RainboomCrash 173 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Hey there everypony. I have a question for you: do you know of any pony paraphernalia which I could wear which is obscure enough so anti-bronies and people who might look down on me for wearing it wouldn't get it, yet fellow bronies would recognize it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 What do you mean by obscure, like...grimdark?

lomk 20,663 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 I've always wanted the same kind of thing. I think the best you can do is have things related to ponies but not something anyone can readily as identify as pony merch. For instance, I have a Derpy keychain that also had a muffin on it. I took Derpy off the keychain and left the muffin. The muffin is obviously in the style of MLP so I think certain bronies would definitely pick up on it while anyone opposed to bronies wouldn't. I think another option is to color coordinate. For instance, if you could find a shirt that is exactly the same color as Fluttershy's coat, then that might make you a brony hiding in plain sight. What do you mean by obscure, like...grimdark? Obscure. Not obscene. (maybe that's the word you were thinking of) Obscure is the opposite of obvious. He wants to be a brony hiding in plain sight. Anti bronies wouldn't know but bronies would pick up on it. I refuse to let go until you're impressed. I refuse to let go until I'm depressed.

Probably the only place you'll find obscure shirts is welovefine.com. 1 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootalove 10,689 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Maybe you could wear a t-shirt with a flag on it, if it has a pony hidden from sight. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kurtis 636 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Maybe a t-shirt with pony color schemes or cutie marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquence 2,076 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Things that just have cutie marks are great, especially Twilight, Luna, or Celestia's mark, because they look cute and decorative just as they are. I think i'm going to watch this thread for merch recommendations so i can find some subtle pony apparel. Not because i want to hide my fandom, mind you, but just because i find a lot of pony apparel to be so gosh-darn gaudy! 1 My Equestrian Empire Characters Fluttershy - Eloquence - Chamomile - Ginseng - Lovestruck Ask Me Questions!

Dattebayo 2,850 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 I actually make shirt designs for the conspicuous brony. I just need my friend to get his sh*t together and format them. ^Click for my Deviant Art^ You truly are the Rosa Parks of not understanding what r34 is.

Quill Waver 1,408 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 The closest thing I wear to that would be a self-crafted dog-tag bearing a quill and Rarity's cutie mark on either side. "Time is just an illusionary factoid that all natural things are bound to. It has the power to crumble even the mightiest of mountains into little more than dust, yet if it is an illusion, why is this so? Because people waste a lot of time, only wishing they had more. Little do people realize an inescapable fact: Time governs those who wish they had more of it. By wishing you could use it better, you govern time, and you can get all the time you'll ever need." — Starfall, Quillwaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReverseFaller 2,484 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 There are some cutie mark shirts I've seen at Hot Topic before, that are pretty obscure. I bought a Twilight one. It's just a plain purple shirt with her cutie mark on the bottom left. So you could get a shirt of your favorite mane 6, and nobody would even know it was a pony shirt. 1 Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 I've gone the hiding-in-plain-sight route lol. I ordered a TeeFury mash-up that combines Link's horse Epona (originally from Ocarina of Time, if I'm not mistaken) with My Little Pony. Which makes it My Little Epona . I don't think I'll really get any flack for it (I'm not a frequent visitor of the outside world, anyhow), but if I'm spotted I could always be a Zelda fan. Which I am, btw. I do kind of desire a Rainbow Dash necklace that I can tuck under my shirt collar, though. And I could now and then furtively produce it and hisssss sweet nothings of, "Myyyy preciousssss." I can't help it if I'm awesome. 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up.

You're younger than I and probably far less strange, but there's always the option of, you know... Not giving too much of a damn what other people think. Don't be like ME and end up regretting all those filly-smacking shirts you didn't wear when you were younger. Or, um... You know what I mean xD. Stupid people are stupid; it's an incurable illness from which the majority of the human population suffers. To be fair, it's taken me years to get anywhere near the "not give a damn" mark, and I'm still tentative / uneasy about things. But you can't change the stupid that's out there. You can, however, change your shirt. Just words of "wisdom" from a complete stranger . 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination. But that does not mean making things up.

However, I'm at uni and am struggling to make good friends as it is - I don't need the fact that I like MLP as an extra barrier...then again I could just wear it in my room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomDeSpite 452 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 Hmm time to look for a Luna cutie mark t shirt http://www.redbubble.com/people/carnivean/works/7277240-princess-luna-cutie-mark?p=t-shirt Check it out. Luna's cutie mark works perfectly as a more subtle brony insignia. I also have this image as my desktop background. On 4/12/2014 at 0:00 AM, Miaq_The_Truthful said: This is the internet, not reality.

Twilie 184 May 7, 2014 Share May 7, 2014 If I were you, I'd look on redbubble.. they have over 10,000 designs under the category "My Little Pony" (http://www.redbubble.com/explore/my+little+pony)- They have designs ranging anywhere from 'im a brony look at me' to very subtle designs that only hardcore bronies would get. Its a really great site, it may be a little pricey but there are so many designs and styles to chose from. Here are some of the more subtle designs that I really like off of their website, http://goo.gl/TjtKfc http://goo.gl/VNmL8A http://goo.gl/jdcpeO 1 Rock, you are a rock. Gray, you are gray.
