Grown men at football must only wear approved terrace attire such as Fred Perry shirts, generic jeans and Adidas gazelle/Hamburg or every dad's favourite, samba's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Ah, the football shirt police are out in force again. You can tell the season has finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Nothing worse than gatekeeping middle-aged fashion police daduals telling people what they should and shouldn't wear. Twitter full of them wearing shite socks, jeans that don't quite fit properly and slight variations of the same adidas kicks. Wear whatever the fuck you want folks.

JonBez comesock Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wouldn’t walk around the streets with a toon top on , but going to the match , I think is fine (looks good) if everyone in the ground is wearing black and white or away colours (on away days) nice to wear on a beach holiday too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Bloke in the row in front of me turns up in a quilted gilet, shorts and walking boots every game no matter what the weather. For the fact he's clearly immune to the elements, you can forgive him for wearing a retro top too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 The retro ones aren't as bad like but couldn't get my head around grown blokes walking round with a top with Wonga across the front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I’d probably wear a shirt for knocking about in now TBH. Now I’m not ashamed of being a fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I have a problem at all haha if people want to buy the new tops and wear them that's fine by me, what ever makes you happy. But aye I do personally find it a bit cringe seeing grown men walking around in them and would be embarrassed to do the same. The wonga ones made it worse tbf and then the fun88 ones are also cheap and tacky looking. Edited May 25, 2022 by WillingtonMag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yeah, I mean I won’t be especially proud of wearing Golf Saudi or whatever, but it’s better (or wrong in a different way) from gambling and loan sharks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, although I don't understand the embarrassment of people wearing their clubs colours to a football match. People cadging around morries buying their bisto is a different thing.

Kid Icarus Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Anyone who's grown up in Newcastle has been indoctrinated to find everyone wearing Newcastle tops completely normal haven't they?

Yeah, it makes sense during the Ashley years. I grew up in the '90s though so it was more common than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Think the sponsorships definatley had an effect and cheapened them if you compare them to the shirts of the 90s like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
