Do you like to wear your opinion? on your T-shirt, your face, your cap, your jacket?

Opinion, affiliation, identity, endorsement, political statement, whatever: do you like to display it in words on something you wear, so that anyone who sees you knows where you stand or what you advocate?
In particular, do you use your coronavirus mask as a place to promote something you like or think or believe?
For purposes of this question, it’s only about words, not logos or symbols.
Yes, I know that I asked a similar question once before. This is more nowish than that.
Follow-up question: Do you buy gifts for other people that would (presumably) display their opinions, such as slogan T-shirts?

No. I should be paid to advertise for others. Come to think of it, there is one exception to that rule. Perhaps twice a year, I will go on the net in search of the most drastically reduced in price hoody from the most obscure and unheard of college I can find.
Only KC Chiefs on game day, nothing else.
I don’t. No one out there has any right to see my politics or my economic views or anything else.
Except my Cleveland Browns cap.
Maybe a college sweatshirt, or a ratty t-shirt from a business affiliation. I have a bunch of blood donor t-shirts from the old days that I wear sometimes to garden in, or boat related things from long ago.
And Mickey Mouse. I love Mickey Mouse.
Nope. I avoid all such clothing and would not buy it for anyone else. When logos are sew-on patches I remove them with a seam ripper.
Mostly no. I do have a Michigan State University mask and a Florida Christmas mask and a Chanukah mask. The rest are patterns and more or less nondescript.
I have t-shirts that say places I‘ve been or where I have lived. A few with US flags. A lot of college shirts and sweats. Oh, and coca-cola and race tracks, but nothing political and nothing that makes some sort of bold statement. No thank you, not interested.
Opinions, no, but I have some identifications/affiliations displayed. I’ve never been the type to display my political opinions publicly, not even in bumper sticker form, but I do have a “San Francisco Symphony” bumper sticker as well as a Stanford alum license plate frame. Clothing-wise I have a San Francisco Giants hat and some Stanford gear.
Oh, and I have a coronavirus mask that says “Love” on it but it was given to me by a friend. I don’t know what affiliation it’s supposed to convey, if anything.
I do have a few t-shirts and sweat shirts that say WVU. It’s a big football team in my state.
I have a mask that a friend made me with boxers on it. I do buy my brother and SIL WVU shirts on occasion. Other than that, I don’t advertise anything. I don’t even buy Nike or other name brands because I don’t want to acknowledge them.
I have a t shirt with the words “Gay AF” under a rainbow. I have another with a college name on it. I have one I bought from an organization that cares for a Japanese garden where I used to live that I loved and went to weekly. My other t shirts are solid colors without any designs or words. Otherwise, I wear aloha shirts.
A Kstate or Chiefs or Cowboys shirt, sure.
When I was in college in the 70s my little sister bought me a “Disco Sucks” Tshirt. That it for opinions.
Sure. I have a Cal hat, an A’s hat, a Padres hat, a hat with my daughter’s sorority on it, a couple of breweries, a UCLA sweatshirt, etc.
No but I have considered buying a thin blue line mask which is a symbol I know. But I’d probably get attacked so I won’t be
I enjoy getting pretty t-shirts with images of places I’m vacationing at – back when there were vacations – but that’s about it.
No. I may wear a shirt from a place, like Cape Cod, but nothing with politics or opinionated stuff. I don’t have bumper stickers on my car either. I’m not one to tout my beliefs in public unless asked.
Not at all, it’s the opposite for me:
I hide my beliefs because it can be dangerous to expose yourself to the public.
I’ve seen people get yelled at for wearing sports jerseys of an opposing team and other such things.
The real world is a zoo and I’d rather not invite danger into my life.
