Here's my list:

1. The Box Logo...... Leave that to Supreme.....
2. The huge ass ugly design. no one wants a design that takes up 90% of the shirt. too loud imo
3. the Illuminati / pyramids crap
4. anything that deals with swag
5. stupid quotes like "MONEY, SWAG, SELF MADE, HOES, etc...)
6. a gay mascot for your brand.... ex. a teddy bear.

other feel free to add on..

Calling your brand "_____ apparel" "_____ clothing" "_______ couture" or anything like that. and having shitty design in general.

I thought people usually put clothing at the end of things to signify that it is a clothing brand incase the name of the brand is too ambiguous. but too true on the couture.

Generally, anybody who is bad at art or drawing is bad at designing for a brand because they dont have the same artistic eye and spacial intelligence as someone else. So if you suck at art, please consider that. All the brands I see from people who are bad at art are really bad.

Not to be the typical self promoting dbag but you all, really, should check out my brand. I purposely took the extra time when starting it to avoid the sh*t your talking about.

Trying to be rebellious with all that satanic, anti-religion crap like someone else mentioned.
I'd totally wear black scale if it wasn't for that, or the upside-down US flag.

I happen to like the US.

pendleton patterns

I think pendleton patterns are sick, and I like their loud out-there vibe, just like i like vintage hawaiian patterns & really almost any all-over-print I think is really cool and is unique and cant find a nice niche in streetwear, if its done right.
