What I've found since I started avoiding visibly branded clothing is that a lot of small vendors of organic/ethical/sustainable clothing seem to share my aversion to visible branding. At worst, they'll have the logos on tags sewn onto the clothing, instead of embroidered or printed on.
With men's clothes, you can buy plain shirts, socks, etc in 3-packs (there's few choices, but few are needed). Women's clothes tend offer more unbranded options, unless you're buying athletic wear or a purse. Casual shoes generally suck in this regard, for men and women.
This has been getting more difficult, of late. It used to be that logos were embroidered on tags or patches, which were then stitched onto the clothes. But with embroidery robots and the rise of counterfeiting, companies are making it more difficult to remove their brands.
edit: but practically? Thrift shops have a wealth of logo-free stuff
