Its a sliding scale really. To many of us a world champs jersey is the same as an Olympic medal or your granddads VC. Alright to wear if you are a kid on show and tell day but not as an adult. It's representative of an individuals success and has been earnt.
Its wrong unless it is yours by right of success or participation. Eg you can wear a GB shirt if you competed. In fact I would say that it should be worn on the right occasion.
Team kit brings out another argument. First why the **** would you have anyone's name on you unless you paid for it or at worse its the make of the garment eg Endura? Less objectionable with regard to old expired teams.
Why? Well like much of life, its just because that the way its done.
Some people suggest that wearing team kit supports a team. And just how is that? I would argue the same as above, if its team kit and you are not in the team you have no right to wear it. I would dispute even the teams moral right to sell it as it devalues it but that's up to them to decide not me I suppose.
Elitist. Not really but if so why not. My vague prejudice is that its all a bit sad but each to their own.
I don't subscribe to the fact that's it becoming ok as I don't see that modern attitudes are always good. Tradition has a lot going for it and I feel that it is a shame when valid traditions are diluted by those who are unaware of them.
Having said all that if you are so inclined to wear team kit good luck to you, it is up to you not some opinionated guru on the web and I would defend your right to take such an action, misguided though it might be.
. However you cannot be upset if some take umbrage.
I also object to mens hats indoors, failure to open doors for ladies and to have mobile phones switched on in pubs and cinemas.
Re club kit. I just couldn't rejoin my old club as their current colours are foul. Why is it that so many club colours are awful?
Oh yeah. Please don't mention the footy supporters wearing club kit. Do we really want to be tarred with the same brush?
