Björn? Boris?



You know, I always confuse Björn Borg for Boris Becker. I don't know where the association got lost, but I think of 80's tennis stars beginning with B and I end up with the red-headed gigantor Mr Becker.



I think this is why my subconscious secretly whispers "don't do it" whenever I go to buy a pair of these...

Microsoft Paint Brandmark

While we're talking about Aussie Underwear Brands, I have to say that this is just about the shittest, laziest brandmark I have ever seen from DeeJay.



It sends shivers up my spine more than the incorrect use of Comic Sans does.

Team Oz.

Aussie underwear brands need a good KICKING. How about even a good floggin? Well here they are! Prepare for the flog!

Undercover in Berlin



It's hard to be inconspicuous when you're trying to take a secret photo of underwear packaging inside a small boutique store with a massive SLR. Hence the paparazzi style angle of this photo...Somehow I managed to pull it off with a strategic cough during the shutter close.

MOVING ON...these are actually from a Berlin store by Diesel. Quite crafty packaging if you ask me, five stars!
