Rugby tops are comfy and keep you warm if it gets a bit chilly in the evening, football tops are horribly polyester that you sweat in if it's hot and freeze if it's cold. I wouldn't wear one if it identified with any team whatsoever though. Egg chasing's bad enough but the fans are worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Wearing a football top to a game is bad enough. Wearing one on holiday should result in the removal of your right to vote. Maybe I over-think life, but I find it pretty funny when you see a crowd shot of a bunch of people all sitting there wearing their matching replica tops like good little consumers in their little imagined group. I don't know. Exercise is ok. I've got a Hearts top my mum gave me for a birthday or Christmas a while back. It's on my running rotation, but that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the Brechin beach towel photos instead, where folk send in pictures of theirs in whichever foreign land they've run away to. RE the newest OF tops, we're dealing with the sort of people that see being able to afford the latest top as a great badge of honour.

Ylf Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 On holiday this year, there was an old guy must have been in his late 60's wore something celtic every night of the holiday. No football tops but always a celtic polo shirt or a treble treble t shirt or some such. I just cant get my head round it. Why do you feel the need to tell everyone what team you support every night of the holiday. Have you nothing else going on in your life??? Football strips are for lying about the house in or playing 5s unless your 12.also they wear massive rings and chains. minks imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't mind wearing mine when I am at the pool/beach. I wore it in cyprus recently at the pool. I once went out the hotel that day and a local taxi driver stopped to talk about Motherwell. I don't agree with wearing them in the gym though. I hate seeing Celtic/Rangers shirts in the gym. ( I say this as a hypocrite as I wore my Russia & Argentina tops before) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Agree with the OP that seeing of tops abroad is cringey but useful in that it designates an area best avoided. Started seeing lots of these in and around Orlando, OF tops and knuckles being dragged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wear them in layers and rotate them, same as my pants. You need something to absorb the sweat in 30 degrees here. I've been showing some of the locals your own goal, so they're keeping an eye out. It should get you a free pint or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a bottle of local gin for €8.99. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I wore an Ayr hooded top to a pub the first weekend after I moved to the Czech Republic, mainly so that people would see me and immediately think, there is no way this fud speaks Czech It worked but the drawback was, I had my afternoon ruined by a stag weekend who decided to involve me in all of their conversations, Call me Ayrton Senna (Ayr toon centre) and then try and stiff me with their bill. I never wore anything that identified me as Scottish at weekends after that and quickly found a bar that showed streamed sports that stag parties wouldn't find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 This strikes me as the type of "wearing a dinner jacket to lunch" snobbery that is more OFTW than choosing to wear a fitba top on holiday (gasp!!). It's thinly disguised class snobbery, made less thinly disguised by the "wearing a polo shirt is fine" pish that reminds me of wanky golf club nonsense. In short, i'm a 37 year old "fully grown" man who wears a jags/scotland top on holidays. It's comfy and, aye, it's a talking point, especially when I wear it to a tantra festival or some other similar thing. I quite like the juxtaposition, but I also love the connection to my inner child. It seems tragic to me that we demand that adults stick to certain rules of dress simply because we're adults. But in saying that, seeing someone with an OF or England top on holiday gives me good info on their good guy/w**k credentials. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
