It’s not stylish at all. It’s not quality. It’s just trendy garbage that the price is marked way up on. 99.9% of the people that wear it are d-bags who can’t think for themselves. Good enough reasoning? ---

What do you consider stylish and quality? Because the same has been said about a number of other popular brands…Hollister…Express… I could careless that you hate Affliction…I am just curious what you wear and what you what you consider quality… I wish I could dig up the picture from one of the last starbucks meet when you can clearly see 6-7 NYSpeed people rocking the same style camo shorts :lol: ---

Affliction shirts feel like you could rip it in half(maybe they make it that way for the tough guys? I don’t know). It’s made from the same material some of the Armani Exchange shirts I made a huge mistake of buying are made of. A lot of the RL and Express I wear is a lot higher quality than that stuff. And as far as style goes, why is it necessary to try and dress like a tough guy? No one is going to buy into it, especially when you look like a cream puff. ---

I didn’t know wearing an express tshirt one day and an affliction shirt the next effects your toughness and badass level… The quality between the two brands is very similar… You find douche bags wearing RL You find douche bags wearing Express You find douche bags wearing Affliction And to whoever made the Soho comment…that place is 90% douche bags on any given night regardless of clothing style… This entire argument is very gay…I am going to take a short break and go listen to disturbed and do burn outs… ---

Simply, Affliction is the new Tapout. It’s funny though, as Affliction essentially took a theme ( Heavy Metal shirts ) and made it popular. From a distance you couldn’t tell an Affliction shirt and a Megadeath tour shirt apart. Both have crows and crosses plastered all over, the only difference is in the text. Not necessarily the font, but the text itself. Furthermore I expect someone mimicking their favorite MMA superstar by wearing Affliction would likely talk shit about someone wearing a metal shirt. This of course would just be hilarious and the ultimate example of irony. ---

Whenever I see some d-bag wearing affliction or tap-out or throwdown or cage fighter or any one of the other hundreds of copycats, I always want to “test” their dedication to the sport and see if they’d even be able to last 3 rounds. ---
