    I don't have a problem with people wearing concert t-shirts of the band they're going to see. It's kind of cool to be traveling to a show and see other people wearing PJ shirts at McDonald's or something.

    I generally don't have any issues with people wearing jerseys to games, either. The major sports pet peeve I have is the misuse of the pronoun "we". "Man, we really need to get this first down!" "We really need to work on picking up those blitzes." Unless you're on the team, on the coaching staff, or work for the team in some capacity, please do not use we.


    heres a little story for you dr:

    back in the 90s rupert murdoch was bored and decided hed fuck with our rugby league competition. so he got in the ear of several of the established clubs and creatded new ones and called it super league. this did not go down well with the traditionalists who knew murdoch is a piece of shit and had zero interest in the sport of
    rugby league(or any sport for that matter) outside the buck he could make from it. there were casualities... several teams that shoudlve been supported by the rugby league themselves were not and they found
    themselves extinct or amalgamated with other clubs. one of the clubs that the league thought it a good idea to get rid of was the south sydney rabbitohs. the bunnies, as they are affectionately called, are the oldest club in the league and no club has won more premierships. they are a tough as nails club from a working class inner city area of sydney. to say they are not a glamour club is an understatement. anyways...
    ... when it was announced that the bunnies would no longer be a part of the league, all hell broke loose. their fans werent gonna take this lying down. it made zero sense to get rid of them. so the fans worked together, they got high profile fans of the club to speak for them and they took the league to court. yes, thats right, they got the law involved. and you know what happened???? the south sydney rabbitohs were bought by russell crowe(one of those high profile fans) and peter holmes a court and reinstated in the league. it was a glorious win for the league and as far as im concerned the greatest moment in sports fandom ever. so you tell me, when bunnies fans speak of their team, do you think its ridiculous they say 'we'... cause i sure as hell dont.

    its a shame the fans of the teams that disappeared werent as proactive as souths fans... and i never understood why the didnt fight for their teams.

    Sure was great and the game is better off with them in it. Shame the bears didn't do the same thing.... I miss them, I loved them and now I go for another team, but the bears were my first love.

    i miss the bears too. NSO is such a nice ground. and it has a killer centre. .. no one wantd to be tackled on that cricket pitch. it has always amazed me that a team like the sharks can continue to survive and yet norths and newtown bit the big one. it also saddens me that agreat club like the dragons felt the need to amalgamate with illawarra. as a souths fan it pains me a little to acknowledge that (growing up my father taught me well about who the enemy was ;) )... but you have to wonder when the 2nd greatest club in the league feels the need to merge a team who has achieved nothing much of anything.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    i think it's kind of sad that people care this much about what other people wear :?

    I like rules,
    but this is the truth.

    If it ain't offensive
    (ie. inappropriate words on the name bar)
    then who cares?

    Ah, + to anyone who sports the number 69 on the back:
    HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
    We get it, you're a terror in the sack- bravo!

    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    seems appropriate to refer folks here:
    viewtopic.php?f=14&t=121118&hilit=+fraud :thumbup:

    as for jerseys....rick reily's a dope so i didn't read the article but according to juggler: only on game days, no putting your own name on the back or personalizing it, and if your of a certain age, i think only throw backs to players of your youth are most appropriate.

    did you stone and andy wood wearing their cowboys parphenalia in pj20? you probably could have guessed what i was thinking at the time... :lol:
