Grown men wearing football shirts

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I saw an FKW (full kit wanker) the other day. He was out with his partner, just going shopping or whatever. They're a special breed the FKWs; how did you manage to get a partner and where do you keep your wallet are just 2 of the questions I'd like to stop an FKW and ask.

Thankfully, I think it's more of a continental thing but there's plenty of UKers on show on a website, or possibly FB page dedicated to this illness.

I often wonder if footy shirt wearers are just FKWs still in the closet, once inside do they top the look off with the full replica. It's even more remarkable if they top the look off by going to the effort of having a name a number printed on the back of the shirt.

So...erm, football shirts on a grown man who's not actually playing footy at the time; yay or nay?

Regards,

Torch

Good one, any sports. I went out to a posh restaurant recently and saw a bloke on a snooker kit.

When I was in Vegas a couple of years ago, there was tons of yanks in replica baseball shirts.

Definitely, any sports.

Saddest sight seeing overweight middle age men wearing football out shopping with their missus, you’d think they’d learn to dress like an adult. I saw a man in his 50’s the other week in Sainsbury’s in full Arsenal kit, with white trainers, just going about his business.

You're way too wide of the mark of you think middle-aged is the cut-off point.

When is the cut of point? Once your out of childhood? Tennage years? "

Up to 15, fine anywhere

15 to 17, ok at the match but depends on the fit for social use.

18-24, ok for a big game but not if you're with your dad and you're both wearing them

24 on, full cut-off, shirts consigned to a carrier bag in the loft.

I usually wear an England t-shirt or favourite teams colours if watching a game at my home or a friends place. Never outside of this though.

There and to the left a bit

I must confess I find it odd to see someone wearing the full kit out - but have no issue with anyone wearing a top, wouldn't do so personally, but that's personal preference.

To expand on a point already hinted at - is it any different from wearing a band t-shirt, or even a branded one with a logo on it?

No. Hitting the ball in the right direction is my downfall....and getting it out of the sandpits. Then there's the hole at the end, I normally just nudge the ball in.

To be honest, I don't like the sport. I just stay onboard for the couple of weekends away it brings.

Watford shouldn't have been allowed in the FA Cup Final - Big foam handed, face painted, cardboard clapper clapping football fans like this don't deserve it. Watford FC is more like a care in the community project than a football club.

Personally haven’t owned a full football kit since I was a child, I do have about 30 football shirts which I do wear quite frequently.

I guess wearing a full football kit as an adult male who isn’t playing football is a bit odd but I see no issue with any adult wearing what they want to wear as long as it isn’t harming others!
