..say that it is uncool to wear a pearl jam shirt to a pearl jam show, take a hard look at Matt in the Boston pictures. He is wearing a pearl jam shirt.. Wear what ever the hell you want all the time, and keep your opinions to yourself..

yeah, but that was just because he got sweaty in his tuxedo t-shirt before they hit the stage because he got schooled by Jeff in some one-on-one basketball, and the only thing lying around was an old PJ shirt.
haha, j/k, also Stone had one on in ACL.
irony
that's why he's wearing it. do you honestly think he's wearing a pearl jam shirt to promote the band?
At the KC show I decided against it... and it's all because of that one f'n movie line in (I think) PCU about being "that guy"...
Of course when I got there, 75% of the people at the show were rocking PJ gear. Probably would have worn this shirt had I sacked up.
... which is also what I'm wearing in my avatar pic.

in his geekness to wear a shirt like that.
I don't see the problem.

We run into problems when certain bands (say Pearl Jam for instance) decide after 11.5 years to come back to NZ, so do I wear my favourite concert shirt (PJ) and break my personal rule or do I not? In the end, I don't care so much.
If I kept my opinions to myself would it really be an opinion?
I don't wear concert shirts to concerts because I think it's stupid, but at the same time I couldn't give
two shits what someone else wears. If you or anyone else wants to wear a concert shirt, then wear one.
this
i saw one in hartford
none in boston or buffalo
and it was a guy so i don't think it was you
bar
shopping
movies
haircut
restaurant
friends house
... to name a few
oh, or you could wear it at another bands concert! that way it's not tacky because you're showing people what other bands you listen to.

depends on who you talk to. i always thought it was okay to wear the bands shirt if you buy it at the concert you are seeing, but others say that is also against the rules.
nice shirt btw
It's called SUPPORTING the musician you are going to see! Besides how is this any god damn different then going to a sporting event with your team's shirt, jersey, or hat on?

you'd think that buying cd's and spending the $60/70/80/100 on a ticket/tickets would be supportive enough. and what's that conversation going to sound like? "hey! you have a pearl jam shirt on at a pearl jam concert! me too! we must be super fans!!"
and the difference between concerts and sports is that with sports two teams are battling. you wear your fav teams jersey (etc) to show the opposing teams fans who you're going for... to rub it in.
i'm pretty sure pearl jam isn't battling anyone on stage. it's a safe assumption to say that everyone at the concert is a pearl jam fan.... you don't need the shirt. we know you're a fan. we get it.
Sure, it is a common assumption that most people at the show are obviously PJ fans, but is there a good reason to purposely abstain from wearing a PJ shirt? Is it REALLY that "nerdy"? It's not like Trekies or dumb ass kids showing up to book stores wearing Harry Potter "wizard" costumes the day a book goes on sale.
The "I'm too cool to wear the band's t-shirt so I'm going to wear a DIFFERENT band's shirt" notion is just as ridiculous IMO. And aside from that, "dressing up" for a concert is stupid too. Not quite "girl in slutty clothes and 4" heels" stupid for a guy to be wearing a button down, but dumb regardless. I go to a concert assuming that I'll be jumping up and down, sweating, possibly getting beer spilled on me, etc. I don't need to "dress up" for that.
As far as your sports example goes, what about going to a sports bar to watch the game wearing a jersey is not playing in town? Or wearing their stuff ANYWHERE but where the actual game is being played?

the reason why i abstain from wearing the bands shirt at a concert is because i think it's tacky. if people want to do it, that's cool. it's not hurting anyone. but mullets never hurt anyone, either. just sayin'.
i do agree with the dressing up thing to an extent. if you're on the floor, that can be dangerous. but if you're in the upper bowl area, i doubt there will be too much jumping around.
your sports question makes little to no sense... sorry. my point was that wearing the bands shirt to their concert is cheesy. wearing it everywhere else is fine. wearing a sports jersey to a sports bar is fine because, once again, there are two teams playing (on tv) and you want to rub it in to the opposing teams fans. i never once said it shouldn't be allowed to wear pearl jam (other bands, sports teams) shirts outside, so bringing up the "wearing their stuff anywhere" point is just pointless

haha someone's getting defensive. yes, that avatar would be tacky if i were to display it at an xfiles convention. you're completely missing the point that i'm making and getting defensive about it. did i once say that wearing pearl jams shirt is a bad thing.. no. i just think that wearing the shirt of the band you are seeing is tacky. many people feel this way. i'm not knocking you as a person lol
also, they aren't green... grey would be a more appropriate description.
and, if you actually read the picture, it says "i WANT to believe" not "i believe"
