Yeah I don't follow brands either, though I don't like shirts with logos on them. Not because I consider myself a counterculture, stick-it-to-the-man rebel, but just because I prefer plain clothes, or clothes with meaningful lines on them, like some funny shirts I bought recently, including one which says: "I take the "the" out of psychotherapist." I also have a shirt with this quote from Sylvia Plath: "My heart beats the old tattoo: I am, I am, I am."
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
