Why do people feel the need to wear clothing with huge logos on them?

Chav is a state of mind. If you feel chav, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Band shirts included.
Any large obnoxious logo that you are wearing in order to appear to have money would make you chavy, it's low class really. A Metallica t-shirt obviously doesn't count

Quite often items of clothing with names and logos of expensive designer brands that are large and tacky are fake. Most of the genuine items would have suttle branding if any at all.
Obviously there are exceptions.

I don't know. Probably for the same reasons that people care about what wheels go on their crappy BMW.
Doesn't bother me, I was in sports direct and they were doing 2 t-shirts for £15 so I got one with Just do it Nike logo all over the front and one with Adidas. They're just t-shirts and they were cheap. Equally I wear plain t-shirts quite happily. Don't see the fuss, I'm not looking at someone's t-shirt and judging them.

Everyday wear, sport wear worn specifically for sporting activites is fine
Cults. Seriously. Cults (successful ones, anyway) are essentially about marketing. So companies marketing a brand can use the same techniques as cults, and do so. They may need to dress the technqiues up a bit for public consumption, but that's all. There's even a book for advertisers that's explicitly a guide on how to apply cult-making technques to marketing a brand. How else can you sell a £5 T-shirt for £50 or a £20 handbag for £1000 or a £50 watch for £5000? That level of markup requires cult mentality.

OP should post this in Richdog's appalling thread about fashion, where idiots seek validation from other idiots about their clothing crimes and all round awfulness.
For the same reason rich folk buy Christian Loubouton shoes, to appear wealthier than their peers.
The cheaper clothes generally have huge logos, the more expensive have subtle branding.
Most big logo clothes you see are fakes, too.
Question, what's the most expensive item of clothing you have bought?

Ah, the irony of someone who chose AlphaMale as an online moniker and then chastises a lack of subtlety in how people portray themselves.
Despite that, I do agree. Luxury fashion brands do well out of the window of aspirational purchasers willing to plaster themselves in logos. The truly wealthy buy yachts and planes.

Anyone else remember people wearing Joe Bloggs' stuff with jeans that had huge great logo on the thigh and arse?

What do you mean, you got a problem bro?What is with your threads?
I like a small logos on clothing, but big ones is a pet peeve as well. Really don't see the point and tends to be enough to put me off buying something I initially liked. Polo is one of the worse offenders for this as the tiny little horse, I like, but it kept increasing in size and just looks ugly in pieces which have it taking up half the shirt.
Tommy Hilfiger is also guilty of just having their name emblazoned across items, rather than just a small little logo sometimes which I like the look of.
