I've got a beautiful leather jacket with C5 logos,(15 yrs ago) and I just can't wear it. The wife got it for me, but it's really gaudy, IMO. Thing weighs a ton, too.

I have a single windbreaker with the C5 logo that I bought when the NCM was clearancing them out. I refuse to wear it when I drive the Corvette, ironically enough. I just can't be "that guy".

But ultimately, don't worry about what other people think.

I've got one of those myself.

My wife bought me a Corvette logo jacket over the summer off Amazon that I plan to wear. It's actually a C7 logo jacket but I have a lot of casual and polo-style shirts with various generation's logos on them so it doesn't bother me. If anything I'm certain me actually wearing it will make her happy.

I try to only wear one thing at a time though. I'm not going to be wearing a logo cap, shirt, jacket, etc. One article of clothing gets the point across.

I have/wear a couple of C3 and C5 logo shirts, caps and sweatshirts. I've grown to really like the C5 logo more and more, especially with the C7 and soon to be released C8 logo comes out. However, after I bought a new Jeep Wrangler last December I'm a little cautious about wearing the Jeep hat the dealer gave me upon delivery...at least when I'm driving the Jeep. Go figure...
