Wearing a replica top..


Right up there with lasses who wear their pyjamas to drop their kids off at school or to go on holiday in… just screams “I’m off to Benidorm” to me when you see it in any airport.

The key to happiness:

- Wear whatever makes YOU happy.
- Pity those that would look down on you for what you're wearing. Their lives must be shallow as hell if they need to do that.
- Don't "yuck" someone else's "yum". Find comfort and joy in the variation you see from other people.

Didn't realise there was apparel rules for over 60's?
Was out on the lash yesterday.
Moncler polo shirt
Wear London shorts
Converse basey boots.
Ray Ban Aviators
Fred Perry bucket hat with me safc veterans in need poppy badge.
Did get strange looks like cos all the bars here are aussie peasant places so if you not wearing a sleeveless 'footy' top, cargo shorts and thongs you look out of place.Landlord of Numptys bar was sporting his celtic top like so I walked reet past there.

Or shop. I was on checkout when I first started with ASDA and I saw a woman in her dressing gown!
 
I used to think it looked sackless on adults. Now though, I see it was my own insecurities and really it doesn't exactly matter. Seeing red and white outside of the area is class to be fair.

The Mags take it to another level mind, to the point of wearing it in places that seem a bit try hard. I went to Download Festival last week and the number of their tops I saw was ridiculous. Especially considering the general ethos of the festival being inclusive and for all, compared to the regime that now run that club.
 
Although people can wear whatever they want......It is abhorrent to see many of the scum wearing their monochrome rags to promote a regime that murders...... all for a bit of Silverware,.....while the manufacturers and the Clubs are raking it in at £55 a pop is it now.....More fools those that buy them!!! :cool:

I'm 60 and have always worn a top to Wembley, not otherwise. For other games, I wear a Sunderland polo shirt. Unfortunately, the club haven't been doing therefore a while, well I haven't seen one.

One of the best ever SAFC shirts was the asics Lambton one that was really a polo shirt.
I know there’s a big debate between those who like collars and those who don’t but when we have a collared polo type top it adds an element of gravitas that makes it a bit more compatible with wearing outside of doing sports IMO like.

I was at an outdoor party / barbecue a couple of weeks ago and wore my replica white third kit - the Umbro one with the red and blue collar. The replica is made of pique cotton not sweaty polyester so it’s hardly different from wearing a polo shirt only with the Umbro diamonds on the arms and the ship badge.

So with us changing kit every year I’m always in favour of a version with a polo collar every so often. and I love the replica retro versions done in pique cotton. I have all three from that year - the wide stripe home kit and the royal blue with the red and white collar.

What’s wrong with it like
 
Just wear the hewer.

Although I was slightly disappointed but not surprised to see a mag wearing one in Kos last neet, but was surprised to see a lad sitting him a lad wearing a Sunderland top. Ha way man. Wtaf

I wear mine round here mainly to wind the mutants up I get some very odd looks

Mind not sure that has to do with me wearing my Sunderland top or getting a 3 litre bottle of frosty jacks at 0900 on a Morning

3 litre Hank? The high ABV must be negatively affecting your cognitive powers (according to the AI genie!).

"Frosty Jack's cider has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 7.5%. It is a strong cider, as most ciders have an ABV between 4% and 6%, according to a cider website. The cider is packaged in 500ml cans, 1 litre bottles, and 2.5 litre bottles"
