Fans in Replica Shirts - Yes/No?

Simple question. Are you 'having' replica kits?

Personally (And I don't mean to offend so please don't take it offensively) I dislike seeing 45+ blokes in a replica shirt.
I'm not against them wearing Club branded polo tops, or coats etc, but I just think shirts are for kids to wear.

I used to wear them, and on occasion I sometimes do if I have nothing else to put on, I wear them on non-matchdays, but I just don't think wearing one at the match is right.
It's the players uniform, you wouldn't see a Star Wars fan wearing a Darth Vader outfit at the cinema on release would you? Well, at least I hope not..

Anyways, we all have opinions, have nothing against people that DO wear kits to the games, just find their choice to wear it slightly cringey, especially those who get players names on the back. Those whom got a Hamann 16 shirt last season are a (respectable) prime example to how cringey they can be.

Maccer i am one of those cringe people you are talking about... Im 19 and have always had shirts, got Lewington 2 years ago, Chadwick last year and if Morrison signs a full contract I will get him on this years haha. I was even close to buying the pink goalkeeper shorts. When we were in the hockey stadium I had 2 full kits and still wear the shorts and tops now!

Personally I wear mine everywhere and dont find it an issue.

What I cant understand is that this posting has 12 comments already, yet the post about the game on Saturday only has had 6!!!!.
I am very dissapointed in th elack of postings and debate around our games at the moment.
Take a look at Huddersfields match threads, they regulary get in excess of 100 comments on these. Lets talk about our great footballing prowess and the matches in more detail...
PS.. I am a 49 year old replica shirt waering dad and I am proud to wear my shrt on matchdays..

Hazsa19, "Anyone who thinks getting 69 on their back is funny doesn't belong in the 21st Century. "

As long as the young lady is pretty, On my back, on my front, swinging from chandelier, I really have no preference, not sure what this has to do with replica shirts though

I admit I'm over 45 but haven't worn my away shirt yet. I think I will save it for a special occasion.

Furz, are you saying going to see MK Dons isn't a special occasion?

posted on 3/10/11

Of course watching MK Dons is special so I must mean extra special to wear the shirt
