funny, as I was reading it made me think of a few threads here with people saying how wrong it was to wear a PJ shirt to a PJ concert. and then he actually has that in the article!

I know the article was done in humor, but I don't get it, fans of bands and teams like to get shirts, hats, scarves, etc. of bands and teams, I don't see whats wrong with wearing them.

funny thing...gf was going to wear her beatles shirt to the mccartney show we attended. then one of her friends said you don't do that....so she wore something else. :roll:

At Alpine, I wore a U2 shirt and my girlfriend wore her U2 hoody, and we got a few comments - some positive, some not so much. Music is a bit different, we are all fans of music. But nothing like wearing a Giants jersey to an Eagles game, that can be asking for real trouble.

Why?

I wouldn't put my name on a jersey, but I have no problem with people who do. At least you know you won't be wearing the jersey of someone who'll be playing for a different team 6 months down the road.

it's corny.

but might not be as bad as people buying cubs jerseys and getting vedder put on the back of it.

any idea what number Ed wears at cubs camp?

I don't get all the hate at a concert. at a sporting event i would expect a few heckles/trash talk, and i'm cool with that.

it's funny to have a double take at people who put their own name on their jerseys.

hmm.. was schwarzkopf some random 3rd liner on the rangers that this fan grew really attached to? or is their last name?

yeah... don't remember a scrappy schwarzkopf on any ranger team. it's this cornball's last name.

"It's like going to a concert in the T-shirt of the band that's playing that night," says Ari Pillar, 29, who was wearing a simple, cool retro Giants T-shirt Monday night. "It's cooler to wear another band's T-shirt. But wearing a jersey of somebody you're watching? That's way high up the Dork Scale."

AGREED!

yeah, that's strange to me too.

i don't see why people wear the band shirt of the band they're seeing either. we're all fans of the band we're going to see. that's why were going to the show. you don't have to prove it any further than that.

by that math....shouldn't our friend Ari wear a jersey/shirt from a different team that isn't playing in the game he is attendeding?

yeah, you'll notice it says CARDENAL on the back. And the blue jersey has no name. He also wore white jerseys with #1/VEDDER and #3/EDVED on them.

The man makes a good point. When Favre turned into an assclown, I did some research to see who wore #4 before him - it was Chuck Fusina, Packers QB in 1986 who completed a total of 19 passes for the team So for my hubby's bday last year I had a #4 jersey made for him with Fusina's name on the back. It's probably his favorite thing in the world, ha!

I can't imagine ever doing that but watching the World Series last year, the camera caught Dirk Nowitzki at the game wearing a Rangers jersey. When he realized the camera was on him, he jumped up and turned around and Nowitzki was on the back of his jersey.

But if ya ask me, Dirk can do whatever he wants. 8-)

I guess I don't understand that. I do find it interesting and fun to see all the shirts of different bands that people wear to shows, but I see nothing wrong with wearing a shirt of the band you are seeing. I also enjoy seeing some of the old shirts of that band, from prior tours.

Iron Maiden and Rush are two bands that it seems everyone wears only their Iron Maiden or Rush shirts to the shows. Those are two bands that 90% of the crowd are guys, not sure if there is a correlation there....hmmm...

totally agree. past handful of PJ shows i've been wearing a ridiculous looking liam finn shirt that i scored at an EV solo show back in like 2008. draws compliments.

Is wearing my stitched Mookie Blaylock Hawks jersey breaking "the rules"...if so which ones? And as I said before I hope I am breaking the rules of these blathering idiots who only think its uncool to wear band tshirts to shows because some movie told them so.
