Moved Thread Why don't neutrals wear their footy gear on Grand Final Day?

[TigerTrain23]

I'm copping a lot of negative banter from people at the shops this morning for being in my Richmond get up. So why don't people all wear their gear - regardless of where your team finished?

It must be pretty sad for Carlton and North fans if you've never worn your gear on Grand Final Day since 1999? Surely today is a day to include everyone and unite in our love of footy?

Wow

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Might as well...the game as a spectacle is pretty much fecked now...

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Because they're not playing, basically.

Starts well, ends in troll.

campaigners use to do it if their side was in the reserves &/or u'19's gfs - pretty sure they even used to put the big banners on the fences at least for the Magoos grand finalists as well...

Arrived back inu the country yesterday and the lady in duty free had a Richmond jumper in....cringeworthy....

 

[Chief]

Sorted.

Just when you thought any campaigner wearing a footy jumper over the age of 15 to a game is weird, this guy starts wearing it when we’re not even playing….

Do you reckon that's bad? for 37 years I wore my long sleeve in winter and changed to short sleeve all summer! The laughs I used to get

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Still wear me Tetleys long sleeve in winter - because it's ******* warm & comfortable.......

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Wear my tiger hat and coloured yella/black stripe top every time I go out of the house...and if it is cold...wrap the 21 year old tiger scarf round the neck to keep myself warm...as well as my black shoulder satchel! Might even take an navel orange for good luck!
Proud Boy wearing the colours!

Thats cringe all the time .........

 

[Wrenny]

You guys all put your Richmond Guernseys on your partner's and pretend they're dusty right?

Right?

 

[Feraligatr]

Why do people care so much about other people wearing footy jumpers. How sad is your life if you're so worried about someone wearing a footy jumper over an arbitrary age or to the shops.

How does it effect your life if someone wears a footy jumper. F me some of you people are judgemental fun police.

 

[lllscroatlll]

when i was a kid i wore me woollen guernsey with roachy's 8 all year every year unless it was hot ofc

used to always be a bunch of conformist-cult nufnufs go "eewww why are you wearing a footy jumper its CRICKET season" in summer

weird campaigners lol

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Wore my long sleva woolly jump...going fishin'...going rabbit huntin'...doing out with the lads....walking the dog...doing the shoppin'...but never put it on when chasing the sheilas!

That was probably just the gap between the bottom of the jumper and the top of the shorts.

Nice hat Chief.
My old lawnmowing cap has nearly seen it's last days.
Anyone own merch more beaten up than this that they still wear?

I wore my Richmond hoodie to the cafe the other day and the campaigner thats there all the time was like "dont u know footy season is over"

Mind you he is an "Essendon supporter" who hasn't been to a game for over 20 years, my reply "When you see your team in your lifetime win 3 flags in 4 years, you can wear your team colors as much as you want, until then keep it quiet"

Essendon campaigner - say no more.

There's nothing wrong with wearing your team's hat/shirt/hoodie at any time of the year.

OP decked out at the shops in Tigers scarf etc on GF day seems a bit weird though. Would you do that every day?
