REDOXO Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 7 hours ago, Buster Footman's T shirt said: I live in Gillingham. I do wear a kit occaisionally....its always intetesting to see people trying to work out what top you are wearing. To be fair my son wears one more than me. It can be a talking point here. Many Gills fans have memories ofour numerous visits in the Championship year. The first time my son wore his top out in gillingham in about september we happenef to come across Scott Wagstaff in JD sports who was happy to pose for a photo with my son. Top man Blimey Gillingham must have been like being a season ticket holder for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City exile 79 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wear mine all the time. Living in Swindon you wouldn't believe the effect it can have on people. It can make a whole room go mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wouldn't dream of wearing a football shirt when out and about. Apart from the image problem of old men in football shirts, they're made of plastic! Who wants to wear a plastic shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 10 hours ago, reddogkev said: Ok, there's not much else to talk about - so here's something scraped freshly from the bottom of my barrel - do you wear a City shirt outside as a normal item of clothing? I've been out with the kids quite a bit this week and I've spotted at least 4 children wearing City tops in some of the local parks. Surely the number should be higher? And, if you don't wear one, would you be tempted to pull on a red shirt if City were in the top tier. As a man coming ever closer to the age of 40, I often wonder if it's socially acceptable to wear a football shirt whilst out in the company of the general masses. Thoughts? Well, I'll put my shovel back in the barrel now... Strange that you said you only saw 4 kids in City tops, since they've done the season ticket and free shirt deal I've never seen so many City shirts on show. My sons play for Longwell and Keynsham and City shirts dominate their training sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I haven't worn a shirt in years. Last time was the POF v Hull I think. But like @RumRed said, my brainwashed son wears a kit when out and about. Most random place I saw a kid in a City shirt was at Legoland last October. Kudos to that parent! Edit: just thought. My brother whom is nearly 30 wears his out and about. I remember after the aforementioned final, he was getting some grub in McDonald's in Bemmy. A couple of gasheads clocked him in the shirt and started giving him a mouthful through the windows. My brother walks out and tells them to fewk off. They got a bit lairy and just when they were about to have a pop, my hubby and brother in law (Hubby has a rugby build and brother in law is similar) appeared behind him. Never seen the gasheads run so quick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wear mine to every game I go to. Other than that, if it's comfortable enough I'll wear it to lounge around the house in. Don't wear it as a top when I'm going out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 When I lived in Crewe, 15+ years ago, I saw a young lad of about 8, wearing a BC82 shirt in Morrisons! I would have shaken his hand, but did not want to be mistaken for a kiddy fiddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42nite Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Loads of shirts of all leagues being worn over here, by everybody, especially locals, from toddlers to grannies! Latest shirt spotted earlier today was bright yellow with DORTMUND across the back. Haven't seen any British below the prem....apart from Norwich. Think I might dig out a City and England shirt next time I'm home, then I'll be able to blend in a bit more. But I do have an otib sticker on my bike. (Bought at the Wolves game last time I was back) Looks smart as well! Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I don't wear a replica shirt outside of games but do have a training top from our promotion season that I often wear when I go to the gym or go for a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I've got a 70s replica I wear out and about but I haven't had a 'current' City shirt for years. My boys wander around in full kits nearly every day but I grew out of it years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I will be 60 at the end of the month and still wear City replica shirts to games despite having a massive gut now. Don't know why but somehow I found last seasons away shirt more comfortable than the home shirt despite them being the same size (5XL). Occasionally wear one out if going casual here but I don't take one on holiday overseas, where I prefer the smart casual look. Somehow the look of the English football 'lad' in Europe has never appealed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just been on holiday to sunny Spain and wore my city polo shirt. Now if city were to sell nice swimming shorts with the badge on could see that being a big seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 When I was younger I wore it to games for a while. In public? When playing football maybe, I remember wearing it on the great day 2014- when Bristol Rovers AND Cardiff went down same day, wore it for a couple of days but overall in many years, not at all.

The Gambler Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have 2 of the yellow adidas shirts from 4/5 seasons ago. I use them for running when it is dark. Good quality shirts that have lasted well. Also nice because the sponsor is the community trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
