[QUOTE="soberups, post: 764093, member: 14668"] The original socks that we were issued back in '94 did [B]not[/B] have the UPS logo on them, they were brown with a gold stripe. As I recall, we paid about $3 a pair for them. I still wear mine. They wore out long ago, of course; so I simply cut the bottoms out of them and turned them into brown ankle bands with a gold stripe. I wear plain white socks, with the brown bands sticking out of the tops of my boots. Over the years I have had various supervisors try to tell me that I cannot wear them anymore; my response is to threaten to file a grievance and require the company to replace them at their expense if they want me to stop wearing them. This has never failed to get whoever is confronting me about them to shut up and go away. [/QUOTE]
