Guys, why the heck does everyone remove their Bronco model trim emblems? Does no one like them?
I like the clean look it gives the Bronco, I do it to my F-150s, on the side of the tailgate where it says "Sport 4x4."

They are cheap looking for one. And having the Bronco script improves the look drastically.

Oh, plus I think I picked up a few ponies too! LOL

I removed my Outer Banks emblem because it looks lame to me and seems to be a facsimile of a Jeep Sahara emblem. And secondary reason is because I like the clean look.

However, I might keep my Badlands emblem on when I get it! LOL

My biggest gripe with the emblem is it's just a sticker vs. an actual badge/emblem. I'm sure color match is a concern for some as well. I peeled mine off and stuck one inside the tail gate.

One of the things I like about the HE is no sticker on the fender, only has the bronco script up front :)

Took mine off for ppf and ceramic coating, but mainly because it looks so cheap.

If I remove my badges how will poor people know that I'm better than them?

Seriously though; the "badges" are just ugly stickers that are in a serious need of redesign. My $.02

There are multiple reasons people do it.

Some do it for looks. I suspect some do it for status (don't want people to know they got a cheaper trim). This also works the other direction, some keep the sticker for status (so people know they got the expensive trim).

Personally, I like how the sticker looks and it matches the trim inside the Bronco too 🤷

I might remove it later if I decide to change up the color theme or if it gets messed up from wear and tear.

Hey, some pavement users are essentially paying 7k for that Sas sticker!

Lol I don't care if people know what trim I have or not. I just never thought to remove anything from my Bronco, or any other car I've had. Honestly I don't think I ever even pay attention to it, which is why I wanted to know reasons behind them being removed, just something I notice a lot of people doing. Outside of Bronco I've never known anyone to take emblems or stickers off their vehicle. I've never thought about modifying a vehicle until this one either 🤷‍♀️ My jeep stayed as is and I think I'm good with leaving my Bronco as is...at least for a few years.
