They're not my cup of tea personally, always found the idea of walking around advertising products i couldn't give a toss for & paying mega money to do so not very appealing.

I like wearing replica shirts, specially our one. However I refuse ot wear our away kit this season. Too Englishy for me.

Kids fair enough, but no adult should wear a football top unless he is either going to the gym / playing sport, or on holiday.


Why is on holiday ok?

How many anti-capitalists are hypocrites for living in a capatalist country, try North Korea if they'll let you in :roll: .

I have no problem with my money going to my football club. It's called supporting your club.

I tend to wear a replica shirt (usually the late 70's version (not even original)) to about a quarter of the games, more often than not I wear a polo shirt. It depends how I feel that day :o :shock: .

During the late '80s, '90s and early 2000s I never wore a shirt to a game but owned them as I used to serve in the RAF and had to make it clear which team was mine.

I always wore labels to the games back then, as did the crowd I went to games with but once I started taking my son to games (2005 onwards), it's a case of sometimes I wear the shirt, sometimes I don't.

I remember being at Twerton Park in Bath, for City v Rovers in Feb '89 and for once wore a Wales shirt (the Hummel one with the chevrons on the shoulder), I lived to regret that one at the train station later. Guess the Gas fans didn't appreciate shirts at the football either :lol: . Still we won the football thanks to Jimmy Gilligan and that was the main thing :ayatollah: .

It's not as sad as a grown man getting into his "casual wear" just for the game.

Totally disagree with people that think grown men shouldn't wear them, what a load of bollox!!!
£40 plus to the club helps our club, we all should be proud to wear it,

Every year I get a shirt, and always summit printed on the back?
"BLUEBIRDS 4 LIFE"
"BLUEBIRDS 8 SWANS"
sometimes just my name......and I'm 38!!

Don't give a f**k what others think I'm proud to wear it. :ayatollah:
