It’s obviously not the same.
Adults wearing replica football shirts...
- Thread starter duffer
- Start date
Why? Because one is a fashion designer and the other is a footballer?
Choosing a timeless brand that is just obviously more stylish than 99% of football shirts is an odd choice really.
I don't know about the UK, but it is perfectly normal and popular for grown man to wear replica kits here in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, you cannot go on a day out without seeing a few united shirts.
Each to their own if you like it wear it..
Lots of guys wear them out and about here in Brazil. Local teams and popular European teams. I have never once looked at someone and thought “wow, how weird” because they have a football shirt on.
I don’t wear them outside of exercise because I found them uncomfortable, but really surprised at the number of judgmental comments in the thread.
If you love the sport, why not wear them? They are as funcional as any other shirt in the supermarket!

Some people can pull it off?

Slightly off topic - but my nephew is now in a "phase" where he's extremely reluctant to wear anything but football gear - shirt + shorts - in any kind of setting.
My sister has a hard time trying to get him into normal clothes.
The interesting thing is that he doesn't have a favourite team.
He's essentially a full kit wanker with a stacked wardrobe (he's spoiled as feck, so gets whatever new shirt he fancies).

Going to a match or if having a kick around great. Wearing another person’s name on by back once you’re over 16/18 is like having a poster on your wall and just very child like.
That’s exactly it.
Why the long face?Some people can pull it off?

Don't see a problem wearing them anywhere bar formal events etc. It is really common to see various football and Gaelic tops around Belfast.
Solid no for adult full kit wan.. wearers.

I don't know about that one, it's not that common when you look at something like that and realize that the makeup isn't hiding reality. And I'm not trying to be mean.Some people can pull it off?

My own opinion is as follows:
At a match: Perfect.
Whilst playing football: Perfect
Whilst at the gym: Okay but it looks a bit tacky because of the sponsor
At home/pub watching a match: All good
Any other situation: Weird unless you're a middle-aged bloke and then I don't judge you because I assume you give no fecks

Surprised at how many people think it’s weird.
Totally depends on the style for me.
Something like this is akin to fashion brutality:
Something like this is fine because it doesn't hurt my eyes:
Not full kit wankers - but full kit wearers who might be appealing to...wankers, I guess.
It's actually a thing in "glamour" photography - models wearing football kits (or paint-on "kits", even). Or so I've heard. Never seen it myself - but that's what they tell me.
First one is more offensive to my sensibilities than any football shirt I've ever seen.Totally depends on the style for me.

I guess the PSG Messi shirt is the new PSG Neymar shirt.
Same. Got a Nephew that’s changed to Spurs and is now talking about Man City. The shame.
My rule for fake shirts is the same as for boob-jobs: if they are well done i don`t mind.
Some very fair points in this thread. I stayed away from our kits mid-teens until recently, after visiting the megastore at Old Trafford. I've only picked up our 3rd kits so far, they're more street-friendly.
What is this now ? 40 + year Olds cannot admire sports personalities? Age is just a number. I don't see any problem in wearing our beloved player names on the back.
Not really. Having an official number and patches can be a form of flexing.
That shit is expensive.
nah after 30 you have wear plain t shirts, get a crew cut and wear plain black trousers everywhere. Otherwise it’s weird
I know. But (and this goes way beyond this particular topic, of course) he really doesn't seem to have any interest in settling for a particular team. He's totally obsessed with football - plays himself, plays FIFA all the time, wears nothing but football shirts...but it's all about individual players. He worships Lewandowski, De Bruyne, Messi (to some extent - but not that much, actually)...but he isn't in any shape or form a Bayern, City or Barca (now PSG) fan.
I find that interesting - it's 100% in line with where I imagine football "fandom" is headed.
Wear what you want
I wear them out to watch matches, to work, to the store, wherever. Nothing wrong with it.
Admiration is one thing.
If you dress up like them to do your weekly food shop then people might giggle at you, that's all.
Don't wear footy shirts casually anymore. Have the 2018 Germany away kit for playing football/running as it's a ruddy bluddy nice tee.
Thoughts on wearing stuff like this? acceptable?

Yeah but who cares what anyone else thinks? Someone might giggle....feck them.... they are just idiots then if they are giggling at what other people are wearing.
Just buy it mate. Some people find it a bit silly, many others don't. It's honestly isn't that serious. If you like wearing them out, then feck what anybody else thinks.
Yeah he sounds like the modern fan they don’t seem to follow a club more a player, with mine it’s Gareth Bale and Harry Kane.
Finally order my Ronaldo shirt it's arriving in October.
As for other brand for united; I'm not into Ralf, primarni or other items similar mass produced brands.. Gucci or LV level I'd be interested. Then again, i do have Pagani clothes you have to get from their factory in Italy..

I find having a name and number increases the authenticity of the shirt, which increases its appeal.
I prefer this type of stuff to the replica kits, personally.
Sure. But that's really in the same category as "my mom says I'm cool".
Just saying - not judging.
43 year old here who vowed to just wear polo shirts and then got suckered back in by the rising retro market. I don’t judge others because if that shit was turned around I wouldn’t like it one bit. As long as you’re a United fan then it’s all good but wearing a City or Liverpool shirt at any age is a bit cringe.
I saw this weird bloke at Tesco the other day just staring at this middle aged woman in a City shirt. I actually thought in my head “that’s embarrassing.”
I go out shopping pretty often but I never just think “I’m gonna pop down the shops, just going to weirdly stare at middle aged womens shirts.”
