Sam you make good points, but another i need to make is that, the public as a generall in paintball, likes the branding, and if the larger populus likes something, and the smaller populus doesent, then the smaller populus baisically gets the shaft.

Why else would companies print out numerous sticker sheets generates specifically for poples gear?

How many people have you seen with tons of Evil stickers on the side? or on their hoppers? They do it for the branding. Now il admit, im looking for an angel sticker to slap on the side of my speed, but my reasoning is i want to cover a scratchm but thats another point.

i would buy stuff without logos if i could (in fact i do in every way possible)

but some things like barrels for example im not going to sacrifice performance because lame logos all over it but i think they should make a version of their barrel without all the crap on it for those of us who dont need every idiot coming up and asking if im a dye whore or a smart parts butt buddy (which i hear quite often from morons and id rather avoid that crap if possible while still getting performance products, its saves the hastle)

Advertising on your products is a fact of life in all industries. Look at your car! THey put their logos all over that! Look at your credit card, it says more then just visa or mastercard, eh?

Companies try to maximize their exposure, they have too! Of course some people want it for the "status' they feel it lays upon them.

Me I want it to just work. I put no stickers on any of my gear or cars for that matter!

Sorry my friend, you are just going to have to learn to live with the pervasiness of advertising!

I have no problem wearing and using stuff that has my sponsors' logos all over it. Its good form, in my opinion, to advertise their products when they're giving me the chance to play.

Otherwise if you're not sponsored, its your call. Some logos are ugly, but I dont mind the Empire, Dye, or JT logos personally, and I'd have no problem wearing stuff with that on it. Its all up to you I guess, stupid argument.
