If, for example, I wore this to a job interview for a computer position, would I look smarter?

depends on where you are going for your interview. If you were going to ati or something, then probably no. I probably wouldn't think that would be the best shirt to wear, it says that I am a geek and I need this job so I will wear a computer shirt to impress you

Well, I would never:

1. Go to a job interview in something that casual
2. Wear something with a product name on it to an interview

and

3. 48 bucks for that is a ripoff.

why would I wear some nvidia stuff if I am not working for nvidia?

Interviewer: hhmm, from your shirt, I presume you worked or are working for NVIDIA ?
Me: hhmmnn, actually....

I don't know much about computers compared to you guys.
I don't want a job interview.
I think it is pretty geeky.
I still kind of think it is cool.

it's geeky
a true geek's clothes only consist of free t-shirts given out by tech companies :p

Polo shirts are cool. Non-geeks wont know what it is, and therefore wont think you're geeky. Geeks will know what it is, and think you're cool.

Now, if it said "McDonalds" THEN you'd be a loser :)

Exactly! You want to save a shirt like this for something special, like a first date.

It's $48 for a $15 shirt. No, you wouldn't look smarter.

I can't believe you actually have to ask the question.

If it gives you any frame of reference, I wear a suit - always.

My friend though, who does freelance IT work and also runs a bike company - along with god knows what else - wears armored pants with T's and rides the most incredible mountain bikes you ever saw to clients. I guess it's a selling point...

LOL.
I just thought I would ask.
Normally I wear suits to interviews.
But, I'm not a computer geek.

its geeky, but good geeky. if you are a computer nerd, and socialize with other nerds, they'll like it.

if you just wanna look like another guy wearing a polo shirt, its ok for that
