Grown men wearing guernseys to games

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Should be an automatic turn away at the gate.

 

[Xtreme]

We had a wear your guernsey at work day the first friday of the finals series but have not had one since, would not be surprised if it doesn't happen on grand final week/weekend. I'd rather it be done the entire month or not at all.

I'll be wearing something Hawthorn every day this week!

 

[raskolnikov]

I'll be wearing a guernsey to the footy when I'm 80.

Agreed.

 

[Marmik]

What the genuine ****.. How is it sad to support your own team by wearing a geurnsey..

 

[Hard Ball Get]

I agree with the OP and haven't worn mine for years, but I'm considering making an exception this weekend.

Then you don't agree with the OP.

Greatest thread ever. Never knew grown men before a game run around stressing about what they are going to wear to a football game.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Just got back from the gym, still wearing my Eagles jumper as i type this...

come at me pretentious tw*ts

 

[Proper Gander]

OP has the whole game day fashion arse backwards.

You go to watch your team, wear just a scarf maybe, or a footy jumper plus scarf plus beanie plus face-paint. Doesn't matter.

It's the next game that you go to. If Melbourne won the last game I went to, I need to exactly replicate every item of clothing worn previously, use the same transport to get to the MCG and eat the same number of pies during the exact same quarters.

Anytime Melbourne loses, every item of clothing goes directly into the wood fired stove and I have to work out a fresh new look.

For me, I get through most of the demon shop in a single season - but on the flip side my house is pretty warm.

If I go as a neutral I go nude.

 

[TooFar]

You follow Football and consider this frowned upon only in Australia?!

Go to a NFL or NHL game, there are more adults wearing team gerseys than not.

Op, try enjoying life instead of worrying about what others think.

 

[TooFar]

Unless he's married, in which case he wears what he's told to wear...

Or plays were he is told to play.

Whoops,wrong thread.

Who cares about what they do at NFL or NHL games?

How can you possibly know what you will be wearing in 71 years?

Hardly surprising given they're yanks.

 

[Elroo]

I've worn my jumper to games but always wear a t-shirt underneath.

If the OP has issues with the wearing of a jumper at games by a grown man, then they don't want to watch the NFL. Grown man in the crowd of the 49's v Cardinals game today.

 

[tugga]

Wearing a guernsey to the actual game I don't have a problem with, but I saw a 60-year-old guy wearing a guernsey on Saturday arvo at the shops and I was embarrassed for him.

 

[HBF]

Don't wear mine all that often, but if I do I usually wear it under a hoodie.

 

[TooFar]

It was in response to the questions that wearing team jumpers is only an Australian thing.

Try to keep up lad.

I hope you rushed home and hid in your bed.

What about the Canadians?

 

[FootyJunkie]

At the 2006 GF - love seeing a rare VFL woolie in the crowd.



There was a Lions game at the Gabba over 10 years ago with a bloke wearing a VFL Bears woolie and a cowboy hat and was cheering in a similar manner like this bloke here, got on camera during the 4th... wish I had the pic to share.

I hid under my bed

 

[Furn2]

Best chance to show of those testosterone replacement therapy guns we've been working on all year.

 

[Gameova_]

Only time I've ever worn a North Guernsey out is when we had a footy day at School. Never to the footy. But I've got no problem with people who do. I really don't see the issue.

 

[Admiral Byng]

I wear the official Polo-shirt, same as what the coaches wear. Is that sad too, does it say I have aspirations at being the coach of the side? I do yell plenty of advice to the players.
