Maybe 20 or 30 years ago when the world was a much larger place and people did not travel as far and wide, it would have been intriguing to see people in other countries wearing AFL jumpers, but I and all my friends take our jumpers everywhere, as I'm sure a lot of other chronic Australian travellers do. I would not be surprised to see an AFL jumper anywhere. I'd just be like, 'O, another Australian... You don't see many of them around...

I was in a cambodian village about 5 hours east of phnom penh and there was a young kmer kid wearing a Carlton guernsey. I went up to the kid and said go carlton and he gave me the strangest look. He then said where you come from and i said australia and he said australia then went on to say " a dingo took my baby". I laughed then thought they teach this stuff to these kids in school.
Not a guernsey but I saw these in Saranda, Albania when I was there last year.

I was on the Golden Gate a couple of weeks back and saw a bloke with a Collingwood hat on. Ruined the whole experience to be honest.
A guy moved into our block of units a week before the GF. He's a Hawks supporter, so naturally was wearing his scarf & beanie every day. But, he is still wearing them every day, whether just walking around the units, or going out. I get the feeling, he isn't right in the head.
Units in general seem to attract the weirdos for some reason..

Funny you say that, I saw a homeless bloke in San Fran wearing an old long sleeve Carlton Guernsey. Highly doubt he even knew what it was.

Grouse thread. I still think it's a bit cringeworthy to be a loud, drunken, ocker Aussie wearing a Pies jumper as you chase bulls or roll after cheese. But some of these are interesting. Weird how the Cats seem to have a bit of a global presence...
Jealous of the bloke who met and got with a girl in a footy jumper at a club in Canada. Pretty good times to remember when you're 78 and about to die.

In New York 2010 - American Eagle Outfitters had a massive (17 storey high) electronic billboard in Times Square, where customers could have their photo taken with a caption. It was called "Your 15 seconds of fame". Anyway, there was a Cats supporter wearing the blue & white hoops.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Richmond jumper anywhere. Seem to see neutral Tigers at every AFL game and almost everywhere I've been around the world.
Strangely, I don't hate them overseas.

Saw a guy in a tigers jumper in Rome at the fountain de trevi. Have mine in the cupboard but haven't put it on os. Even when I hear an Aussie accent, which is very rare, I cringe.
So what accent do you have now?
