Which Enrollment Gift Did You Choose?

LIKED for coinage of the word "belogoed."
Complaining about not getting anymore crappy gifts is kind of like complaining that you don't get airline food anymore
Sorry, I guess
Ulrich and I are dumb.Or, I posted that before I learned the gifts are crappy.
Or,
We must not tolerate the injustice of crappy gifts, or no gifts, or even no crappy gifts! We must not allow The Club to trick us in to not wanting gifts by making them so friggin' awful or poorly-made that nobody would possibly use them! We must stand up and fight for our right to free stuff, because "FREE" GIFTS ARE AWESOME, if they be of an at least marginal quality and not garish and over-belogoed. (Shout out to Keith Putnam )
We all end up dead, it’s just a question of how and why. Every man dies; not every man really lives. I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free men… and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
Yes, we must fight for gifts!
Aye, fight and you may lose. And, dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all of that from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freeeedoooomm?! Or our gifts?
....sorry. I got a little carried away there.
I don't want to be the one to complain about crappy gifts, but the logo on the backpack isn't even sewn on straight. Six months and the simplest thing isn't even right?
The laptop bag seems fine by comparison. I will give credit there. That's at least usable.

I hope you wrote that after raiding your wife's makeup bin and painting your face city blue.Sorry, I guess

Hey now.... I waiting for my very important gift next year, the stadium approved flask. I'm tired of buying 50ml bottles to bring in.
I really wish I got 2 messenger bags. I can't believe not one person in the office looked at the backpack and said "Um, do you think maybe 10 logofobs is a bit much?"
Just putting two and two together...
Something must have gone terribly sour with Ogio. So many questions...

I can't wait to get my bags so I can bitch about them. In the meantime I'm going to have to settle on bitching that I have not received them yet. I did get the email though but it was late afternoon yesterday, so that was a real disappointment considering others received theirs in the morning.
The quality of the beags seems reasonably solid. Maybe they'll fall apart under use but they don't give that impression. It's the design choices that I question, most notably the logofobs. In addition to putting 10 of them on the backpack, they were originally black. This makes a huge difference, especially on the messenger bag.
Look how comparatively simple and clean that looks. The blue of the logo on the zipper fob and threading is subtle but noticeable. Elegant is perhaps a bit strong but compared to what was delivered, yes, elegant. Someone actually stepped in and said "New Yorkers will never go for simple black and grey. What this bag needs is logofob that's electric baby blue, even if it delays delivery by five months!" and apparently the entire office raised their fists and said "YES!"

Did they switch out from Ogio? I can't tell who made these; I can't find a tag or badge anywhere indicating the manufacturer.
Backpack was surprisingly roomy, and carried my various stuff home last night without disintegrating. I'm not particularly keen on the design, but I don't get how people are already bashing the quality.
The messenger bag is likely to get more use, anyway.

It's the off-season, there's nothing else to...wait, what?I can't with the bag reviews.
