Is it wrong for grown men to wear football shirts?

[pork pie]

I'm 17 and I'd never dream of wearing one. So cringey.

You're all right lad. It is us older gents that are the issue.

I only wear my shirt when I am having sex.

Whilst thinking of Desert Orchid?

So a Virgin shirt then, nice one

It is so worn out now I may have to get a new one.

With someone else or on your own?

With someone else or on your own?

Ah, that would be why he has worn it out! lol

Down to the individual surely? I personally don't but if if others want to it doesn't trouble me. Sames goes for piercings/tatoos/funny hair do's/T shirts with "chavvy" slogans on.

How much money would the club forgo if they didn't sell replica shirts for "grown ups"?

 

[Rich Suvner]

You know what I meant! If not, the clue is in the Thread title.

No its not wrong if they're playing football. Or going to football.

 

[Hiney]

I shall be wearing my Butters 15 matchworn white away shirt tomorrow.

Along with my luck pants of course

 

[Billy the Fish]

Each to their own.

I personally wouldn't be seen dead wearing a football strip in public unless I was playing football

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Well I am 42 and wear my shirt with pride. Currently in france wearing one of three shirts taken on holiday. Be Brighton be proud. Oh bad fan as missing tomorrow.

I've been wearing replica shirts to matches since the 70's and don't intend stopping now! To be honest if a 17 year old thinks its cringey that's another reason to do it. What does a 17 year old know! They probably think One Direction are cool FFS.

I am currently wearing the Aberdeen replica shirt from 1983.

Wear what you want, I say.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Just had my hols in Buxton - Derbyshire - saw loads of blokes in Stoke-Derby-Sheffield-Nottingham shirts walking around shopping - looked a bit naff but hey, I wear my stripes at matches and I'm 56, each to their own

 

[Foolg]

I dont wear mine, haven't since I was about 14, but then that's just personal choice. My old man wears his and he's going on 50, I never say anything, and if I did he'd tell me to politely do one, as he should. As an above poster said, it's one of those personal choices, some like me would like/or have a tattoo, others like wearing replica shirts, I don't.

Certainly not 'wrong' as you put it. Want to wear one, wear one, don't let someone tell you not too.

 

[Muzzy]

Is the op implying that it looks hideous to be seen wearing the clubs colours?

I wear one of mine whenever I feel like it but usually when I'm just chill axing after a bath/shower!

I'm a bit long in the tooth to be worrying about making any kind of fashion statements!

I must admit, when I'm wearing the green and black stripes I do resemble Bertie Bassetts love child.

 

[super-seagulls]

How can promoting your club be wrong, especially if you have the mis-fortune of being in the croydump area!

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

love looking round the amex and seeing a sea of the stripes so will continue to where my shirt as i have done since i started going to football in th 70s
ps having spoken to a few of the players about this they all said they love looking into the stands and seeing the colours on display

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Will carry on wearing my shirt to games until they bring out another Argentina variant.
