Wearing a footy guernsey in public, yes or no?

[Xtreme]

They all look like idiots.

I look dashing in my India ODI kit TYVM. I have a guernsey/kit for all occasions.

Another personal favourte was the Barca away kit

+ the yellow shorts and socks was amazing!

Footy jumpers... Imagine seeing these again...

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Yes; do you want you want.

 

[Wojcinski]

I wear the full kit to every game. Guernsey, shorts, socks pulled up to my knees and footy boots with short stops. I even cover my arms in baby oil and vaseline

I feel like there’s probably a certain age where wearing any club garment at all (aside from a simple accessory like a cap, beanie, scarf) puts you on the footy nuffy spectrum.

That’s ok though. Everybody should be a nuffy regarding something… for some it’s footy.

Someones into roleplay as Dangerfield!!

Don’t often get to see Brisbane wear the Fitzroy jumper often.. let along run out to the Fitzroy theme song. So, tomorrow I will be wearing my Fitzroy jumper

Normal don’t do that but it’s the Roy boys

It’s fine to wear a jumper to a game, if you don’t have the physique for it, make sure you wear a tshirt under it or a jacket too.

But what ever you do, don’t wear an Eagles jumper to a Freo game unless it’s a Derby. Those people are sad and I see at least one every home game.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

If im at a night game and its cold I'll wear my gurnsey just for a bit of warmth, day games I wear member polo.
Home Showdowns, prison bars, no question.

Out at the pub etc when the games on, club polo/hoodie.

Who cares, unless youre a povvo and cant afford one, be proud of your club

Those w***ers are everywhere. It happens with the Crows and Power and they do it to cause trouble. Absolute idiots.

I don’t have an issue if it’s a little kid, as they are with family or friends but anyone who does that over 15 is trolling and looking for beef.

Don't ever come to WA then, every second man and their dog across will wear footy gear 365 days a year.

The way it should be.

 

[Angus Young]

If you still care or worry about what other people think you are not truly free.

Well yeah, our friends in the west are a bit special, we know that

I reckon the 'rules' should be if you've finished school, you can wear your footy jumper to any Finals game in which you're participating and ditto any Derby.

In saying that; I would never attend a River Plate game not wearing the camiesta. Nunca. Dios mi.

Depends how much you want multiple stab wounds I suppose

 

[Former Decathlete]

I've seen this debate across footy media and forums over the last couple of years and wanted to see what BF felt, some people think guernseys outside of going to the game or a no go, that it makes you look like a nuffie, others think that it's fair game.

What do we reckon?

Absolutely do it.

Besides children who gives a flying a **** what other people think?

Do you worry the local church people worry how you think?

FFS.

Wear the gear.

Love to see you in your cool white boy fashion!

Do you wear something to make you feel part of private school culture?

Photo please.

Linen?

 

[CrowToon]

At various times I've been on both sides of this debate. Of course I havent spent more than a moment worrying about it either way.

At present I'm in the camp of wear whatever you like. Happens all over the world. You'd have to be pretty sad to care, I think.

Club Media polos are perhaps a good in between for fans who don't love the guernsey feel but want to wear the colours. Thats my preferred.

Like you Mop, you're ok. But no away fans are permitted in the Monumental except for Champions League, equivalent Copa Lib. And those fans in their little cage are too worried about taking videos and photos of the fireworks and in awe of the atmosphere to worry about trouble. River is in a good part of town, you might be thinking of (La) Boca which is genuinely terrible. You wouldn't let your dog walk around there at night.

Was good back in the day though. And will be good in a few years when the project to put a roof on the old girl is complete. You can do these things when you sell your best kids for £100m every year (basically).

My poor excuse for a premier league team buys a South American striker who goes out on loan, flops and goes back home for nothing in a few years.
It's the circle of life innit?

To be fair to River Plate, they've sold some genuine stars over the years.

 

[Headless]

There is a saying that women over 40 shouldn't have hair below their shoulders.

Similarly over-40 AFL supporters should not wear an AFL guernsey in public !!

Why?

And why?

Alvarez is bloody good, Enzo is more than handy for Chelsea soon to be Real, Man City have a hard-on for our kids; Mastuono was bought for €45m and Echerverria ~€25m (who's actually really good) and he barely played for River's 1s. It's amazing but we can't compete with the Brazilians at the moment on the Continent because we sell them early. Back in the day you had to win Copa Lib (Crespo) or at least the League, nowadays they buy our kids straight outta the academy.

Historically Francescoli was underrated on the continent, one of the greatest players in history, his highlights package is just ridiculous (if you ever get a chance).

... you'd be stabbed if you wore a River shirt in La Boca within 10mins, probably 5.
