We have went into this topic before especially at the height of the Ginch Gonch craze about 2 years ago. So we thought it was time to take a look at where things stand in the world of men's graphic underwear. How the designs have changed and if they are still just as popular.
Of course Ginch Gonch pretty much fueled the graphic underwear craze, it may have been done before but they took the spotlight. However many companies soon followed with their own renditions and unique graphics companies like Andrew Christian, Ed Hardy and ES Collection all have graphic underwear but they aren't the only ones! Several companies recently have launched graphic collections like Obviously, Clever and Baskit some with bolder prints and some with more subtle graphic touches.
So we want to know what you think! Do you like graphic underwear? If you do like them do you like bolder prints or more subtle graphics? Do you think they are still popular? What brand has the best graphic underwear? Is it all just a fad? Tell us what you think and Comment!
Personally , I think the illustrations on the Ginch Gonch underwear look like something designed by a pedophile. I will leave little boy's underwear to the little boys, Thank You. I have Baskit with adult level illustrations that are fun.

you shall note that Udy brand makes really good graphic underwear next to solid colours items as well. Not very often in this business (see for comparison here: www.luffluff.com)

Not a big fan of graphic designs on underwear. reminds me too much of those worn as a youngster with Thomas the Tank Engine gracing the front.
Solid colours are far more flattering and sexy for me

I think of them as "Fundies" my fun underwear and they certainly belong in my chest of drawers. The bottom line though is that they better be of high quality and actually fit me well. After all underwear is a foundation garment, so there is no sense in having to make frequent adjustments.
