Showerthought: People keep calling my Miles Morales hoodie a 'Spiderman costume'

I was at the grocery store last Tuesday wearing my black and red Miles hoodie, and this guy in line goes 'cool Spiderman outfit'. I had to explain it's not a costume, it's just a hoodie based on a specific character from a different universe. It's happened like three times this month. Does anyone else get this mix-up with casual comic gear?

That reminds me of my friend who has this awesome Captain America shield backpack. She gets people asking if she's headed to a comic convention almost every time she wears it out. It's just a normal backpack, you know? But the second it has a superhero logo on it, some folks assume you're in full cosplay mode. Makes you wonder if they think she's also carrying a vibranium shield in there.

Wait, does she actually have a shield in there?
