I'll silently judge you if you have your own name/number on it but I really don't care. I also don't have a problem with wearing jerseys out and about on game day. I used to wear jerseys a lot more than I do now. It wasn't a conscious decision on my part though, just evolving fashion. Still, if I saw someone wearing a jersey just out and about? I wouldn't judge them for it. If anything I'd go "oh cool" and move on with my life. Of all the things one could get judgemental over? Casting judgements on adults wearing jerseys is silly. This applies, with a more strenuous silent judgement, if the jersey has #69 and is clearly not a jersey representing a player that wore the number (e.g., Jarred Allen). This often comes with a "pithy" name-on-back. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Needless to say, I didn't strike up a conversation with the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me easier to find Meh. I live in Wisconsin (not a native) and it’s a different universe here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see our parish Catholic priest conduct Sunday services in Packer garb. It’s just how it is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he could wear a Colts hat (I think I remember something about him being a Colts fan) but it is the ultimate display of indifference. My eternal super bowl hat, perfect time to wear it.

DCarp1231 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I’m definitely gonna give you a side eye if I see you walking around a sports event wearing a polo shirt. Even if it’s a team authentic one. Nobody needs to wear that crap except the coaches and front office staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought getting a team polo/sweatshirt is a good alternative to getting a jersey in case that player leaves. Or if you feel odd about being an adult wearing a jersey (though I don't, personally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnPheitseog Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 All I wear to work are sports team polos. To a game? I’m fine with the idea, I just don’t do it. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There’s also a certain level of cringe when fans wear non-era-appropriate jerseys. For example, at a Redskins game, there’s a high level of fans who wear Nike-Era Sean Taylor jerseys. It doesn’t sit right with me personally. Taylor never donned a Nike jersey. Only Reebok. The worst part about it? They aren’t custom. The team sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see old players in New Jersey’s, that’s more of an issue for me. But, it’s your dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 What makes going to a game interesting is the various, jersey's, shirts, polo shirts and what have you. Lets not forget there was a time what you wore everyday was what you normally wore to a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the argument against jerseys is that they make a grown adult look like they're trying too hard to be a player, then a logo polo is what, makes you look like a trainer?
