Amy Lawn Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hoy, efests, where do we stand on wearing the t-shirt of the support band?

Meh, something about taking as many slaps about the chops as I did as a youth for wearing certain band shirts means I get a bit possessive! Compromise. More than happy for kids to wear Iron Maiden shirts they bought in Topshop. The deal is that they have to wear it out of the shop and walk 15 minutes to the station surrounded by aggressive bellends in Burberry baseball caps who then corner them and punch them in the face. If they can stick with that, they get to keep the shirt. Thank God I went through therapy to let all of this go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, ludicrous. Little girls going to watch Disney on Ice dressed as Elsa get a free pass because they're small children, but grown adults going to watch the football dressed like they're a member of the team is a sorry sight. B. They're really wearing the gear to be like "we are this team, and you are the other team", so they know which crowd they're in; only one crowd at a gig. I didn't make the rules, nobody here made the rules, but those are the rules. We don't wear a bands' t-shirt to their own gig; you can't wear a tank top two days in a row, and you can only wear your hair in a pony tail once a week, we only wear jeans or track pants on Fridays, and on Thursdays we wear pink. If you break any of these rules, you can't sit with us at lunch. 2 minutes ago, Woffy said: Not cool. At least less cool than wearing an eFests t-shirt to an eFests meet. Or is it? I'm so confused.

Who am I kidding, I'd wear it twice if I didn't miss the meet, which I've been failing to attend since 2009.
