Lanterne Rouge Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I`ve not bought one for years but still wear my old ones around the house or to the supermarket or something. They get a few looks in Cornwall and I often get comments from fellow City fans during the holiday season. Had a long conversation in Costa Tavistock last week with a Doncaster Rovers fan (much to Mrs RRH`s disgust) after he recognised it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I always think I'm too old to wear a replica shirt at my age (mid 50's), but I'm quite happy to wear a City Polo Shirt anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 In my late 30's and never thought it would be wrong to wear a replica shirt? I don't wear them to games but sometimes i wear a shirt if i am out and about, i am proud of my club and i feel i am representing them in amongst the masses of Manchester, Liverpool and Chelsea shirts.

shelts Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I've been told by the kids in no uncertain terms that I'm too old for a City shirt, shame as its Father's Day soon, and the embarrassment would lead them to disowning me , the last laugh being mine as they don't know their adopted!!!

Reigate Red Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I have a retro 70's shirt that I occasionally wear to a game. I have a black T shirt with club crest that I wear out and about - it resulted in me meeting OTIB's Chairman Mao on a tube in London Considering buying a red hoodie for those winter games. Personally I don't see why people get so uptight about us "older" supporters wearing a shirt to games. At last night's Champions League final club shirts seemed to be everywhere.

Red Grovesy Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I visited Barcelona in January. Walking down the street there, I bumped into a chap wearing a City shirt. Stopped and had a good chat with him. I don't wear a replica shirt whilst 'out and about' but thankfully this guy did. It was great to sit a mile or so from the Nou Camp and talk all things City with a stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I no longer own a replica shirt but two City T shirts and I wear them on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played against Colin in school football and later played with his older brother Franny. Absolute nutter was Franny. Dead now went at 58. Also had a younger brother Mike played up front and was a real handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Cardiff yesterday, and yes they were. My personal opinion was that the Juve mob seemed to be dressed particularly well.....but their competition was a 17 stones me, and an 18 stones mate. We looked utterly supersized when compared to many. I considered for a brief period buying a Juve shirt, but figured I'd look like the Bully character from Bullesye years ago.

At a work leaving do in town one evening I wore a City polo shirt. When City were away to P'boro' on a Saturday, I'd wear my City replica shirt when shopping in the morning, not just at the game. I am in my sixties, not approaching my forties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If on a night out with the wife, it's trousers shirt and shoes, because she always wears a dress and gets done up to the nines, putting in hours of effort to look as smart as possible. Going out with my mates, to the pub, or away games and so on, it's Levi 501s, designer polo shirt, a smart jacket, and decent trainers. The rest of the time, you'll find me in sports wear, tracksuit bottoms, sweatshirt, t shirt, BFC training gear, but not replica shirts, and sports brand polo shirts.
