FinsUp1214 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 There’s somebody who lives at my apartment complex that has a Napoli window sticker and license plate holder on thier car. When I see foreign soccer club stuff around here, it’s usually one of the Mexican clubs, Premier League clubs, or Barcelona. Seeing anything from Napoli, let alone car decor, was a bit of a shocker. — One of my favorite examples from TV would be the various team gear some of the characters wear on How I Met Your Mother. There’s the Canucks gear Robin occasionally wears (which makes sense as her character is from British Columbia), but Marshall and Ted both wear random college and baseball team gear fairly often in the earlier seasons. The most random is probably Marshall - a character from Minnesota living in New York - wearing a Wyoming Cowboys hoodie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 On 5/17/2023 at 1:28 PM, Gobbi said: During a trip to Italy in September 2019, I was wearing an Eagles shirt while hauling luggage from the train station to my Airbnb in Rome... I hear from an Italian guy walking towards me "How do you lose to Stafford?!" razzing me about the loss to the Lions that had just happened a few days prior. It was the last thing I would have expected to hear as I didn't expect my shirt to prompt any attention. We chatted football for a little bit and to my surprise, he rolled up his sleeve to show an Atlanta Falcons logo tattooed on his arm. The comment about my shirt was one thing but to meet a guy in Rome with a Falcons tattoo is something I never would have predicted. Also odd that a guy from BC is wearing an Eagles shirt! Unless you're "Tom from Vancouver". Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

tBBP Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 So I'm sure there's a good reason I just saw a large Savannah Bananas logo superimposed onto the side of a resort hotel...in Las Vegas.... Like, why would anyone care about an MiLB in South Georgia team way the freak out here??

They were a summer collegiate team that started doing Harlem Globetrotters-eque games of baseball on the side and then dropped the summer team aspect and are now essentially just baseball's version of the Globetrotters. Looking them up, they're in Las Vegas this weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discogod Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 When I was at high school in the mid-90s I used to walk past a house that was covered in NY Giants signs - a fairly unusual sight in a small town in the English Midlands. I went past the same house for the first time in a decade or so the other day and the original signs are still there, along with a whole load of new ones and a replica helmet mounted on one of the gateposts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rich Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Was looking at some stuff on the internet, and came across this-- a photo of the late Terry Kath of the band Chicago, in concert wearing a WHA Chicago Cougars jersey... Come to find out, he did the hockey jersey thing on stage A LOT... 5 1 Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Speaking of random jersey sightings—or just random sightings period—I'm still trying to figure out how this happened: What either of them was doing in Jacksonville of all places is still lost on me, but yet...there they are. (For those not in the know, the other guy is UFC all-time great Rashad Evans.)

Bmac Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I randomly found (and bought) a Tampa Bay Devil Rays hat at a little mom-and-pop sporting goods shop in southern New Hampshire in like 2005. The only other team merchandise there was for the Red Sox. Quote https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 A neighbor down the street from me in Cincinnati has a Miami Heat flag flying from their house. You might think that's not that weird with the Heat being one game from the Finals, but this person has had this flag on their house round the calendar since I moved to the neighborhood four years ago.

maz Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I get to work at 3 am sometimes, and today one of the nighttime janitors was wearing a t shirt with something similar to this on it: It was a little more professional looking with what I think was a roundel instead of banner around a creature with a less "2007 Flash animation" appearance and closer to a typical minor league logo from the past 25 years. I thought the logo had "Crawdads" on it, but haven't found any hockey team with a logo resembling it. There's also a house in one part of Pittsburgh I am frequently in that regularly has the Cubs' "W" flag flying outside, and another with a Jeep in the driveway that has a St. Louis Blues tire cover.

Discogod Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Doing my weekly shop at my local supermarket and I saw a mobility scooter parked in the entrance atrium totally decked out in Alabama gear, including a huge "Roll Tide" sign on the back. Didn't get a chance to see the person who owned it, but it certainly struck me as an unusual sight for this part of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
