I wish clothing designers would do this, too. I like nice clothes, but I absolutely cannot stand any branding.
(I am specifically referring to "designer" jeans. All the jeans made of decent fabric seem to have retarded-looking designer-specific branding on them. For other stuff, American Apparel has treated me rather well.)
There's a simple solution for that, strip the brands off after buying. I do that to all of the stuff I have with brands on it as far as it is feasible, best make sure it really fits before you do that though!
I'm not a billboard, and I refuse to have companies stamp their brands on me.
"Branding is for cattle", is what I say about it. I also rip out the externals, if for some reason I even buy the stuff with it. I'm OK with the traditional maker's labels inside suit jackets, etc.
In older times, a person's monogram would be on handkerchiefs, shirts, bedsheets, etc. (I guess it was helpful as a laundry mark). Replacing that with the sellers brand is distasteful.
