Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Who cares what people wear to the footy, as long as it's not a borat style mankini. *shudders

 

[Dylan8]

See that's the thing. On the occasions that I wear mine, I'd wear a shirt or jumper underneath, but I don't get why people have a problem with it either way.
You're going to cheer on a bunch of blokes you've probably never met while they kick a bag of air. Sure I love it, but the whole supporting thing is inherently non-sensical.

It's just one of those things. If you're not fit, you look like a bit of a knob wearing a footy jumper straight up. Probably ties in with the fact that away from the footy, guernseys are socially unacceptable.

I see a lot of posters who have suspended next to their avatar in red. Have they been visting the crows board the last week??

Would it be ok if it was in power colours?

 

[tribey]

Guernseys are only acceptable if you're wearing a hoodie or such underneath

Yes.

The only exemptions for nothing under a guernsey are:

- Player
- Minileaguer
- Child 11 or under
- Attractive female/soob ambassador

So a thread on the main board is regarding the stigma of grown men wearing team guernseys to games, and someone also mentioned something about going to a footy game by yourself as being "a bit sad". It's generated a fair bit of discussion.
I honestly had no idea there was any sort of stigma regarding either.

I've gone to plenty of football matches & movies by myself especially when i was younger and in my moody/brooding stage. Wearing footy guernseys at foodland ain't a good look but who cares really lol

Shit like that pisses me off, especially in carparks, there would be a km of free parks either side of you and some clown will still decide to park next to you, it's even worse when they can't park straight or some soccer mum in a people mover.

The worst carpark experience was at the shops, parked around the side next to a wall with plenty of free spaces the other side, some stupid woman decides to squeeze in between me and the wall and had the audacity to have a bitch at me because she didn't have any room to get out of her car. Told here there were plenty of other spaces the other side and diplomatically told her to go **** herself, didn't like it too much and stormed off inside.

Choice of car park is a frustrating one. If the car park is mostly empty, I always pick the park that is empty on both sides whereas the wife almost always parks next to another car or between cars in the same situation. As distance from shop door isn't a factor, I'm left wondering whether it's simply a case of how we're wired or if she's subconsciously trying to piss me off.

Sure, I took it with a pinch of salt because of that, but the amount of disucssion it generated... I was pretty shocked as I'd never considered it before.

Somebody said 'I don't wear one because I'm an MCC member'?

 

[Portmanteau]

If someone invented time travel, I wouldn't use it to assassinate Hitler in 1939, or win millions on sports betting, I would use it to skip through the period following the footy season to the end of trade week. Just horrible.

Why are they socially unacceptable? How is it different to trendy tank tops, singlets, or basketball jerseys?

It just is. I don't write the goddamn rules, man. Basketball tops are borderline and only fuccbois wear them anyway.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Remember this guy when I lived at Magill that walked everywhere with an old tattered crows jumper on, add the big barrel guts yikess not a good look

* my old man walking to his local deli in the morning in a white singlet and daggy trackies ain't good either

 

[chiwigi]

Guernseys are only acceptable if you're wearing a hoodie or such underneath.

I go to the footy alone heaps, most of my friends are total casuals.

Better tell the players then.

Basketball jerseys are far worse than footy jumpers. At least one has some ****ing relevance.

People who wear running shoes as casual wear look a hundred times worse.

Depends on the shoe. There are some nike runners that are "runners" but are basically built to look nice. As a general rule though, you are spot on. I die inside when I see the old jeans and filthy ancient runners with dilapidated shoe-laces combo.

No it doesn't. That's the mistake people make.
