Random Irritations

But isn't wearing a football shirt pretty much the same thing just on a slightly more local level?
I couldn’t careless what people wear but grown men in football shirts in public is equally as Cringey!

I have this seasons shirts Reading shirts but only because how they’ve been designed and they’re more. a collectors item and if they ever get worn it’s only at home with a pair of shorts for sitting and lounging around in. I certainly don’t wear them out of the house to announce to others who I support. I don’t even wear them at matches.
 
This is were this Patriotic/Nationalism debate gets daft, imo, the wearing of Football shirts! Golf Clubs with logo’s, certain brand of Car!

Not everything is related to the brand or badge and needs to be taken to such levels as some sort of hidden meaning!

Fly a flag, don’t fly a flag, wear a poppy, don’t wear a poppy, just please don’t insist of telling me why you follow a particular road! I’m not interested! I know what matters to me and how I’ll think of you, regardless of your reasons.
This is exactly how I see it. It’s personal to me and it doesn’t needed to be announced for external validation

If I was a Reading fan, I wouldn't want other people to know either :p

The football shirt thing is red herring mate! It’s your money, your club and you can do what you like.

Wear how and what you want when you want, as you said above you don’t need validation from anyone or to justify yourself.

Oh I agree I still wouldn’t wear it outdoors as I’d look like a knob 😂
 
Still your choice though😂😂
To be fair looking like a knob wouldn’t be a new experience 😂
Agree with the shirt wearers, it’s a bit naff unless you’re going to the match or the pub to watch the game, seeing people walk around the metro centre in Toon tops makes me giggle a bit 🤣
We’ve a Geordie lad at work he wears Toon tops everywhere all varieties of it I think it’s the only clothing he owns other than issued rig! I’m sure it’s so we know where he’s from as his broad Geordie accent clearly doesn’t give it away. His nickname is Mackam 😂

You can imagine how much he hates that so it means he gets call it more 😂

It's an absolute uniform up here. People wear the shirt as a regular item of clothing, it's irrelevant to them if there is a match on or not. Even more so at the airport, so many go on holiday in their Toon shirt. Newcastle must be one of the biggest shirt sellers in the UK, not adding in overseas sales which is where the others will stretch away.
 
I’m 5’6” covered in tattoos with a penchant for wearing flowery shirts. I’ve embraced looking like a knob and wear it like a badge of honour 😂

I’ve taken to wearing a bright red dickie bow to club presentation nights. It generates conversation & a good laugh. Club lunches see the Hawaiian shirts coming out for the same reason. I’d rather have a laugh than be the miserable git in the corner.
 
Fixed it for you mate, means the same but with less words.😇
I wasn’t alway, I was once a proud Sapper and lived in holes. Then I grew up and realised how stupid that was 😂
You are just jealous of the hotels we had to suffer 😁
Why do you think I made the switch I was very bloody jealous 😂

My man 😎. Exactly my thoughts to, life is silly and miserable enough might as well add some colour.
