Motifs on children's clothing.

Has anyone else now got the Asda ad with the Barbie tee shirt, running across the top of the page? .

Wow! A bit near the knuckle! What site was that jingle ?

Can't understand the Marks and Sparks thing at all. Why, for goodness sake?!

On holiday, a couple of days ago, I saw in a shop a tee shirt with a pic of a demented looking robot, with the slogan, "kill all humans". Was sorely tempted to buy it for younger grandson. He would have loved it. Sadly they didn't have it in his size.

Can't see what all the fuss is about. If the kids are happy, who cares? (So long as it's not wholly inappropriate, of course. Like the one one I saw online, "Daddy's little squirt"!)

Well this does not surprise me but I am appalled by this.M&S out for a quick buck with a bit of advertising.

You see Disney logos every where but to put it on school clothing is just wrong. Why should M & S do the Disney corporations advertising for them. I have an aversion to children being used as advertising hoardings.

Well so far us Gnrs do not seem to be keen on these logoed and branded products!
I don't have any DGDs I wonder if this idea appeals more to girls than boys.
I always avoided them with my own children.

I am dismayed by the thought of logos appearing on school uniform. At school, I suspect these logos will in time turn out to be a great big fuss about very litttle. I think they will be distracting at first and I do think they shoud be banned, but it if they are not, I hope they will prove to be a novelty that will soon wear off within the classroom.

I am a grumpy old git when it comes to any branded clothing, I simply didn't buy it for my children and didn't 'give in' when pestered. As they grew into their teen years, if they desperately wanted the logos, they had to find the extra cost for them from their pocket money. They soon sorted their priorities and decided it wasn;t worth it. They are not now 'slaves to clothing brands', which to my mind are simply an excuse to over-price items and reflect a lack of imagination rather than being a badge of a certain level of affluence.

I have noticed, over time, that children who sport t-shirts that say things like ' I am a little monster' - generally are. Just saying . I wouldn't impose that kind of a 'label' on a child.

I hate motifs and designer logos on clothes with a passion - I don't mind the books, lunchboxes, mugs, toys, whatever, but clothes look tacky with all these images on them.
Being rather cynical, I wonder if the manufacturers realise that not only do they make for sales, they can't be recycled to the next child down because - horror of horrors- they'll have gone out of fashion!
It'll be 'Frozen' one day and Dolce&Banana the next - it must be very hard on children from less well--off homes to see their peers in swanky designer items when their parents can only afford to buy them normal clothes!

Last year we were lucky if there was a day warm enough to wear a dress to school - live near Edinburgh!

I just don't think it supports young girls to be free of stereotypical 'beauty' images. Would not be my choice and would not have wanted DDs to wear it (or want to look like barbie!)

Wrong! Had another look at the Asda T shirt and it's obviously only suitable from age 7/8 upwards. Still think it looks very tacky.

I just read it as an ironic statement (how can a Barbie image be enhanced!!?) but it's not offensive or inappropriate IMO.

No, it refers to photos taken on Instagram etc. and indicates that the photo has not been altered/photoshopped in any way.

What does #nofilter mean?

Is it to do with child filters on computers/phones?

Not sure what's wrong with the Barbie #nofilter tee shirt, apart from the fact that I personally dislike Barbie!

Tresco. You could always buy the T shirt and write a review!. Then you could let us all know what Asda has to say about this shirt. I see they've sold out of most sizes, only size 7/8 size left.
Very occasionally I shop in my local Mall on a Saturday and it is quite shocking to see so many very young children dressed to look just like Mum, bag and all!.
It is up to the school to ban this logo. It would definitely not be allowed at my DGC school.
I did buy pyjamas with Cinderella on them for my DGD for Christmas .

FarNorth I am sure most schools have a uniform policy or guidelines already that precludechildren /students adding their own motifs. However the small stiched unobtrusive one as shown in the picture is hardly going to worry sensible headteachers. Hopefully sensible parents will avoid them!

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on! From Frozen!!!

Doesn't M&S realise that 'Frozen' is 'so last year'? Just ask my GC.

And when pupils start sewing on their own badges of one kind or another? Let that go too?

Not worth the hassle of banning! Then you have to police it, argue with families who have already bought them...best just to Let It Go

Very tacky , I hope the schools ban them .

It is one of those embroidered motifs like we see on a blazer. That's all very well if it is the school's crest, but what has Disney got to do with school uniform?
A brave Head who bans it!! I'd go for snipping it off!!

I don't like Disney clothing endorsements, although I have bought items of clothing with favourite characters to indulge their whims, Granddaughter loves her Gruffalo pjs, and grandson likes Thomas the Tank, so have bought him a couple of tops, this phase doesn't last that long.

I really, really hate clothes plastered with things such as "Princess", "If you think I'm cute you should see my mum/dad" or anything inappropriately precocious would be far worse.

Isn't the point about school uniform that it looks uniform?
If someone wants to make it look different in some way, that's up to them but it shouldn't have motifs, or maybe logos next, included on it.

I don't like Disney in any form really! Most of all not on kids clothes but hey, there are worse things such as the slogans that are IMO inappropriate for children.
My kids wore some and the DGC do too. DDs limit and manage slogans/images to a certain degree but they choose when to battle and when to let it go.....

What are M&S thinking of? Tacky and some heads will ban them anyway.
