i take it you haven't been to a game in a while then???

I'm a season ticket holder and dont wear a shirt to games to avoid grief in central london... no one within about 3 rows front and back and about 6 to the side ever wears a shirt either?

The only reason I buy one is for 5 a side...

That's your preference, just like turning up dressed like a pink fairy cake and shouting "come on you hottie spurs boys!" would be. But it's not a majority opinion and certainly most fans i know (for any club in the world you'd care to name) like to wear a replica shirt to a game.

If i had more time i'd google countless pictures of crowds at football matches to attempt to prove this point further, but i feel that if you don't already know this and aren't currently being fecicious then there's no point anyway.

Aren't UA owned by Nike?

Nope, rivals.

Umbro are though.

And yet you missed the 20,000+ supporters standing around you wearing replica tops, that's impressive! :roll:

In fact scrap that, every football match i've ever been to in my life has had a majority of the crowd wearing a replica shirt. :duh:

Also what a joke about wearing a football shirt when not on the pitch, serious snobbery of the highest order from you there.

People can wear what they want, and i'd be bitterly dissapointed if i went to a Spurs game and only a handful of people wore the teams replica shirt.

Not only is it a good way to show your support of a team, but it also helps finance the purhcase of players which in turns lead to a better and more enjoyable game of football to watch. Get a grip mate.

:clap: Well said. People can wear what they like, be it going to watch Spurs, or chilling at home. It's no less sheepish or cheaper than wearing something like Fred Perry Polo or any other designer make. I couldn't give a shit how old the person is as long as it makes them happy.

It does bug me when people come onto threads about the latest shirt bust out the "Are you all twelve?" snobbery. I'd like to think we're all sad fuckers for being this interested in football anyway :up:

 

[spurslenny]

Jesus, every time a kit discussion comes up on here you got some dude going,"Pish, posh only children wear football shirts!"

Didn't you know? We take turns to come out with that line.


It's Houdini's turn next, then Spursbear's.*








*probably.

Umbro are though.

There is a good chance that Nike will be buying them in the near future though

Right - UA is a publicly-traded company (NYSE: UA)

Also, the UA pics don't look much different in style to Team GB commemorative Olympics shirt:

Under Armour? Surely that's a cricketer's box?

The club sell other merchanise and I have a few of the new training tops which are very nice among loads of other club related stuff, do need for me to grasp anything.

What's wrong with an Adult wearing a replica top? Brasilspur is spot on.

By your logic though surely the training tops are in the same category as the replica shirt, only a tad more discrete and cheaper.

Nothing, is the short and concise answer.

I would never wear a football shirt outside of a football scenario. I'm a bit of a vain **** though to be honest, or you could just put it down to preference. Despite not doing so myself, I would never judge anyone else or think less/differently for doing so. In fact, I love seeing people (adults) out in town with Spurs tops on thinking about it, makes me just wanna shout "yiddo, yiddo!" :lol:

 

[spursphil]

I would never wear a shirt with a sponsors logo plastered across the front, in my eyes nothing looks more naff than that.
If i want any Spurs clothing i find there's plenty of options in the shop to buy polo shirts or training wear with just the iconic cockerel on the chest.

What worries me most is families under pressure to get the latest overprised top with every change of sponsor or kit maker. And it does seem almost child like when you have adults doing the same, the players and club are paid for wearing the sponsors logo, the fans are not.
I would very much like to see an option to buy the shirt without the logo's giving fans a choice.

No chance that will happen. Part of the reason that sponsors pay so much money is that they get to turn 30,000 people into walking billboards every weekend. A rather large lawsuit would be around the corner if any club decided to do that.

Indeed, and I believe that the company originally made all the protective gear for American football, hence the name.

You are right my friend, and thats the reason i won't be a walking billboard.

If wearing a football shirt to a football game is childish, then so is singing, shouting, celebrating, and well...just being there in the first place. I mean...aren't we all supposed to grow out of enjoying ourselves by the time we're 17? :shrug:

These shirts...they just seem to get tighter as I get older Eek

As your from Bristol here's a vid you might enjoy!

I was in the Park Lane for this match, going mental celebrating like everyone else. And you will notice not a replica shirt in sight! You can have fun without a sponsor's logo, the wearing of replica shirts is mostly a modern thing, for many its the must have peice of kit, in fact its sadly replaced the scarf which i thought was more colourful while celebrating goals.
