You know the "ANGEL BABY 1969" t-shirts or what-have-you. I think it's tacky and well, gross. It's also lazy (you find out that your kid loves Finding Nemo so you deck them out in clownfish? Why not keep the clothes neutral?) and free advertising for companies that don't need it. With adults, just as kids, I have less of a problem with the brand names, as long as it's creatively/tastefully done. GAP or the American Eagle eagle on a t-shirt isn't nearly as irritating as "HOTTIE." But that's just me =) For me, character clothing for kids are like those slogan t-shirts for adults.
