At what AGE are you TOO OLD to wear a REPLICA shirt?

[Marc1901]

Nobody is too old to wear a shirt.

 

[Lord Bamber]

At a match - never too old
Around town / on holiday - OK when you're under 20
Full grown adult in full Albion kit - looks stupid all the time unless you're actually playing football.

Is a good answer. I would throw in its okay if you are in the pub watching your team and maybe occasionally, don it and some boxer shorts to go down and make the first cuppa of the day if its a bit parky.

I do like looking at crowd shots and seeing all the replica shirts though. I thought the SCC away end looked pretty good on Saturday.

inspired by a comment made by someone in the thread about what to get on the back of next season's shirt, interested to know what people think about wearing replica shirts to games.

i'm in my late 20s, but wouldn't think twice about wearing my shirt. i think it looks great when everyone's decked out in blue and white. but clearly this isn't a universally-held view.

so, when does it become a bit tittish?

As a matter of interest how old are you and do you wear a replica shirt ? If so when and where ?

interested to see where simster's going to go with this one...

Mine was a generalization but wearing an Albion shirt to a hospital would seem a very odd choice of shirt to wear. I'm not going to modify my position just because the bloke fluffs up his point of view by pointing out that he pushes his wheelchair bound wife while wearing it.

I always wear an albion shirt when I take mrs to kings for chemo, does this make me a chav when I'm pushing her in her wheelchair?

The wheelchair is irrelevant in the chaviness ( if there is such a word ) of wearing the shirt anywhere but the football !

Couldn't agree more. Hopefully the trend for no colours when we play Palace will soon dissipate too, as it makes us look small time and stuck in the 90s, just because we have hardly played them in about 30 years.

Never to old unless you are fat bald wrong end of 30 and support Chelsea West Ham or Pimpey.

 

[hart's shirt]

No age is too old to wear the shirt.

Can't understand why some care so much about what others wear.
Is it any of their business?

"fluffs up my point", I don't care what anyone thinks I look like tbh - my point is that when I take woman to kings I would rather people look and stare at me instead of giving my 26 yr old mrs "that" look when they see her in a wheelchair. If you think it's odd, try asking as opposed to coming across as a bit ignorant

 

[Seagull Steve]

Fat, Forty three and very little use of my legs, probably makes me one of the chief candidates to look a prat in a replica. But wear it I shall, and proud of it too. I couldn't care less what others think about it.

I'm fat, bald and 20 so yeah thats probably why I look a dick in one of them.

 

[Robbie G]

Is there a difference between wearing a replica Albion shirt and a replica England shirt? Are people more tolerant of those wearing their country's colours but not club colours? Just wondering, like.

 

[tonymgc]

Can i also add people with b.o problems should never wear football shirts.
Polyester, hot weather & pit stains aren't a good look

 

[siclean]

football shirts should be worn when playing only... never worn a football shirt in my life, never will, just completly naff wearing them other than on a football pitch, and as for what age to wear one, age is a number.... you do what you like when you like at what age you like... bollox to what anyone else thinks.. im 50.. if i wanna wear jeans with designer rips in em i will... its what i want, not what jim or tim says or thinks in the pub... you get the drift of where im coming from,, the world is full of people to quick to judge...

ok, so you are 50 and just wearing designer jeans with rips in them - please put a shirt on!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I don't wear one and haven't since I was late 20's, (49) but I do buy one each time.

you couldn't make it up ! stuck in the 90's ! small time ! no colours just add to the interest .

27 and usually wear a shirt to games, unless i've come from work, or its winter so it'd just be under something anyway. i only really go to away games so nice to put up a friendly flag.

yeah, i just thought it was an odd response.
