Grown men wearing guernseys to games

[bombersfan4000]

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

It only proves how insecure and over conscious some people are

Stupid post! I am 31 and have always worn a Guernsey to the game. why is it so sad? many guys do! i started off with number 17 in 1991 (scotty hodges) in 1993 i had 6 then in my teens i had 23 and now i have the number 13. Its some small part of your childhood you can hang onto. Nothing wrong with wearing a Guernsey. you sound like that flog BT. i wear a navy hoodie underneath with my crows Guernsey over the top.

I agree that wearing it by its self is pretty lame. only heroes wear it like that. douchebags trying to show off their tribal tats or arms.

If you have the arms, no complaints here.

The thing is the guernsey probably looks better than half of OP's wardrobe.

Seriously worried about people wearing guernseys to games with all the 'fashion' that is around these days?

Maybe start a crusade against active wear, or fat chicks in patterned tights, or spacer earrings...or you know shit thats actually messed up.

So, what happens if you go out afterwards and have some interest in attracting a lady friend?

I don't think someone of the fairer sex would find a grown man wearing a guernsey particularly alluring (Unless of course they are actually on a football field)...

Being a Melbourne supporter, I suppose the OP would wear his ski jacket instead of his guernsey if he was bring himself to mingle with the commoners.
What a snobbish thread this is.

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

Try to keep up lad.

Do you think we should all carry guns like Americans?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Better than seeing interstate visitors walking around the CBD Melbourne wearing their footy jumpers....a day before the actual game.

 

[koutamarto]

What the hell?

Stop taking drugs...

 

[the_interloper]

Stop taking drugs...

I don't take drugs (illegal ones anyway), I'm high on life! Do you need drugs to get through the day do you?

Meh, I've been known to throw the guernsey on a few times a year. Always over a T-Shirt, but I still wear it.

Not sure why anyone would think that is sad.

To be honest, I think using phrases like 'the fairer sex' is going to present more issues than a footy jumper if you are on the pull...

 

[Tex Support]

See, threads like these allow men with flags and face paint right off the hook...

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

That's ALL I wear to the footy

The 'fairer sex' would probably find it more attractive than blatant insecurity and a lack of confidence.

Stupid thread more like it

Divvy worthy on the Bay.

I had a Brad Johnson guernsey as a teenager in the early 2000s, then bought 4 guernseys in 4 years between 06-09 and got Cooney, Lake, Morris and Higgins

Had to turf a few obviously, so I just kept the Morris one for signatures, bought a Stringer guernsey this year, hopefully he doesn't get up and do what 3 of those players did in the upcoming years

Not really,

I think there are quite a few here who agree with me.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Chicks that where their jumper to games with tight jeans

 

[DavyRed]

I wear one - over a T-shirt. There are far more significant things to worry about that people do at the footy, as evidenced this week. I couldn't give a toss what the OP or anyone else thinks about what I wear.

Gee I dunno, wear something else if you plan on going out afterwards?

If you're just going to watch a game of football, wearing a football jumper seems fairly appropriate.

Depending on the weather I'll be showing up to the last public training session in full team gear . Ditto for Saturday.

Might even bring out the power rangers guernsey, at least I would be easy to spot being the only person wearing it!
