It says on the envelope "Give your luggage some street cred!".... but does my luggage really need to let everyone else know who I am? For example, is an FO going to be snickered at (secretly of course) by the high and mighty DM's when they see an FO tag? On the other hand, is it arrogant for a DM (or even PM) to think that way and then display their tag with a DYKWIA mentality? Obviously, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to this topic. I'm just curious what everyone thinks. Looking forward to reading your responses!

It's not that different from wearing a college sweatshirt IMHO. I see no problem with it at all, but it's funny how wearing a certain "top" college sweatshirt I've actually been called arrogant (@ LAX) but another lower ranked college I was greeted positively. Thought the people were random and thus, I let my DM freak flag (tag?) fly but not without writing my email and cell # on the metal back in permanent marker =)
