Wearing a replica jersey as a grown man

Jamiednm · May 10, 2016

On TalkSport last week, Adrian Durham was ranting about fellas that wear football tops - to the match! I was bemused by it. He questioned what kind of man wears a replica jersey to a game (although he was ok with people wearing it under a jacket for example).

Am I the only one who finds this baffling? Surely, if a grown man is going to wear a football jersey anywhere, it's at the match, to show his colours. Not just in football, but in every other major sport as well.

I haven't bought a football top since my early 20s, but if I did, I'd wear my Everton top to Goodison. With that in mind, am I a pleb, or is Durham talking out of his arse again?

Durhams talking rubbish mate. The game and football training, only time its acceptable.

And dont ever have a name on the back if you're an adult you bad weirdos.

Its not socially acceptable for anybody over the age of 15 to wear a football top other than for playing football in.

I wear mine at every game and sometimes when im nipping the shop.

Screw society and what it demands we conform to.

I received a circa 1978 retro shirt for xmas/birthday. I've worn it in work, at Asda/Tesco and at my kopite sisters .

Wear it to the match and have your missus wear it to bed.

Also Durham is a disgrace of a human being.

Good and very valid points, both.

I'll go with whatever the cool kids decide is ok.

5-a-side, and going the game. That's it.

Unless of course you're an RS fan, where apparently it's completely acceptable to sport one to breakfast when staying in a hotel. I'm not a regular hotel frequenter, but every time I do, you can guarantee one of the mouth-breathers will be there, bedecked in their finest garb, tucking into their full English. Usually an away shirt.

Anyone over the age of 16 caught wearing a replica shirt should be shot out of a cannon

Hi mate. How are you doing today?

Adrian Durham is a clueless, idiotic wank stain with all the sartorial wit of a sweat sandwich

If he says it's bad to do something, I'd do it anyway as a matter of principle
