really do believe in the power of "pay to win" and bolt-on status points, and by all accounts, are actively supported by their peers.
On occasion, branded stuff really is the best value. IMO, that's usually when a brand is starting out, not when they're popular.

The more stripes - the more [brand]
Can somebody explain what i'm missing? The logo is blurred correctly and can't be read
The three stripes down shoulders and legs are usually indicative of a certain German sportswear brand.
a certain German sportswear brand.
Puma?
Yeah, i recognize the brand, but i thought it had to be more than that. The purpose of censoring the logo is usually legal and to be clear what is and what is not product placement. That is done correctly, so i'd say this doesn't fit this community
Right, it's not about making it impossible to tell who made the clothing, it's about hiding the legally trademarked logos.
I am not able to identify the brand of clothing based on the image.
I think it's some sort of Slavic tuxedo
I don’t know why nobody is telling you. It’s adidas. The stripes down the sides are part of the brand, so the logo isn’t needed.

Lucky, you've managed to avoid the branding campaign. That's kind of a big one.
Maybe it’s more about the trademarked logo than the trademark look-and-feel
Usually it's even dumber than that. Shows use the logos to try to blackmail large companies into paying them for "advertising", and if the companies don't pay up they censor the logos.
