I don't think anyone would care about someone wearing reddit gear but who the hell was doing that in the first place?
The employees that were receiving this message
Loads of (but not only) tech companies give their employees stuff like umbrellas, backpacks, water bottles where sure you could buy your own but really why bother when you've been given something for free, usually that's pretty good quality, that works.
Sometimes you'll also get actually good clothes that are way beyond "free tshirt" quality as well, eg. I did a placement at a wind turbine manufacturer where all the permanent employees got really nice waterproof gear that was better than the stuff I have as someone who goes hiking fairly regularly, but I don't think that's so much of a tech company thing as probably about 75% of the people working at that company are expected to be outside in the rain on a windfarm, which is exposed to the elements by design, at least once in their career. They didn't have to provide such good kit and certainly not to people working in HR, IT etc. but they did anyway.
